John has also starred as Dan Lewis in Doctor Who. In October 2022 he was a guest judge on ITV’s Masked Dancer. John has hosted a podcast called Three Little Words with fellow actor Tony Pitts since 2020. John is happily married to his wife Melanie Bishop. The pair split in 2000 for 18 months, which is when John started his comedy career. They reunited after she turned up to one of his gigs and heard him telling jokes about her.The pair have three sons: Joe (born 1994), Luke (born 1996), and Daniel (born 1998). John has a family home based in Northwich, Cheshire. In May 2018, John revealed he is “massively proud” of his sons. He said in his acceptance speech for the Celebrity Ally Award at the British LGBT Awards: “Like all parents we have problems with them. “One of my sons has a tattoo on his ankle that was meant to be Africa but looks like Australia, one of my sons mumbles and one of my sons is a gay man.” John’s eldest son Joe was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition called Cogans Syndrome, that has led to the deterioration of his hearing and progressive deafness.
