#SHOWBIZ: TVB anchor Jacky Lin steals spotlight, dubbed 'prettier' than Miss Hong Kong 2026
HONG KONG: The recently concluded Miss Hong Kong 2026 pageant delivered its usual glitz and glamour on Aug 30, with Bernice Yuen taking the coveted crown while Ada Tang and Scarlett Li secured the first and second runner-up spots.
On August 30, the final results of the Miss Hong Kong 2026 pageant were broadcast by TVB, drawing attention not only to the crowned Miss Bernice Yuen but also to the news anchor who delivered the broadcast. TVB news anchor Jacky Lin, 33, found herself in the spotlight, with netizens praising her appearance and demeanor. Dressed in a red blazer and with minimal makeup, Lin's elegant presence stood out against photos of the top three pageant winners.
Netizens quickly dubbed her the evening's hidden champion, suggesting she should have competed on stage herself. Lin, born to Singaporean parents, is already known for her beauty and academic achievements. She earned her degrees from the Chinese University of Hong Kong and has been hailed by loyal TVB viewers as the "Goddess of News."
Beyond her looks, Lin has a strong linguistic background, speaking five languages including Cantonese, Mandarin, English, Japanese, and French. Lin transitioned from teaching to a career at TVB, becoming an anchor in 2019. Her recent marriage to fellow TVB news reporter Timothy Li in January added to the pageant's attention. Additionally, judge and former Miss Chinese International Christine Kuo, 43, received widespread online praise, with commenters suggesting she could win the pageant again.
