Timmy Mallett marked his 70th birthday over the weekend, receiving praise from fans who noted his youthful appearance compared to his heyday entertaining children on television forty years ago. Known for his quirky humor and signature inflatable mallet antics, he was a prominent figure in 1980s TV and radio.
In recent years, Mallett has shifted away from the spotlight, focusing on his artwork and sharing cycling adventures across the UK and supporting his favorite football team, Maidenhead United. He enjoys spending time with friends, including fellow TV personality Michaela Strachan, who recently showered him with birthday love on Instagram.
Mallett’s wife, Lynda Bingham, whom he married in 1990, shared insights into their life together, dispelling the notion that Mallett is always as jovial as his public persona. Despite occasional moments of irritability, Lynda humorously revealed that feeding him cake is the key to keeping him happy.
Addressing speculation about a potential TV comeback, Mallett expressed disinterest, preferring to explore new avenues. With a substantial following on TikTok, he remains active creatively but does not feel compelled to return to television.
