    Evelyn Tan Yuit Yin[1] (born 7 October 1974) is a Singaporean actress, host, educator and former singer.

    Tan was ranked by local media as the 'Fifth Ah Jie' for being the fifth most prominent actress in Singapore's Chinese-language entertainment industry of that time after Zoe Tay, Fann Wong, Ann Kok and Phyllis Quek. She was prominently a full-time Mediacorp artiste from 1997 to 2005.

    Early life[edit]

    Tan studied at Chung Cheng High School (Main)[2] and Temasek Junior College[3] and graduated from the National University of Singapore with a degree in mathematics.[4]

    Career[edit]

    Tan joined Star Search Singapore in 1997 after university and was offered a contract by Television Corporation of Singapore (TCS) after making the top 20.[4] The following year, she won the Most Popular Newcomer poll at the Star Awards 1998.[5]

    In 1998, Tan was signed by Hype Records, the third TCS artiste signed up by the company after Fann Wong and Zoe Tay.[6]

    In 1999, Tan and Dreamz FM, a local band, performed the song "Together" (心连心), the National Day theme song, at the 1999 Singapore National Day Parade.[7]

    In September 2000, Tan joined the newly formed SPH MediaWorks and diversified into hosting, presenting and newsreading.[8][9][10] When it merged with MediaCorp in 2005, she was transferred to MediaWorks' parent company but subsequently resigned for family reasons.

    Personal life[edit]

    She married actor-host Darren Lim on 27 March 2004.[11] The couple have three sons and a daughter.[12]
