Paul Ballard (born 9 March 1982 in Essex, England) is an English television presenter and stage actor best known by his nickname 'Des' as the co-presenter, along with Fearne Cotton, of the Saturday morning children's television programme ''Diggit'' from 1998 until 2002. Ballard made his TV debut in 1995, playing a trick or treater who beat up Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson ''Bottom'' episode "Terror". He was next seen as co-presenter of the ''Disney Club'' in the mid 1990s. After a change in the show's format, he presented a new Sunday morning slot called ''Roadhog'' where he would take a Volkswagen Camper Van, decorated with ears and orange spots, on the road to viewers homes and schools. He appeared on a one off Daz washing powder TV advertisement, with his big sister. It featured him winning something out of a toy grabbing machine, and his mother criticising him for wasting money. He also continued his association with the ''Disney Club'' which too had changed format and was now presented by Craig Doyle, the twins, Sam and Matt and Reggie Yates (known as Robbie on Disney Club) between 1995-1998. In April 1998, Ballard and Fearne Cotton launched a new interactive Disney slot as part of GMTV called ''Diggit''. He continued with the show through until 2002 with a number of co-presenters including Jack Stratton, winner of a second nationwide search for a new presenter in December 1998, and Laura Jaye and Victoria Hickson, who replaced Fearne Cotton in 2001. Ballard also starred as Smee in a stage production of ''Peter Pan'' at the Central Theatre in Kent in 2001. He left ''Diggit'' in 2002 shortly before its relaunch into ''Diggin' It''. == References == * (Cast and Crew for Bottom 'Terror' ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paul 'Des' Ballard」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
