Jesus.. where to start! Right here goes...
I first appeared on TV on a game show called Prickly Heat on Sky One where was four teams.. Scotland England Ireland and
Before that could air I managed to get myself on a game show I had watched for years and thought looked hilarious, Man-O-Man. Hosted by Chris Tarrant this show took ten lads and got them to take part in various challenges in front of a 500 strong, all female audience.. one wrong move or unwise word and you got chucked in a pool. I don't know how but I managed to luck out every round and won a £10k Triumph motorbike.
Around this time I obviously developed a taste for the thrill of being on TV and decided I wanted to be a presenter so I moved to
I started slowly in presenting mainly due to not having a showreel at the beginning but I finally managed to get a slot as a helper on a late night, "Good Sex" type show on Living called Sextacy. Hosted by Katrina Buchanan this colourful and tongue in cheek look at the world of sex and erotica was hilarious to film and I managed to go from “himbo” to regular contributor.
I was spotted by the producer of Sextacy who recommended me for a very popular, celebrity karaoke show called Night Fever on Channel Four. I auditioned along side some celebs and managed to somehow sneak the job.. it was a dream come true to be finally working on a proper show and filming as live in Teddington Studios.
While on Night Fever I was approached to work on ITV's flagship travel show Wish You Were Here..? where I filmed and fronted around forty shows over two years.
I also worked as an invasion continuity announcer on Challenge TV while also voicing the continuity on Bravo which I did for four years.
When I finished on Wish you were here I was offered a job as an anchor presenter on Sky Travel, hosting a daily show with information and footage of destinations around the world and how to get there. I hosted show's on Sky Travel for two years, mostly working from the studio but on many occasions visiting and filming on location.. most notably
