Scherri-Lee Biggs was born in South Africa and grew up on a farm in Ballito Bay. She and her family emigrated to Perth when she was 8, where she attended St Mary's Anglican Girls' School.

As a girl, Scherri-Lee was active in dance and ballet, and at 16 she pursued a career in modelling after being scouted by an agency.

She won Miss Universe Australia in 2011 and then went on to represent the country at the Miss Universe pageant in Sao Paula Brazil, where she finished in the top ten.

In between her studies, Scherri travelled interstate and overseas before deciding to reside in Melbourne for a few years. In 2014 she decided it was time to return to the sunny west, where she joined Nine Perth.

Throughout her media career, she has worked on major broadcasts including the Australian Open, AFL, Spring Racing and featured on various travel and lifestyle programs.
