David Van Day is an English singer and media personality, formerly a member of the pop duo Dollar. He was also a member of the 1970s vocal group Guys 'n' Dolls (along with his Dollar partner Thereza Bazar), and a latter-day version of Bucks Fizz.

In 2003, as part of Dollar, he was the first act voted off ITV1 reality show Reborn in the USA. He caused controversy during the show, accusing producers of biased editing[1] and arguing with Liverpudlian singer Sonia Evans,[2] accusing her of "being crafty and cunning to try to save her own skin".[3]

In 2008 Van Day was a semi-finalist on the eighth series of British reality television show I'm a Celebrity... Get Me out of Here! (Series 8 UK),[4] finishing in fourth place. During his time in the jungle he clashed with glamour model Nicola McLean.[5]

Before going into I'm a Celebrity Van Day underwent plastic surgery in a Living TV documentary called Pop Goes The Band, in which he featured with popstar partner Thereza Bazar.[citation needed]

Van Day hosted the eleven-part reality series Brides on a Bus on Wedding TV.[6] He also briefly appeared in the series Celebrity Coach Trip on Channel 4.

Politics

In May 2007, Van Day stood as a Conservative candidate for Brighton & Hove city council in the East Brighton ward but neither he or the other two Conservative candidates were successful in gaining a seat.[7]

Personal life

Van Day was involved in a relationship with Dollar co-star Thereza Bazar for several years in the 1970s.[citation needed] The relationship ended in the early 1980s, and Van Day later married a model called Maria. The couple have since divorced but have two daughters, Olivia and Amber.[citation needed] After having infamously dumped her on the Channel 5 TV show The Wright Stuff,[8] Van Day married beauty editor for The Sun, Sue Moxley in Orsett, Essex on 21 February 2010[9]
