Biography

Despite my French surname, Becque (pronounced Beck) I was born in Dover, England. I have been on stage since the age of 10, performed in London and travelled Europe in various productions for the National Youth Theatre, and studied my craft professionally by working for a local Repertory Theatre Company.

In 1986, I headed for the Caribbean to work for Costa Cruises as an entertainer and cruise staff member, very much like being a "Red Coat" at sea. This experience rocked my world! The passengers clearly enjoyed my enthusiastic personality, which also made me a big hit with the crew. After completing a 2-year apprenticeship, at just 22, I became the youngest Cruise Director in the world.

After 6 amazing years at sea, I took my webbed-feet ashore and moved to Los Angeles, to study at the American Academy of Dramatic Art. After graduating, I appeared in various theatre productions, including a six-month run of "Wuthering Heights" and August Strindberg's "Miss Julie" whilst working on two projects for Universal Studios. I loved every minute of it and return to LA whenever possible.

In 1996, when my US visa expired, I returned to the UK before flying to Greece to troubleshoot a new shipping project for Renaissance Cruises. My newly acquired "Hollywood education" enabled me to take my entertainment career at sea to new heights and I soon achieved unprecedented results for four cruise lines. I was challenged by new and longer itineraries, which culminated in a 60-day circumnavigation of South America aboard the well respected classic liner, Stella Solaris.

These successes lead to a contract aboard the Seawing for Sun Cruises owned by Airtours. It was only a small ship with 800 passengers, but the entire crew were dedicated to success and the entertainment package was amazing when you consider the restrictive budget. The passengers loved the ship, crew, entertainment, deck parties, food and itineraries, ensuring a good time for all. It was hear that I met my wife.

Two years later, whilst cruising the Far East, I received an invitation to meet with Cunard’s Head of Entertainment, Martin Lilly. After visiting Miami I became Cruise Director aboard the world's most famous ocean liners; the QE2 and the Queen Mary 2 during her inaugural year. It was here that I achieved the pinnacle of my career at sea, working with the finest entertainers and facilities in the industry.

After 18 years of global adventure, having found myself at the very top of my field, I retired from the world of cruising to enjoy a new arena of challenges in television.

In 2005, after appearances on NTL, itv and Sky, I joined the award winning team at Sit-up Channels and began presenting five days a week on Bid tv, a fast, fun and interactive shopping channel. As a full time presenter, offering more than 17 hours of live television each week, I have generated more than 3,000 hours of live tv and sold thousands of products. I love my job. I mean, I LOVE IT!!! And if you ever watch, you'll probably be able to tell, because I'm often informed that my enthusiasm is contagious!
