I turned down Strictly, I’m A Celeb & Top Gear to focus on helping people – now I’m Netflix star reveals Dave Fishwick

DAVE FISHWICK’s new film is the fastest commissioned sequel in Netflix history thanks to the phenomenal success of his 2023 debut movie on the streamer. Bank Of Dave: The Loan Ranger, which drops today, charts the next round of real-life battles of crusading business buff.

But despite his spiralling fame off the back of his movies and Channel 4 TV series, Lancashire-born Dave is one of the most down-to-earth celebs I’ve ever met. He tells me: “I’ll have been chatting with someone really famous, or I’ll have spent a day with Netflix — and my wife Nicky grounds me immediately.

“I walk through the door and she’ll say, ‘Never mind all that nonsense. Is it corned beef or cottage pie for your tea?’ It brings me back down to earth.”. Laughing, he adds: “When I was at the Baftas, they brought round the champagne. “I’ve been nominated three times and won two, so I know what it’s all about at those things.

“The first time I went, I asked them, ‘Don’t you have any Carling or Foster’s going?’ And they kindly went and found a dusty old bottle of Grolsch. “I’m the first person in history to walk into the Baftas with a lager in my champagne glass.”.

And if you don’t already know Dave, you soon will. My insiders tell me he is nailed on for Strictly this autumn, after he was forced to pull out of last year’s show because of charity commitments, including the endless free talks he gives in schools to help inspire the next generation.
