Biography.
Having fully established himself as one of the safestest and funniest pair of hands in television, Joel Dommett has become a firm fixture on TV in the last few years. He became known to many people through his successful stint on I’m a Celebrity, and gained thousands of fans due to his unique brand of humour and his lovable personality while on the show; so many that he went on to finish second.
After his hugely successful time in the jungle, he took over the hosting of ITV2’s spin-off show I’m a Celebrity: Extra Camp alongside Scarlett Moffatt. Joel went on to star on Channel 4’s Comedy Gala and the BBC’s Live at the Apollo, becoming a regular face on our screens. He went on to film a special for Netflix which was filmed at Montreal Comedy festival.
Joel is quickly cementing himself as one of Britain’s regularly featured presenters; he has been the front man of Saturday night smash-hit The Masked Singer since 2020 for five hugely successful series, where it has seen viewing figures of 10 million. He presented The Masked Dancer spin-off and hosted the The Masked Singer Live in arenas around the country. Also on ITV, Joel hosts the hugely popular tea time quiz show In With a Shout, which will see a second series air later this year. In 2023 Joel hosted the newly commissioned reboot of Survivor on BBC One, which saw him put 16 contestants to the test in the Dominican Republic in what many say is the toughest show on TV. The same year he also hosted Comic relief on BBC One for the first time.
Amongst touring his live stand-up show across the UK, Joel released his first book It’s Not Me, It’s Them in 2018, which recounts his past relationships in pursuit of love. Alongside Hannah Cooper, he co-hosts a podcast, Never Have I Ever, which sees the married couple act on unusual suggestions from listeners and each other, to experience something they’ve never done before.
In 2021, he took the helm of the National Television Awards at The O2 in London, which he will be hosting again in September.
