About Me

I'm Hywel from South Wales, I'm into all sorts. I like travelling, pub quizzes, walking, bike riding, reading and watching films. I have 3 pets Netherland dwarf rabbits, they are awesome. I'm planning to walk the entire 620miles of the South West Coast Path at the end of this year/early next year.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like rock music; Muse, Radiohead, Foo Fighters, Brand New, Jimmy Eat World etc.

Not sure I have a favourite film, I love 28 days later, Fight Club, The Prestige, but also older films like The Wickerman, and some vintage horror films, trying to get into Hitchcock atm. Love Tarantino, always try to catch his films when they come out in the cinema.

I like Irvine Welsh and Chuck Palahniuk books, but also classics like George Orwell and John Wyndham. I read lots of travelling books from the library too. Reading a bunch of books about the South West Coast Path atm and can't wait to get out on the path myself!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been on a couple of UK game shows. That's my claim to fame really, I've been on Pointless, The Chase, 15-1, Tipping Point and Cash Trapped. It's a bit of a hobby and I enjoy it. I'm always looking to get on the next show!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Local knowledge, I love showing off my area and being a bit of a tour guide. I have a spare bed, the sofa is a bit uncomfortable.

I can teach you a bit of Welsh (swearwords are usually the first thing people want to learn!)

I can regale you of tales of the TV shows and which daytime TV quizshow hosts are not nice in real life!
