Available in:
For the ice hockey player, see Justin Fletcher (ice hockey).
Justin Fletcher, MBE (born 15 June 1970 in Reading, Berkshire) is an English children's television personality in the United Kingdom.
Fletcher is most associated as a presenter and actor on the BBC pre-school television channel CBeebies, speaking and performing in various, often self-created, roles.
Biography:
Born in Reading, Berkshire, he is the son of songwriter Guy Fletcher, best known for writing songs for Elvis Presley, Cliff Richard, Ray Charles, Frankie Valli and many others. Justin has 1 brother and 3 sisters. Justin is also a die hard Manchester City fan. On Justin's House (Episode 9 of 25 - "Just the Part") he has mentioned his mother's name as being Sheila.
Career:
While studying drama at the Guildford School of Acting, in his final year he started to watch regularly Phillip Schofield in the BBC1 broom cupboard with Gordon the Gopher, and decided that a career in children's television was for him.
Having sketched out various comedic characters, he put together a show reel called Justin Time, which encompassed two different characters: Anna Conda, a myopic reptile house warden; and Arthur Sleep, a regional newsreader who has difficulty staying awake and can sleep anywhere no matter what. Both characters would later be used for his CBeebies show Gigglebiz. Sent to various broadcasters and production companies his first show after graduation was Fun Song Factory for CITV, working with Dave Benson Philips.
BBC and CBeebies:
He then did a tour, playing Mr Jolly in Playdays for 2 years, his first work for the BBC. He then became part of the Tikkabilla programme, when he knew he was happy with his career choice.
From Tikkabilla was spun out Higgledy House, a slapstick comedy for children with Sarah-Jane Honeywell, which progressed to the very popular Mr Tumble. Justin Fletcher has also voiced the characters of Doodles and Jake in Tweenies, Miguel in Finley the Fire Engine, Sleeping Bear and Growling Tiger in CBeebies' Boo!, with additional voices in Todd World, Shaun the Sheep and Timmy Time. In 2006 Fletcher became a presenter on CBeebies but left in 2007, returning in 2012 to fill in for Andy Day while he was working on a TV series called Andy's wild Adventures.
Through his own production company, Fletcher developed Something Special, which he presents while signing in Makaton, a type of sign language. In November 2008, CBeebies aired 3 different pilots made by Fletcher, with the possibility of one of them becoming a full-time series. They were called Humphrey the Painter, Gigglebiz and Captain Adorable. In January 2009, an announcement by CBeebies was made that Gigglebiz would become the regular show, starting in September 2009, with the Humphrey and Captain Adorable characters being included, which was now a series of character-based comedy sketches linked by jokes told by children.
His voice over work for CBBC includes voicing Harold from Thomas the Tank Engine, which he has performed on BBC Radio 4, arena tour and pantomime. Fletcher is a relief continuity presenter for CBeebies' presentation links, the voice of Chubba on BB3B, and regularly performed on the CBeebies radio station on BBC Radio 7 until its change to BBC Radio 4 Extra in 2011.
Justin also appears as himself along with a range of animated characters in the 'bee bright' series of award-winning educational DVDs.
Justin appears in a show called Jollywobbles, which started on BBC2 on Monday 9 August 2010.
Justin also occasionally appears in a show called The Hollies School.
Justin's House:
In October 2011, CBeebies began broadcasting "Justin's House" starring Justin with Steve Kynman as "Robert The Robot" and Jane Deane as "Dee Livery". The show is based in Justin's fictional house, and recorded live in front of a studio audience at The Studios, MediaCityUK, operated by Media City Studios Limited. The show was later renewed for a second series, with some changes - including having a party theme, dropping Dee Livery, and some set redesign.

Awards:
Orders of Chivalry:
3,575 people signed a petition calling on the then Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, to give Justin an OBE.
The petition states: "Justin Fletcher is a communication genius. He both entertains and educates our children and does this with intelligence and panache 'without patronising'. Programmes like Something Special can only help bridge the gap that sometimes sadly appears between able and not so able bodied people in our society and help banish the unkindness that disabled people sometimes face due to ignorance."
The public were asked to vote on the Prime Minister's website, and the petition deadline passed on 20 September 2007.
He was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2008 Birthday Honours for services to "children's broadcasting and the voluntary sector".
