Philip Clive Roderick Tufnell (born 29 April 1966) is a former English international cricketer and current television and radio personality.

Following his retirement from playing cricket in 2002, Tufnell has built on his popularity with several television appearances, including They Think It's All Over, A Question of Sport, Strictly Come Dancing,[2] and winning I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!

[7] According to Michael Parkinson, a chat show host and cricketer, "at the age of nine he was opening the bowling and the batting for his club's junior team".

Parkinson also believes that his "ordinary fielding made him a luxury in the view of the ... [English cricket] management [circa August 1996]".

[8] He was not at all an accomplished or confident batsman, often appearing particularly nervous and awkward at Test level, where he became regarded as the ultimate 'rabbit' number 11, Tufnell's fielding improved during his career.

Tufnell retired from professional cricket before the 2003 season in order to participate in the second series of the reality television show I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!

In 2004, he made two guest appearances on British soap opera Family Affairs and co-presented the ITV game show Simply the Best with Kirsty Gallacher.

[15] On 7 October 2011, he appeared on the BBC One panel show Would I Lie To You?, where he claimed to have recurring dreams in which he is a potato, being chased by a pitchfork.

[18] In December 2018, he joined Australia's Seven Network as a guest commentator for their coverage of the BBL and Sri Lankan Test matches.

[21] Tufnell's personal life hit the headlines in 1994 when he was fined £800 after admitting assaulting McElvoy, after she ended their relationship.

[22][23] In 1997, while on a tour of New Zealand, allegations emerged that he left a toilet cubicle of a restaurant trailing the scent of cannabis but he was exonerated with the incident being a publicity stunt.
