His first break came on Paramount Television in 1996, when Davina McCall encouraged him to do some telly after seeing him in a comedy club. He went on to play characters on Channel 4鈥檚 鈥楶opworld鈥� and featured what would become his Bo鈥橲electa! characters.

Leigh has also hosted Sing If You Can鈥� alongside Stacey Solomon, 鈥楰eith Lemon鈥檚 LemonAid鈥� and a reboot of 鈥楾hrough the Keyhole.'

Now he's embarking on his first ever live tour, 鈥楳y First Time鈥�, covering 24 dates between March and April, and concluding with a run of three shows in Leigh鈥檚 hometown of Leeds.

Leigh鈥檚 two tracks today are from U2 and Terence Trent D鈥橝rby.
