Radio career

In September 1997, Belfield was part of the launch team of Radio 106 where he began his professional career. In 1999, he was offered a six-month contract working Nairobi, Kenya presenting 'Belfield at Breakfast' at 98.4 Capital FM. He then returned to the UK to rejoin Century 106 for a third year working on the breakfast show.

In September 2001 he formally began his career as a talk/personality radio host when he joined BBC Radio Leicester and served as a presenter and producer for 18 months. Belfield then moved to Mansfield 103.2 FM in January 2004 to present Belfield's Lunchtime Mega Phone-in. At Mansfield 103.2, he established a reputation for developing a series of high-profile publicity stunts, the first one of which involved Belfield pretending to be fired live on air by Mansfield 103.2 managing director Tony Delahunty, and then reappearing the following day.

Ken Dodd

Kenneth Arthur "Ken" Dodd, OBE (born 8 November 1927) is an English comedian, singer-songwriter and actor, identified by his trademark unruly hair and protruding teeth, his red, white and blue "tickling stick" and his famous, upbeat greeting of "How tickled I am!". He also created the world and characters of the Diddy Men, with 'diddy' being Liverpudlian slang for small.

He works mainly in the music hall tradition, although, in the past, has occasionally appeared in drama, including as Malvolio in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night on stage in Liverpool in 1971; on television in the cameo role of 'The Tollmaster' in the 1987 Doctor Who story Delta and the Bannermen; and as Yorick (in silent flashback) in Kenneth Branagh's film version of Shakespeare's Hamlet in 1996. In the 1960s his fame in the UK was such that he rivalled the Beatles as a household name, with his recording of "Tears" being the UK's third best selling single of the 1960s. His records have sold millions worldwide. As of 2016 he continues to tour with his comedy and music show.
