I've been on telly loads, normally if something has gone wrong.

I'm a TV cameraman.

There was a bit on X Factor a couple of years back where I'm obviously in shot and you can even see my 'WTF I haven't read the script properly' expression lol.

Boring fact - my son is called Croyde.

Named after the lovely North Devon beach perchance?

My nephew was on “new life in the sun” all last week, he sold out 2019 and took enquiries for 2020!

Which one was he? I haven't seen last week's yet.

My mum was in a couple of chewing gum adverts, an indie film and an episode of Midsomer Murders.

She never got wealthy from it. She did it for the fun.

Treehouse in France - was on monday to Thursday.

I've been on TV three times...

Once in 1981 when I was walking down market street in Manchester when Richard Madeley was conducting a street interview.


Once in the audience of The Krypton Factor at Granada TV studios in 1982 with Gordon Burns.


Finally, in the audience at "the dream factory" in Bristol in 2008 on "Deal or no deal" with Noel Edmonds.


Total pay? Zilch!

A friend of mine was on Homes Under the Hammer.

Their 'payment' was the cost of a single skip

A friend was on 'The Vault' a few years back. Didn't get paid. (and he didn't win anything).

I was in the audience, got to stand at the front in the friends and family section. I got a full 0.5 secs of camera on me.

There was a lot of promises!!!

A bit like those promotional wedding mag, this was about the same time so was going in a bit naive..Caught only once with them

I think I did graham norton show a few years ago. Think the fee was about 300 bangers I think.

A lot of thinks there

Indeed.

One of the more random/ slightly worrying ones was when in New Orleans for a conference at university. We saw several classmates on TV, as they were going by a Burger King where there had just been a shooting a very short time before.

I prefer Putsborough but that would be a stupid name for a child.

A surfer mate has a daughter called Sennen.

I've never been on TV, hopefully.

How do you not know, do you do so many appearances the memory can't keep up, we're you drugged or was it episode with Paul Mckenna?

It was one of those types of shows.... probably was Graham Norton. Had a few sleeps since.

I was on the bohemian rhapsody documentary too, got fk all for that.

My brother was on a few years ago, he said the fee was rubbish and not worth bothering with.

I once appeared on World's Greatest Motorcycle rides, which was a tad ironic as I was on a bicycle. Got dinner and a DVD out of it.
