About the Artist

Ben Fogle was born in 1973, the son of actress Julia Foster and broadcast vet Bruce Fogle. Educated at Bryanston School in Dorset, Ben went on to study Latin American Studies at the University of Costa Rica and University of Portsmouth.

In 2000 Ben volunteered to be marooned on Taransay in the Outer Hebrides as part of the BBC's big millennium project Castaway 2000. Ben has since presented numerous programmes including the BBC's Animal Park, Countryfile, Wild in Africa, Crufts, One Man and His Dog, Holiday, and Extreme Dreams. He is also a published author.

Ben has completed the Marathon Des Sables, a 160 mile, six-day race across the Sahara Desert. He has also rowed across the Atlantic Ocean with Olympic athlete James Cracknell, in a record breaking 49 days.
