For fans of EastEnders, he can often be seen each week after the “boom, boom, booms”, popping up on the side of the television screen presenting the regional 8pm news bulletins on BBC One.
Jez is no stranger to hosting and compering events, from welcoming the arrival of the Olympic torch in front of a crowd of 40,000 people in Cambridge, to launching the wonderful Soham-based charity, the Liam Fairhurst Foundation at Downing Street.
A local charity close to his heart, and one which has thrived thanks to the generosity of local businesses.
