From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dominic John Littlewood (born 29th March 1965) is a TV presenter and former car dealer from Essex.
Littlewood worked in the new and used car business in Essex, and set up his own business in the late 1980s. Littlewood made his first TV appearance on Channel4's "Faking It" teaching a vicar how to be a second-hand car dealer in just one month. However, because of increasing media commitments he closed his car business in 2002.
His personality earned him an opportunity in television, and he then co-presented BBC2's "Wrong Car Right Car". Littlewood's expertise in buying and selling has been put to good use presenting BBC1's To Buy or Not to Buy and BBC2's "How I Made My Property Fortune" in 2004, while his wide-boy genial personality was used to front "Beat the Burglar" alongside ex-criminal Mike Fraser, and as a location reporter for the BBC's "Holiday". Littlewood has recorded a series of his own show, broadcasted on BBC1 from 12th June 2006 called "Don't get done, get Dom", in which he helps members of the public to get a good deals from salepeople and good customer service.
Away from television, Littlewood contributes to Top Gear Magazine, and has written pieces for the Motoring section of The Daily Telegraph. Littlewood has a property investment portfolio; his 15 years experience as a hard-nosed car dealer has proved very useful when it comes to buying and selling houses.
Littlewood won the celebrity sprint for BBC1's Comic Relief. He once broke his neck in an accident, but this has not preventing him from resuming his hobby of waterskiing barefoot. Littlewood is single and lives in Chalkwell near Leigh-on-Sea along the Thames Estuary, where he can take full advantage of his other sporting passions for sailing and jet skiing.
