Ben Richards (born 27 March 1972, in Rustington, Sussex) is an English actor. He is best known for playing Bruno Milligan in series 4 and 5 of the British TV drama Footballers' Wives and in series 1 and 2 of its spin-off Footballers' Wives: Extra Time. He also appeared in the final ever mini-episode of Footballers' Wives shown on 17 July 2006 as part of Sport Relief night.
In 2006 he became a judge on Strictly Dance Fever, hosted by Graham Norton. He was alongside choreographers Stacey Haynes, Arlene Phillips and Wayne Sleep. He appeared in Holby City in 2006, as physiotherapist Justin Fuller. He also appeared on Stars in their Eyes as Ricky Martin.
At the start of 2007 Richards joined ITV drama The Bill as PC Nate Roberts.[1] He appeared with his family on All Star Family Fortunes on 8 December 2007. It was revealed on the show that Ben had previously released a single to the UK charts, and it was played on the show, much to Richards' embarrassment. He has also appeared on Loose Women several times.
He assumed the role of Tick (Mitzi) from Jason Donovan in Priscilla Queen of the Desert – the Musical since 1 June 2010.[2]
