Marcus Bentley
Marcus Bentley
Narrator, Big Brother, 2000-present
Narrator, Big Brother Diary Room Uncut, 2004-present

Marcus is a 40-year-old voiceover artist. He was born in Gateshead and brought up in Stockton-on-Tees, and has a very deep 'Geordie' accent, which makes him one of the most instantly reconisable voiceover artists on British television.

He became a continuity announcer for Channel 4 in the late 1990's. In 2000, he was given the job of narrating Big Brother highlights. He was chosen because the producers liked the way he says 'chickens'. He has narrated every single series of the show since.

Other credits include Sky One gameshow Dirty Money, which he hosted by voiceover. He is also an actor, and has had bit parts in The Bill and London's Burning.
