Biography

At the age of 15, Backer went to the United States as an exchange student for a year.[2][3]

From 1987 to 1989 Backer volunteered at the private radio station Radio Hamburg.[4][5]

In 1989 she moved to London to work at the then Europe-wide, exclusively English-language TV channel, MTV Europe.[5] Backer was the first German to present and VJ there and among the programmes she presented were The Coca-Cola Report, The European Top 20 and Awake on the Wild Side.[6][5] She remained there until 1996.[3] While still at MTV Europe, she created and moderated the youth program Bravo TV on the German TV channel RTL II from 1993–95.[5]

From 1996 to 1999 she presented the daily cultural programme The Ticket on NBC Europe.[5]

From 2000 to 2009, Backer continued to do TV presenting as well as voiceover work.[5] In 2005 she presented the in-flight music show for Emirate Airlines.[5]

For her work as a television presenter, Backer was awarded a Goldene Kamera award in 1994[7] and in 1993 and 1994 two Bravo Otto awards.[8][9]

Backer also hosts and presents conferences, business presentations, and galas throughout Europe.[9]

Personal life

In 1992, Backer began dating former Pakistani cricketer and now former prime minister Imran Khan.[10][11] He gave her books on Islam and took her travelling with him through Pakistan.[3] In 1995, she converted to Sunni Islam from Protestantism. The relationship ended after the three years. According to Backer, she and Khan were planning to get married and move to Skardu.[12][13][14]

She does not wear a headscarf at all times but insists that "women who cover themselves are not discriminated against but respected." In May 2009 she published the book From MTV to Mecca – How Islam Changed My Life

On 14 April 2006, she married the Moroccan television journalist Rachid Jaafar.[15] She and Jaafar later divorced.[15] Backer lives in London and works as a fine art consultant.[9]
