Best Known For: Ground Force and various chat shows.
Early-life: Alan Fred Titchmarsh was born in Ilkley, West Yorkshire, on May 2, 1949. His love of gardening began while helping his grandfather on his allotment. He left school at 15 with an O-level in art and worked as an apprentice gardener at Ilkley Parks Department while studying for a City & Guilds in horticulture. He then studied at Oaklands College, Hertfordshire, before gaining a diploma at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew.
Career: Titchmarsh moved into editing gardening books, writing and broadcasting, and had a stint as a host on Pebble Mill at One on BBC One in the 1990s. He joined Gardeners' World as the main host in 1996 and Ground Force began a year later. After writing a number of horticultural books, he turned to writing novels. His first one, Only Dad, was published in 2001. More novels, gardening books and three biographies followed. He's also hosted the Proms, various series for Radio 2 and Classic FM and Love Your Garden. Despite retiring from The Alan Titchmarsh Show in 2014, he kept busy with writing and presenting commitments. TV shows he has presented since include Britain's Best Back Gardens, Masterpiece with Alan Titchmarsh and Love Your Home.
Quote: 'I am partly to blame for the decking boom, and I am sorry, I know it's everywhere these days.'
Trivia: He was awarded an MBE in the New Year Honours List in 1999 and has an honorary DSc from the University of Bradford.
Tom Bradby (Guest)
Les Dennis (Guest)
Born: October 12, 1954 in Liverpool
Best Known For: Hosting Family Fortunes.
Early-life: Born Leslie Dennis Heseltine on October 12, 1954, in Liverpool, one of four children of a taxi driver, also called Les, and his wife Winnie. He also has a half-brother from his father's first marriage. Les claims to have had a difficult relationship with his dad, who at first disapproved of his son's foray into showbusiness, and found it difficult to watch him being criticised during club performances at the start of his career. However, the pair grew close following the death of his mother from cancer in 1977.
Career: Dennis made his TV debut in Russ Abbot's Madhouse during the early 1980s; his comedy partner Dustin Gee died in 1986. Their impersonations of Coronation Street characters made them famous, but Dennis's future seemed uncertain as he started out alone. However, in 1987 he took over from Max Bygraves as host of Family Fortunes, and presented the game show for the next 15 years. Dennis has also done straight acting, appearing in Brookside, Intimate Relations, Crossroads, Casualty, Extras and The Bill. He also famously took part in Celebrity Big Brother in 2002. He joined the cast of Coronation Street in 2014.
Quote: 'Big Brother was cathartic for me in that it gave me a chance to think about things and decide what I wanted to do with my life.'
Trivia: In 2013, Dennis was a contestant on Celebrity MasterChef and finished runner-up to Ade Edmondson.
