Meet Dominic Littlewood

Having racked up 15 years' experience as a hard-nosed car dealer in the Eighties, Dominic came late to telly presenting. The debut of his big round friendly face (ignore the picture on the right!) came when Channel 4 called, looking for a mentor for their top job-swap show, Faking It. With the help of Dominic, West Country vicar the Reverend Nigel Done learnt all about the used-car trade before being let loose on a busy Essex forecourt. While this was not a classic episode, a star was born in the shape of Dominic.

Since then, Dominic has become a familiar face on our screens - and not just on motoring shows like Wrong Car, Right Car? His wheeler-dealer experience made him the perfect person to front the BBC's How I Made My Property Fortune, casting his entrepreneurial eye over property owners who've become millionaires, as well as appearing on top property buying show, To Buy Or Not To Buy.

Dom's next BBC show takes him even further away from the world of Frank Butcher and Swiss Toni. Alongside ex-criminal Mike Fraser, he'll be fronting Beat The Burglar - described as "a look at one of society's biggest concerns: home security." After Mike has broken into a viewer's property to show how rubbish their locks are - with them watching, of course - Dom and Mike then instigate a free security makeover to ensure it might never happen for real.

Now a busy man with a hectic media schedule, when Dom isn't writing his contributions to car and motoring magazines, he can also be found indulging his other passions around his native Thames Estuary: sailing and jet skiing.
