Timmy Mallett is best known for whacking TV contestants over the head with an inflatable mallet, but the TV star has now reinvented himself and has accrued tens of thousands of fans in the process. The former children's TV presenter has hung up his mallet but you may pass him on the street.
That's because Timmy has moved away from the TV spotlight and instead cycles around Britain armed with pencils and paintbrushes. His plan is usually fairly vague, he then plots a rough cycle route and sets off with his acrylics and watercolours.
His painting tours have proved popular with a host of fans online. After posting his first TikTok video in November 2019, he has now amassed a fan base of 66,000 people.
