Graham Bell was born in 1966 on the Akrotiri Royal Air Force station in Cyprus, the son of pilot Rod Bell and teacher Jean Bell. His passion for skiing began at age five when his family moved to Edinburgh, Scotland, where he learned to ski in the Cairngorm Mountains and at Hillend dry slope. Alongside his brother Martin, Graham went on to compete for Great Britain throughout the 1980s and 1990s, marking the beginning of a distinguished athletic career. He represented Great Britain in five Winter Olympics, starting with Sarajevo in 1984, showcasing his dedication and talent on the international stage.
After retiring from professional ski racing in 1998, Bell began a career in television. He worked as a commentator for Eurosport, covering the World Cup Ski Circuit, before moving to “Ski Sunday” in an in-vision role. His television career expanded to include presenting and commentating on multiple Winter Olympics (2002, 2006, 2010, 2014) and various other sports programs, including the BBC’s World Championship Series triathlon coverage and segments for the Tour de France on ITV. Beyond sports, Bell has appeared on lifestyle and entertainment shows such as “The Gadget Show,” “Through the Keyhole,” “Celebrity Eggheads,” “Market Kitchen,” “Ready Steady Cook,” and travel series like “Wish You Were Here.” He maintains an active lifestyle, participating in triathlon competitions and mountain biking events, and recently competed in “Dancing on Ice” in 2021.
Bell’s achievements extend beyond his athletic and television roles. He set a personal best top speed on skis of 121 mph (195 km/h) and, in January 2017, achieved a World Record for towed speed skiing, reaching 189.07 km/h behind a Jaguar F-Pace in Sweden. He has also undertaken adventurous feats, such as the Arctic Circle Race, a 160-mile cross-country skiing race in Greenland, and surviving a night in a snow-hole. Graham is a patron of several UK charities, including DisabilitySnowsportUK and Snow Camp, demonstrating his commitment to broader community engagement. He is married to Sarah and has two children, Louis and Lottie, who also share his love for skiing.
