Early life and career beginnings

Richie was born on 11 March 1964 at St Mary Abbots Hospital in Kensington, London [4] to Irish parents. [5] He attended Willesden High School [6] and was a member of a youth theatre as a child, and began his professional career in adolescence as a bluecoat entertainer at a Pontins holiday camp Little Canada, on the Isle of Wight. He progressed to the live stand up circuit, receiving a nomination for best new stand-up at the inaugural British Comedy Awards.

In 1989, Richie made nightly appearances for Sky TV's chat show series Jameson Tonight, which was hosted by Derek Jameson and Richie and recorded at the Windmill Theatre, London. In 1990, Richie made his first terrestrial television appearances as one of the comics on the BBC One sketch show Up to Something! with Suzy Aitchison, David Schneider, Frances Dodge, Mike Hayley and Lewis MacLeod; however, the show was axed after one series. Richie was one of five comics, along with Maddi Cryer, Annette Law, George Marshall and Billy Pearce.

Richie later branched out into hosting game shows after proving successful as host of the children's quiz show Run the Risk , which was played during the BBC Saturday morning show Going Live! . He moved into mainstream presenting with Caught in the Act, Win, Lose or Draw , The Shane Richie Experience (later revamped as Love Me Do) and Lucky Numbers . He also replaced Danny Baker in the 'doorstep challenge' TV ads for Daz detergent; he had previously replaced Baker as host of Win, Lose or Draw. In the 2012 Christmas episode of The Sarah Millican Television Programme , Richie said that Daz gave him so much money for doing the adverts that he would have "snorted the stuff" if they had asked him.[ citation needed ]

In the spin-off, Kat and Alfie Moon visited Ireland as they put their past behind them.
