Born:
March 28, 1968
in
Northwood, Middlesex
Best Known For:
Hosting Soccer AM on a Saturday morning for over a decade
Early-life:
Tim was born in Middlesex in 1968 and became a die-hard Chelsea fan at an early age. He always hoped for a career in sport and presenting, and as a teenager began sending out letters to production companies looking for work. For a time he worked in music as a merchandise manager for touring bands.
Career:
After starting out as a VJ on MTV UK, Tim moved to the Big Breakfast, where he worked his way up from researcher to producer of the show. From there, he got the Soccer AM job in 1996, and continued to host it with Helen Chamberlain, as well as producing it, for 11 years. After leaving, he moved to BBC Radio Five Live before settling at Something For The Weekend, the Sunday breakfast show he hosts with Louise Redknapp and chef Simon Rimmer. He also launched online project Channel Bee.
Quote:
'I did not choose Something For The Weekend over Soccer AM. I love doing both. However I just turn up and present STFW whereas with Soccer AM I worked my nuts off every day writing and producing it. If I carried on doing Soccer AM I would not be able to develop my other ideas.'

Born:
May 30, 1973
in
Morley, West Yorkshire
Best Known For:
His many guises in Bo' Selecta!
Early-life:
Leigh Szaak Francis was born in Leeds on May 30, 1973. He grew up on a housing estate in Leeds, and attended the city's Harrington High School. He studied to be a graphic designer before finding fame as an entertainer.
Career:
After giving up the nine-to-five rat-race, Leigh hosted shows on Nickelodeon, appeared in sketch shows on the Paramount Channel and on Channel 4's Popworld - best known for his East European stalker character, Avid Merrion. His big break came in 2002 when Channel 4 commissioned his sketch show Bo' Selecta! With an assortment of weird and wacky characters, the show became a huge success almost overnight and spawned spin-off series featuring characters like the Bear and Keith Lemon. Lemon became a hit in his own right and led to an ITV2 vehicle, Celebrity Juice. His recent work includes Keith Lemon's LemonAid and Keith Lemon's Through the Keyhole.
Quote:
'I'd done stand-up, I don't want to do it again. I just like the medium of television. It might be a certain camera angle that makes it funny. When I got into TV, I wanted to make TV.'
Trivia:
Keith Lemon: The Movie (2012) received 0 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes.
