Ceallach Spellman
With a name meaning Bright Headed in Gaelic Ceallach - pronounced Kellak - Spellman's youthful looks ensured him the role of a fifteen year old schoolboy 'Matthew Williams' in the 2016 return of TV drama 'Cold Feet', even though he was actually twenty-one, born on 31st August 1995 to a family of Irish descent in Salford. Cel attended St Bede's Catholic college in Manchester but already by the age of seven he had began his career and trodden the boards at Manchester Palace theatre playing 'Chip' in 'Beauty and the Beast' and at the age of 11 went to London to the Sylvia Young Theatre school. Cel began on television as a child actor, in 'Blue Murder', where he went on to appear in 5 series, 'Holby City', 'The Cup', ITV's 'Homefront' and in 2010 appearing as a schoolboy in 2 series of BBC TV's BAFTA award winning 'Waterloo Road'. In 2015 he joined the cast of Russell T. Davies 'Cucumber' and the following year portrayed 'Matthew Williams' in Cold Feet, with series 8 set to come out in 2019. At the same time he began to carve out a substantial career as a presenter on BAFTA award winning 'Friday Download' and presenting a weekly pop chart show interviewing the likes of Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber. Cel currently presents his eponymous Sunday afternoon show for BBC Radio One. Away from acting Cel supports and works for WWF, UNICEF, is an ambassador for children's charity Once Upon a Smile and a president of The Young Peoples Trust for the Environment.
