TTA Awards 2026 will celebrate the tiling industry with a gala evening on 5 June at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole. The event will be hosted by professional actor and comedian Bobby Davro.
Bobby Davro made his TV debut in 1981, but his major breakthrough came with an appearance on Live at Her Majesty’s in 1983. This led to his own prime-time Saturday night television shows ‘Bobby Davro on The Box‘, ‘Bobby’s Sketch Pad‘ and ‘TV Weekly‘, which immediately topped the ratings for six consecutive years and made Bobby a household name throughout the country. He famously played Vinnie Monks in BBC soap EastEnders between 2007 and 2008, starring in an impressive 66 episodes.
Bobby is also well known as an impressionist, in 2013 appearing in Your Face Sounds Familiar. Over the past decade, he has been given a host of stage roles in popular pantos and shows, including Aladdin, Jack and the Beanstalk, Cinderella, Robin Hood and the Wizard of Oz.
