Jamie Robert Cook (born 8 July 1985) is an English guitarist and songwriter. He is best known as a founding member of the indie rock band Arctic Monkeys, with whom he has recorded five studio albums.
Originally a next door neighbour of fellow band member, Alex Turner, Cook and the other band members picked up their respective instruments and formed a band in 2001. He is the son of an engineer.
He is the most outspoken member, going on record as saying he "fucking hates the [print] news" and defending the band's numerous successive records by saying, "I couldn’t see us being like Coldplay, it’d just be fucking boring. You tour your album for three years and play the same fucking gig night after night. It must really be depressing. Some people might enjoy doing that, but we couldn't." Following the release of their debut album, Cook said: 'Now, I'd like us to be able to grow like the Clash. When they started, it was a very basic, punky record. Then they started to take off and move in lots of directions. That's what we want."
Katie Elizabeth Cook (née Downes) (born May 16, 1984) is an English glamour model and Page 3 girl.
Downes was born in Liverpool, England. She has appeared in nearly all of the British lad mags, and has been on the cover of Loaded, Maxim, Nuts, and Zoo Weekly. Nuts Magazine ranked her 11th sexiest on their list 50 Hottest Blondes of 2008, placing her higher than other glamour models Amy Diamond and Rhian Sugden.
She had a cameo appearance in the movie Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo as a window washer in a wet white t-shirt. In the movie's special features, Downes is seen auditioning for the role against Page 3 models Michelle Marsh, Nicola Tappenden, and Nikkala Stott.
Katie Downes appeared in the reality television series Poor Little Rich Girls on ITV where for a week she swapped her life as model with a young woman named Michelle McManus who worked as a toilet cleaner.
Downes began dating the Arctic Monkeys guitarist Jamie Cook in 2006. They became engaged in 2012 and were married in May 2014.
