Kids TV star Timmy Mallett coming to Leeds - and you can meet him

Children's TV presenter Timmy Mallett is coming to Leeds this month as part of a UK tour.

Timmy, 64, shot to fame in the 80s as the face of TV-am shows such as the Wide Awake Club and Wacaday.

The TV star, who is well-known for wearing loud shirts and carrying around his big, pink foam 'Mallett's Mallet', has also appeared in ITV's I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!

In recent years however, he has switched his attention to art and has won multiple awards for his oil and acrylic paintings.

Fans can meet Timmy at Smart Gallery in Chapel Allerton where he will be showcasing his latest work alongside his new book Utterly Brilliant.

The meet and greet will take place between 11am and 2pm on Saturday, March 21. Visit the Smart Gallery website for more information.
