Lounge. I recently hosted the afternoon
show at Smooth Radio across the UK.
On TV I was the host of the now
cult rated ITV show ‘ Fun House ‘ for
12 years which repeats nowadays on
Sky/Challenge, along with other ITV
shows including the Saturday morning
spectacular ‘What’s Up Doc?’, ‘10 Sharp’,
‘The Gala Opening of Disneyland Paris’
plus Sky One’s ‘UK Top 40’.
I was also the pioneer host of Sky’s first
pop video shows, shown across Europe in
40 million homes via satellite and cable
throughout the 80s.
I won the DJ edition of ‘The Weakest
Link’, raising £13K for charity. My
appearance on Channel 4’s ‘The Games’
was incredible, being trained for various
sports by Olympic champions. I have
been on ‘Celebrity Come Dine With Me’,
‘Never Mind The Buzzcocks’ and even
had a cameo role in the movie ‘Superman
Requiem’ which was released as a fan film
in 2011. I have just appeared in the new
sitcom ‘Drifters’, made by the same team
that produced ‘The Inbetweeners’ (did the
boys in that show go to MT’s lol?) so maybe
acting is the way forward now, who knows?!
In 2011 I swapped life behind the
microphone at Smooth Radio for life
in the jungle to appear on ITV’s ‘I’m A
Celebrity – Get Me Out of Here’. I joined
US actress Stefanie Powers, Mark Wright,
Dougie fromMcFly and Willie Carson,
amongst others. After the most successful
and talked-about series for many years I
emerged from the jungle after competing
with Fatima Whitbread in one of the most
gruelling Bush Tucker trials ever. Apart
from the eventual winner and runner-up,
that made me the only person NOT to be
actually voted out and I have to say it was
an incredible experience that I loved and
will always relish having been asked to do.
Recently I appeared on ‘Eggheads’,
‘Coach Trip’, ‘Big Brother’s Big Mouth’,
‘Britain’s Got More Talent’, ‘Pointless
Celebrities’ and ‘The Mcfly Show’.
I co-hosted and sang to a sell-out crowd
live at London’s O2 Arena (Christmas
2012) with Pat & Mick as part of Pete
Waterman’s Hit Factory Live extravaganza.
On TV and radio I have voiced
commercials for Pampers, Warner Bros
Cinemas, Sodastream, Rice Krispies
Squares, The Daily Mail, Branston Pickle
and Surf.
I host many live PAs across the UK,
from corporate events to DJ sets, plus
appearing for holidaymakers in Mallorca,
Ibiza, France and Austria along with
playing at retro nights in Norway, Oman
and Dubai.
50,000 + followers on Twitter (@

co.uk, along with running my own music
imaging production company www.
sharpsell.com mean I am still busy in the
business I always wanted to get into as an
MT’s schoolboy back in the Seventies.
By the way, Mr Stokes was actually fine,
just a bark that was worse than his bite,
so all in all MT’s = good times leading to a
great career that I always dreamt of.
Summer
2014
My career as a
broadcaster has
had so many
highlights that I
may start turning
this piece into my
long-awaited (from
my side that is)
autobiography
