Belinda Lee Xin Yu (born 8 July 1977) [1] is a Singaporean television host, actress and former MTV Asia VJ.
In a 2023 interview with infotainment programme Tuesday Report, Lee revealed that she remembered having a very tough childhood, where she was fostered by her relatives when she was an infant and only returned to live with her parents when she was about three. Her family was struggling financially then and that she had poor grades in school. She then joined her school's dance club and it helped her to gradually regain her confidence. [2]

In 2015, her first English book was published; Larger Than Life: Celebrating The Human Spirit features ten extraordinary people who she met in her years spent hosting travel programmes, such as Find Me a Singaporean and The Places We Live In. All royalties will be donated to World Vision. [7]
Lee left Mediacorp as a full-time artiste in 2016 upon the conclusion of her contract.
In an interview, Lee revealed that she developed a panic disorder between 2011 and 2012 and the condition deterred her from hosting live shows for a period of time. [8] She became a Christian in 2013. [9]
