Dick & Dom star Dominic Wood shocks with very different career 18 years after hit children’s show
Share:
He may be best known for presenting the beloved series Dick & Dom in da Bungalow, but nearly 20 years after it ended, Dominic Wood has now picked up new fans in an entirely unexpected way. The entertainer, magician and presenter first came to public prominence presenting ‘the broom cupboard’ presentation links on CBBC in the 1990s and early 2000s with his co-star Richard ‘Dick’ McCourt.
The pair then went on to host their award-winning children’s entertainment show, where they’d challenge kids to undertake games to win prizes like TVs and game consoles to less desirable ones like a hubcap or bottled water. Between the games, the show also aired various cartoons.

Running for five seasons, it eventually came to an end in 2006. Although Dominic worked on BBC Radio One after the TV series ended and they went on to front Absolute Genius with Dick and Dom in 2013, he’s rarely been seen on screens since then. However, he’s now instead made a name for himself as a handyman online, amassing over 270,000 followers on TikTok and over 220,000 on Instagram.

Posting under the handle @the+houseofwood, Dom regularly shares clips as he undertakes a home renovation project. It all began nearly four years ago when Dom and his wife Sandi (who was part of the pop band allSTARS*) purchased a 1930s property in Surrey for their young family.
