David Morgan
David currently features as team captain on ITV2’s ‘Safeword’ alongside Katherine Ryan and Rick Edwards and last year, he became a new addition to the presenting team on ITV2’s ‘I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here Now!’ His love of the small screen and popular culture also led to him being featured in the BBC’s online coverage of the Eurovision Song Contest, many talking-head shows and a regular panelist spot on ‘Big Brother’s Bit On The Side’.
When this TV enthusiast isn’t being on/tweeting about/watching television, he’s travelling up and down the country performing stand up at the UK’s most prestigious clubs.
