Ceallach Spellman movie list
With a name meaning Bright Headed in Gaelic Ceallach - pronounced Kellak - Spellman's youthful looks ensured him the role of a fifteen year old schoolboy 'Matthew Williams' in the 2016 return of TV drama 'Cold Feet', even though he was actually twenty-one, born on 31st August 1995 to a family of Irish descent in Salford. Cel attended St Bede's Catholic college in Manchester but already by the age of seven he had began his career and trodden the boards at Manchester Palace theatre playing 'Chip' in 'Beauty and the Beast' and at the age of 11 went to London to the Sylvia Young Theatre school.

In 2015 he joined the cast of Russell T. Davies 'Cucumber' and the following year portrayed 'Matthew Williams' in Cold Feet, with series 8 set to come out in 2019.

Cel currently presents his eponymous Sunday afternoon show for BBC Radio One.
