Where are the stars of Phoenix Nights now?

He is currently hosting Top Gear, while he often appears on shows with Keith Lemon.

Dave Spikey

Starring as Jerry St. Clair, Spikey’s character had more than his fair share of bad luck.

But in real life the comedian’s career has been more rosy – despite a feud with Peter Kay, who Spikey claimed had taken the credit for Phoenix Nights.
