Charles Ronald George Nall-Cain, 3rd Baron Brocket (born 12 February 1952), also known as Charlie Brocket, is a peer, business owner, television presenter and convicted criminal from the United Kingdom.

Biography

Brocket is the son of Hon Ronald Nall-Cain and Elizabeth Trotter. His father died when he was nine years old. Aged fifteen, he became the 3rd Baron Brocket on the death of his grandfather, Arthur Nall-Cain, 2nd Baron Brocket, also inheriting Brocket Hall in Hertfordshire.[1] The Hall was in a bad state of repair, and he has since converted it into a hotel and conference venue.[1][dead link] He still owns the hall through a trust which leases it to a German consortium. The lease will expire after fifty years.

An Old Etonian, Lord Brocket served in the 14th/20th King's Hussars as a Lieutenant in Germany.[2] He became known as a playboy and, in the 1980s and early 1990s, for his collection of classic cars, once owning forty-two Ferraris. He was convicted of insurance fraud in 1996 and sentenced to five years in prison, of which he served two and a half years.[3][1][4][5] In 2004, he was a contestant on the third series of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!. Finishing in fourth place, his new-found fame turned him into a popular TV celebrity, yielding almost £1 million in offers. His autobiography, Call Me Charlie, was published in hardback in September 2004, coming in the Top 10 Best Sellers list of that year.[citation needed] He hosted the ITV game show Scream! If You Want to Get Off, and presented Privates Exposed, a behind-the-scenes programme for Lads Army, on ITV2.

In 2007, he launched his own Brocket Hall Foods range of groceries.[6]

In 2017, Brocket was featured in an episode of "Can't pay? We'll take it away" (Season 5, Episode 15).[7]

Marriage

In 1982, he married former Vogue model Isabell Maria Lorenzo. They had three children. In 2006 he married Harriet Victoria Warren.[8] They had two children.
