Meet Will Shanahan
Ground Force stomps on in the safe hands of new presenter Will Shanahan. To find out more about him, read on...
Most people will remember Will for his trademark long, curly hair which was cut off a few years ago for no other reason than him being sick of washing it!
A builder by trade, Will first met Tommy Walsh over eight years ago through a house renovation and the rest as they say is history! When Ground Force was first mentioned to Tommy, Will put himself forward as Tommy's mate and ever since, their on and off screen antics as friends and colleagues has seen them forge a great friendship.
Irishman Will grew up in a huge family, five brothers and eight sisters and he now lives in London with his wife Marian and their two children.
Will is a huge football fan, a devoted follower of Manchester United, enjoys horse racing and reading suspense novels.
For Will, like Kirsty, one of the main highlights of working on Ground Force was when the team went to South Africa in 1999 to makeover Nelson Mandela's garden
"Just meeting him was a thrill in itself," says Will.
