Ted Robbins
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ted Robbins (born in Liverpool) is an English comedian and actor. He is the brother of Kate, Emma, Amy and Jane Robbins, and also second cousin of Paul McCartney.
He took a degree in English and Drama from Liverpool University. He later worked at Butlins as a redcoat. He co-starred on Kate and Ted's Show with his sister.
A career in theatre and television has seen him play many parts as well as starring with his sister Kate in shows on ITV, and presenting quiz and gameshows such as Quiz Night, Bratpack, and Chain Letters.
He also appeared in Matt Lucas and David Walliams' "Rock the Blind", a spin off from the series Rock Profile as Pete Waterman and Gary Barlow's room mate "Spud". Robbins later appeared in Little Britain playing a semi-autobiographical character as Paul McCartney's cousin. He has also been in two episodes of Two Pints Of Laer And A Packet Of Crisps.
Generally recognised as one of the top TV warm-up studio hosts in the country, Ted has recently been returning to dramatic ways with appearances in Holby City, Merseybeat, Doctors, Brookside, Lead Balloon, and is universally hated as the man who burned down the Phoenix club - Den Perry - in Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights. He also appeared in The League of Gentlemen as the lead singer of 'Creme Brulee'.
Ted married an Accrington girl, Judy, and they live in Rossendale, with their two children, Jack and Molly.
Ted presented Loose@5:30, which did not last very long due to poor ratings.
He also presented a morning show on Radio Lancashire from 9am - 12pm on weekdays and can now be seen as the Governor in CBBC's comedy show The Slammer.
