Jackson was born in Isle of Man to English parents, Alan Jackson and Marguerita Jackson. She has an elder sister, Alicia Jackson. The family returned to their parents' home of Woolton, Liverpool, two years after Jackson's birth so that her father, who works as a producer for BBC Radio Merseyside, could continue his media career. Jackson attended St. Edward's College, gaining ten GCSEs, and then went to sixth form to study English language, English literature, and philosophy and ethics.
