John Daly

Irish Television and Radio Presenter.

From checking Cliff Richard’s teeth for peanuts, accusing Victoria Beckham of glowing (before she revealed her pregnancy) and playing the part of Oscar Wilde in dramatic reconstruction, to being bitten by an ostrich – John Daly’s presenting career has been varied but never dull.

John has been lucky enough to rub shoulders with the famous in exotic locations; Day out with Daly (2 series for BBCNI) and in the confines of a TV studio on his chat shows – Saturday Live (RTE) and The John Daly Show (5 series for BBCNI). He has itched all over wearing ridiculous costumes, playing the parts of Viking warriors, kings and clan leaders to uncover a world of contentious history A Pocket History of… which ran for two series on BBCNI.

The recent fascination of owning property abroad has allowed John to present celebrity based shows like Snap, interactive panel forum shows such as Ask the Property Experts, and to extract tips from those who have made their millions buying abroad on Property Kings, all on Overseas Property TV.

Prior to all of this John was a regular panelist and creator of Daly’s Weekly – a weekly paper review on Channel Five’s The Wright Stuff and reporter/presenter, championing the causes of the consumer on the BBC1 Daytime show The Really Useful Show.

John has also been able to breathe fresh air on countryside shows, from The Countryside Hour and Langley Country on BBC2 to a 2007 pilot for a programme called Rural Retreats for BBC Daytime.
At one stage John seemed to be addicted to quiz shows. From his own creation, Class Distinction – The Schools Quiz with a difference, to putting his honours degree in education and business studies to good use on Big Crash and Bankraider. He has also appeared on The Heaven and Earth Show (BBC1), Loose Women (ITV1) and Noels House Party (BBC1). John has also been a regular regional presenter and network insert presenter on Children In Need since 2001 all the way through 2008.
