Charles Nall-Cain, 3rd Baron Brocket

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Charles Ronald George Nall-Cain, 3rd Baron Brocket (born 12 February 1952), also known as Charlie Brocket, is a peer and television presenter in the United Kingdom.

An Old Etonian, Brocket served in the King's Hussars as a Lieutenant. Brocket became known as a playboy, and collected classic cars, once owning forty-two Ferraris. With the collapse of the classic car market in the mid 1990s, his vehicles were losing money, and he tried to offload them quickly. He became famous after being jailed for conspiracy to commit car insurance fraud in 1996, having dismantled and hidden four of the Ferraris, claiming them to be stolen. Whilst in prison he was stabbed before being moved to Ford Open Prison. In 2004 he was a contestant on the third series of I'm a Celebrity, Get Me out of Here!. Finishing in fourth place, his new found fame made him a popular TV celebrity, making almost £1 million in offers. His autobiography, Call Me Charlie, was published in hardback in September, coming in the Top 10 Best Sellers list of 2004. He hosted the ITV1 game show Scream! If You Want to Get Off and presented Privates Exposed, a behind the scenes programme for ITV1's Bad Lads Army, on ITV2.

Brocket's parents were Ronald Nall-Cain and Elizabeth Trotter. His father died when Brocket was nine years old. The title of Baron Brocket passed to him at 25 on the death of his grandfather, Arthur Nall-Cain, 2nd Baron Brocket, at which point he inherited Brocket Hall, which was in a bad state of repair. He converted his home into a hotel and conference venue. Today he still owns the hall in Hertfordshire, which is worth about £60m, through a trust which leases it to a German consortium. The lease expires after fifty years.

Brocket married, firstly, former Vogue model Isabell Maria Lorenzo in 1982 and divorced in 1994. They have three children: Alex Nall-Cain, Antalya and William. He married, secondly, Harriet Warren on 24 June 2006.

Currently working on Brit Flick "Clubbing to Death" with Nick Moran, Huey Morgan & Dave Courtney, in which he plays a police officer. Due for release in 2007
