I am a writer, producer and broadcaster, with over 15 years of experience, producing live television and digital content for major broadcasters, publishers and brands worldwide. I've produced over 1,000 hours of live television and created game shows around the world.

Passionate about TV and radio, I'm also a TV Critic for Talk Radio, BBC Sussex and BBC Surrey, and host my own comedy podcast about the TV industry on Spotify, iTunes and Soundcloud.

​Current Projects
​
In 2016, I joined News UK to write, produce and direct The Sun's weekly celebrity game show, Having A Ball. Similar in style to Celebrity Juice, I produced four series (26 episodes), which led to a nationwide tour sponsored by Sun Bingo, culminating in a record breaking special at Blackpool Tower. I also produced and directed a live nightly spin-off game show, Quiz Night Live.

Following this, I wrote, produced and directed The Sun's showbiz news pilot, Dan Wootton's Bizarre. I also produced a variety of digital content for News UK brands including a Game Of Thrones talk show for The Times and a Shed Seven gig for Virgin Radio.

I wrote and produced daily videos for The Sun's TV Magazine on Amazon Echo, and The Sun's Alternative Queen's Speech with Gemma Collins on Facebook.

Most recently, I helped News UK launch their high profile, live game show app, Q LIVE. As executive producer, I produced and directed up to six live shows a day, seven days a week. Partnering with brands such as Mastercard and Talk Sport, and booking guests such as Peter Andre to Judge Rinder, our quiz app attracted over 200,000 downloads across 640 episodes.

I'm currently a TV Critic for The Eamonn Holmes Show on Talk Radio, BBC Sussex and BBC Surrey, and also host my own comedy podcast about the TV industry.
