Lucy cut his acting teeth in shows like Grange Hill and Dream Team before getting the role that brought him to public attention, Luke Morgan in Hollyoaks. In this teen soap Lucy undertook a male rape storyline, for which he won the Best Newcomer Award at the 2000 British Soap Awards.
Lucy then went on to do three series of the ITV drama Footballers' Wives where he played Kyle Pascoe, a football player for fictional club Earl's Park. This gave him an even higher profile with the British public, partly due to the role and partly due to his offset tabloid escapades. In 2004 Lucy starred as Michael Sands alongside Ray Winstone in the ITV drama She's Gone.
From 2005-10, he portrayed DS Will Fletcher in ITV's The Bill, and appeared in Sky1's The Match. In 2008 ITV commissioned a one-off special called I Love Lucy 2K8, essentially a continuation of the popular "An Audience with..." series. Lucy recounted several showbiz anecdotes, did a dance routine with his The Bill colleague Trudie Goodwin and sang "I Got You Babe", with Gillian Taylforth.
In 2009 he took part in the one-off ITV drama, Whatever It Takes. The same year he resigned from The Bill.[1]
He took part as a contestant in the fifth series of ITV's Dancing on Ice, paired with series regular Maria Fillipov. On 28 March 2010, Lucy made the finale finishing as runner-up to bookies favourite Hayley Tamaddon. He appeared as Ben Lloyd on BBC One's Missing, which aired on 29 November 2010.
Lucy attended Trinity Catholic High School in Woodford Green.
A motorcycle fan, in September 2006 he crashed his Honda CBR600RR outside Elstree Studios and badly bruised himself, delaying the filming schedule on The Bill.[2]
He built up a number of homes and residential ventures. He has his own company, Gary Lucy Real Estate.[3] His latest ventures are a car selling company called Vehicle Text, a cheap and simple way to advertise and buy cars and also more recently Driving Lessons Finder, an internet based directory of driving schools and driving instructors.
