How old is Todd Carty, when was the Celebrity 5 Go Caravanning cast member on Dancing On Ice and when did he play EastEnders’ Mark Fowler?
After leaving Albert Square the actor featured in many hit shows on TV
EASTENDERS original cast member Todd Carty has featured in many hit shows on TV.
From his amusing stint on Dancing on Ice in 2009 to starring in popular programmes like The Bill. Here' is how you might know the actor...
How old is Todd Carty?
Todd Carty was born on August 31, 1963, in London to Irish parents.
The 54-year-old actor grew up in Kilburn and attended the Phildene Stage School in Chiswick before getting his big break in 1978 in BBC kids' drama Grange Hill.
He has starred in various pantomimes, adverts and films throughout his career.
Todd's first UK television appearance was in an advert for Woolworths at the tender age of four.
When was the Celebrity 5 Go Caravanning star on Dancing On Ice?
The star appeared on the fourth series of Dancing on Ice in 2009.
He was partnered with pro skater Susie Lipanova and faced a lot of flack from the judging panel for his lack of skating skill.
Throughout his time on the show Todd consistently performed worst in the leaderboard.
In week three, he famously lost control and catapulted into the off-stage area leaving his partner to finish the routine alone before he triumphantly returned to complete the routine.
Quite aptly he was performing to the Beatles' iconic song Help.
It was described as one of the funniest moments to ever be captured on television.
The public voted him through to the next round but he was eventually eliminated in the 5th week.
Not unbeaten by his rocky experience on the show, Todd returned for the ninth and final series of Dancing on Ice in 2014 in an 'All-Stars' special.
