Biography

Entertainment career

He began his entertainment career on cruise ships, as a singer and comedian. In 1997, he presented the programme On the Ball and presented a daytime quiz show on ITV, called Waffle in 1998, and also teamed up with Lisa Rogers to present the show Grudge Match from 1999 to 2000. He stands at 6' 6" as is his brother Simon.

Also in 2000, Weir became Roy Walker's successor of the popular TV game show Catchphrase. During his first series, he broke his foot (by falling down the stairs as he made his entrance to the studio floor) during a recording of the show. This incident was edited out but was shown in a later show to explain why he was suddenly in a cast and on crutches. He continued to present Catchphrase while his foot healed, wearing a trademark cast throughout many episodes of the show.

Between December 2001 and January 2002, he appeared in the play Aladdin as the character of the same name in The Hexagon in Reading, Berkshire.

He presented Catchphrase until 2002, following which, the show moved to daytime and former Blue Peter presenter Mark Curry hosted the show for the final series in 2002.

He is currently the Cruise Director on board the Celebrity Eclipse, Celebrity Cruises newest Solstice Class ship. He also lives in Las Vegas.
