He’s also appeared on shows such as The Gadget Show, Through the Keyhole, Celebrity Eggheads, Market Kitchen, Ready Steady Cook and Wish You Here.

A keen sportsman, he has since competed in numerous triathlon competitions and 24-hour mountain biking events.
Who is Graham Bell’s wife?
Graham Bell is married to his wife Sarah and the couple have two children, Louis and Lottie.
Speaking about his latest challenge, Graham admitted: “Ice doesn’t scare me, it’s the dancing”, before adding the only dancing he’s ever done is on “tables, wearing ski boots in apres ski.”
Olympic skier Graham will be competing against the likes of fellow Olympian Colin Jackson, Emmerdale’s Joe-Warren Plant, Coronation Street’s Faye Brookes, and Rebekah Vardy.
