Biography
Actor and gravelly-voiced comedian who, despite being a supporter of Stoke FC, is a sports fan and presented They Think it's All Over for ten years. In a strange change of direction, in 2005 he left TTIAO to take up a marketing job for a finance company - maybe not that strange when you consider he used to be an insurance salesman.
In 2007, he came back to host the EuroMillions draw on UKTV.
