Aimee Chan Yan Mei (born 1 April 1981, Traditional Chinese: 陳茵媺) is a Canadian born actress based in Hong Kong. She was the winner of Miss Hong Kong 2006 and was offered a TVB contract shortly after.

Early life

Aimee Chan was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Her parents were immigrants from Hong Kong. She began her modeling career at the age of 16. She attended Woodbridge College in Woodbridge, Ontario. After high school, Aimee studied at the Ontario College of Art & Design. She graduated at the age of 23 and became a Graphic Designer. One year later, she entered a modelling competition and won the title. Later she competed in her first beauty pageant. Shortly thereafter, she moved to Hong Kong in 2005.

Career

Competing with nine other delegates in the Miss Chinese Toronto Pageant 2004, Chan did not place in the top 3. The eventual winner of the pageant was Lena Ma. She later hosted Toronto's What's On TV show at Fairchild.

After losing in the Miss Chinese Toronto pageant, Chan competed in the Miss Hong Kong Pageant in 2006. Though coming from Toronto, she went back to Hong Kong to compete. She made the top 21 of the Hong Kong group. After going into camp for 5 days training in Group C, she made the top 16. After filming with Seven in Korea, she competed on 12 August 2006 for the title. Though being a favorite, there were negative reports circulating about plastic surgery. Despite this she won the crown, audience favourite and won the Miss International Goodwill title as well.

As the Miss World Organization no longer accepts runners-up as contestants in the Miss World pageant, Chan was asked to compete in the Miss World 2006 pageant in Warsaw, Poland. However Aimee did not compete in Miss World 2006 due to being overage, first runner-up Janet Chow replaced her.

In January 2007, Chan competed in the Miss Chinese International 2007 pageant, representing Hong Kong. She was a favorite to win the title and was expected to at least make the top 5. However, due to an average performance in the interview stages, she placed in the top 10 only. Chan became the fifth Miss Hong Kong to not place in the top 5, after Winnie Yeung in 1996 and her predecessor, (Hoyan Mok) 1994, Kate Tsui in 2005, and Tracy Ip in 2006. The pageant was eventually won by Sarah Song of Sydney.

Upon winning Miss Hong Kong, Chan was signed by TVB and began a career in television, initially starting in MC duties at large charity shows, award shows and other live broadcasts. In 2007 Aimee was featured in TVB's Children's Music Awards. Upon passing her crown, Chan reaffirmed her interest in design - stating that she intended to work on her own brand in the future. She starred in the highly acclaimed TV drama series: Best Selling Secrets. She earned a best supporting actress nomination and won most improved actress for her work in Burning Flame III, Off Pedder and E.U. She also starred in Every Move You Make alongside Bowie Lam and Bosco Wong.

Personal life

Chan married Moses Chan in June 2013. The couple have three children: sons Aiden Joshua Chan (born 4 December 2013) and Nathan Lucas Chan (born 26 February 2015) and daughter Camilla Chan (born 27 April 2016).
