Reality TV career

Otway has said himself he sees him as a singer rather than an actor.Fact|date=February 2007 He performed as Richard Marx on Celebrity "Stars in Their Eyes" and won the competition, and in 2006 did extremely well in the television competition "Soapstar Superstar" due to his large fanbase with £45,000 being made from his votelines.

This culminated in a rather amusing outburst in the beach hut causing thousands of pounds worth of damage. The reason for his outburst was that he had "invested feelings" in Colleen thus making him say "I feel awful". .

A keen charity supporter, he recently ran a mile for Sport Relief.

Shared a flat with Chris Brosnan, son of James Bond actor Pierce.
