Jon is the hugely popular host of the Broadcast Award winning show Brainiac: Science Abuse for Sky One. He looks at the fun side of everyday science, and gets behind the facts of scientific myths by carrying out experiments in “layman’s” terms. He is proving to be a massive hit with viewers and producers alike. Brainiac is in it’s fourth series and is one of Sky’s biggest shows.
Jon has proved an entertaining and natural TV presenter, regularly doing the TV review on Ri:se (Channel 4), appearing as a panellist on The Wright Stuff (Five), as a guest judge on Tomorrow’s World (BBC) and on Celebdaq (BBC3).
He is an avid Sci-Fi fan…a devotee to Star Wars and JRR Tolkien. In his spare time he loves all sports particularly Football, Rugby and Cricket and makes a point of going to as many games as possible. He is also a very good Hockey player, winning a European tournament in Holland with his team ‘Riders of the Night’!
Jon shot to fame as the quirky, intelligent and dry- witted contestant of Big Brother 4. By far one of the most popular housemates, he was actually voted back into the house by the public who wanted to see more of “The Tickle’!
He is eloquent, accessible, intelligent and great fun. He made his mark, and a legion of fans whilst in the house and is proving to be as good on the outside as he was in! He has a huge number of fan websites including Jon Tickle – The Legend.
He is very bright and very personable in a geeky way! He excelled at school in maths, sciences and English before going on to read Physics at University. He currently still enjoys his job as a Data Strategy Manager for Centrica (the parent company of British Gas) where he is responsible for strategising and small system development.
