Patrick Kielty's Irish break was hosting his own live show PK Tonight, which attracted a 60% audience share on BBC N.I. and it won him an RTS Award for Best Regional Presenter.

His first network prime time show followed, hosting After The Break on BBC1, but it was the Channel 4 show Last Chance Lottery, that made him a household name, which he followed with The National Lottery Big Ticket on BBC1.

So far this year, Patrick has fronted a new quiz show Stupid Punts, which aired on BBC Choice and BBC2. His extremely successful chat show Patrick Kielty Almost Live returned for its fourth series on BBC1 and another is planned for early next year.

Patrick was co-presenter on BBC1's Fame Academy with Cat Dealey and is now a recognised face and household name in the UK.
