Neil Sean is often referred to as "The showbiz oracle". As well as being the man behind NEIL SEAN'S STAR GOSSIP, which is featured almost every hour on the new Star Radio and appearing LIVE every weekday on STAR BREAKFAST, Neil is also the royal correspondent for Fox News. He divides his time between London and New York so there literally isn't a celebrity bash that our Neil's not at!
Previously he was the showbiz correspondent for Sky News. You'll also find him presenting 4 shows a week for The Biography Channel.
Neil started his career aged just 6 at the Blackpool Summer season of Cilla Black as his father was a Northern comic. He then spent every summer season up and down the country appearing with the likes of Tommy Cooper, Les Dawson and Dick Emery.
His amazing singing voice was thanks to training from his Opera singing mother and he went on to perform at hundred's of working men' clubs from the ages of 11 to 18 .
Stints in various West End shows followed, but it was while working on ‘Copacabana' that the course of his career changed as Barry Manilow recommended him to Pete Waterman. The result led to Neil being the ghost singer on many Stock Aitken and Waterman hit records!
While bored in the studio Neil would then help out with the PR making the chart records a success with his outlandish news stories- which led him into meeting Simon Cowell and Neil became the voice on the Robson & Jerome hit singles.
