TEES
Celebri
From comedy to music , acting to art , sport to TV , a whole host of famous names were born , raised or have chosen to live in the Tees region .
And these celebs have one thing in common – their passion for all things Teesside .
SARA DAVIES MBE , business mogul and Dragons ’ Den star I would never consider leaving Teesside . This is my home and I could not be more proud to be from this region John . The Walker majority . of my staff are based here and creating jobs for people in the region is something I ’ m so proud of .
BOB MORTIMER , comedian and TV personality I have so many fond memories of the place , especially the people with their distinctive , dry sense of humour . It was only a 10- to 15-minute bike ride to the beautiful countryside of the Cleveland Hills , Roseberry Topping and Great Ayton . It ’ s an often overlooked part of the countryside but it ’ s gorgeous . I feel lucky to have grown up there .
