Lee Mack is one of the UK’s fastest and beloved comedies, known for his panel shows Would I Lie To You? and Duck Quacks Don’t Echo. The latest series of his hit sitcom Not Going Out is arriving on our TV screens this Friday, March 25.
And while he is a household name thanks to those primetime shows, Lee 'Mack' isn't his real name - it's his stage name. The Southport-born comic, who first came to prominence at the 1995 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, was born Lee McKillop.
He also had an interesting first job before hitting the comedy circuit - mucking out for the famous racehorse Red Rum, the three-time Grand National winner. Mack got the job after being in a desperate situation after dropping out of his college due to failing his O-Levels.
