WORLD NEWS – GB – How old is Strictly’s Bill Bailey and who is his wife?

Bill Bailey surprised Strictly Come Dancing 2020 viewers as it was installed to follow the incorrect steps of comic vignettes like Ed Balls and Dave Myers – but he proved he was really capable of cutting some shapes.

In Movie Week, he scored 26 out of 30 possible points, after impressing the judges with him with Spaghetti Western Paso doble.

This cowboy isn’t the only goalkeeper, and he’s partnered with professional dancer, Otti Mapuse. The couple are favorites to win, along with young men HRVY and Maisie Smith.

He is best known for the role of Mane in the sitcom Black Books, and his stand-up shows where he fuses comedy and music.

Bell also appears frequently in panel shows, such as « Don’t Care About Users », « Got News For You » and QI..

He had his own comic series on the sketch show Is It Bill Bailey? Aired on BBC Two in 1998, and featured in Channel 4 teen drama Skins as Maxxie’s father..

Bell also starred in the comedy In The Long Run, written and starring Idris Elba about the early life of a Hollywood actor who grew up in East London.

Bill Bailey real name is Mark, but his nickname comes from the school’s music teacher who often played the jazz song « Wonn’t You Come Home Bill Bailey » on the guitar.

They met at one of Belle’s parties in 1987 while she was running a bar in Edinburgh.

Bell spoke to The Guardian about his son’s name: “Contrary to popular belief, Dax was not named after a Star Trek character..

« They had a son named Dax and we always associated him with being in Indonesia and we always said, ‘If we had a baby, that would be in the run.’.
