Biography

Comedian who has had a long career focussing on stand-up sets. In 1992, he was given his own series by Channel 4 and toured extensively during the 1990s. He won the 2001 series of Celebrity Big Brother despite pleading to be voted out several times. He has appeared several times on Have I Got News for You and, less surprisingly, as a guest on Jonathan Ross's chat show which is made by Dee's production company, Open Mike.

Despite some troubles with alcohol misuse in the past, his career is on a high at the moment with the successful BBC Four (latterly BBC Two) sitcom Lead Balloon being well regarded.

Trivia

He hosted a one-off quiz show A Question of Comedy for Comic Relief's Red Nose Day 2007, but it was pulled after one of the participants, Jade Goody, was involved in a Celebrity Big Brother-related scandal between recording and (non-)transmission.

Shares his date of birth (24 September 1962) with Ally McCoist.
