A natural born performer, Phillips got the showbiz bug when he was working as an usher at a Children’s theatre, which led him to pursue work as a children’s entertainer and party performer. After gaining some experience, Phillips went on to sign a contract with Pontins and Haven Holidays as a children’s holiday rep, bringing all his fun to the stage.
