Kevin Woodford (born Birth date|1950|6|4|df=y in Douglas, Isle of Man) is an British TV chef and actor he originally trained as a chef in some of Europe's finest restaurants, then moved into education as a lecturer in professional cookery. After gaining a higher degree in the Management of Organisations he returned to education as an Assistant Principal of one of the UK's most prestigious Colleges of Higher Education with responsibility for the management of resources.

His first TV appearance was on "This Morning", and this was followed by him presenting Surprise Chefs for ITV. He then became a regular chef on the BBC cookery show, "Ready Steady Cook", as well as presenting "Can't Cook, Won't Cook" for which he won a National Television Award for Best Daytime Presenter. More recently, he presented and co-produced the CBBC cookery show, 'Planet Cook' which has been a resounding hit in Australia.

He has also presented "Songs of Praise" and the live magazine show "The Heaven and Earth Show".

He proved himself to be a competent actor when he played the roles of Robert Hale in "Doctors" and Watkins in "Hollyoaks". He travelled the world as Jill Dando's co-presenter on BBC Summer Holiday and Presenter for BBC's Holiday programme for 5 years.

For BBC's acclaimed 'Fasten your Seatbelt' series he demonstrated his ability as a New York taxi driver, entertainer on board 'Oriana', deck hand on a tall ship, and concierge at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Hong Kong.

He presented "Big Kevin, Little Kevin" for the BBC and is the only chef in Europe to have had his own recipes used on a set of British postage stamps.

He used to own a restaurant in Douglas on the Isle of Man and is currently developing a small boutique hotel on the Island called Birchfield House.
