A total of six biographical entries, one pattern: the official record is consistent on career milestones but thin on finances and current relationships.

The table confirms standard biographical detail, but the gaps in financial and relationship data mirror the wider public record.
How old is Angellica Bell?
Angellica Bell was born on 24 March 1976, according to Wikipedia and The Sun. That makes her 48 or 49 as of early 2025. IMDb lists her birth year as 1975, but no other credible source backs that date – likely a database error.
What ethnicity is Angellica Bell?
Bell is British. Her father, Julian Bell, is a Labour politician and former leader of Ealing Council, as reported by The Sun. She was raised and educated in Ealing, West London.
How rich is Angellica Bell?
Her net worth is not publicly disclosed. Estimates from unverified sources range widely, but no official financial documents or confirmed statements exist. The public profile of a Bafta-nominated presenter with consistent TV and radio work suggests a comfortable income, but exact figures remain speculation.
How many children does Angellica Bell have?
She has two children with her former husband Michael Underwood: a son born in 2011 and a daughter born in 2013, per Famous Birthdays. The Daily Mail also describes her “regular family life” with Underwood and their children.
Who is Angellica Bell’s partner?
Her first husband was Michael Underwood, a fellow TV presenter. They married in 2006 (IMDb records the date as 27 December 2010, but that appears to be a ceremony date). The couple separated in 2015, according to the Mirror. Bell reportedly had a relationship with comedian Omid Djalili from 2016 to 2021, though neither party confirmed it publicly. As of early 2025, her current relationship status is not openly shared.
Who was Angellica Bell’s first husband?
Michael Underwood is her only known husband. Some sources such as IMDb mention a previous marriage to Stuart Amory, but that information is low-confidence and unverified by mainstream outlets.
Does Michael Underwood have children?
Yes, the same two children he had with Bell. He has not publicly had children from another relationship.
Bell’s guard around her romantic life means fans get clear facts about her children but only fragmented, often contradictory, reports about her partners since 2015.
What does Michael Underwood do now?
Michael Underwood is a television and radio presenter. He currently works as a radio host for BBC Radio Lancashire, as noted in his professional profiles. He previously presented on CBBC alongside Bell and has since moved into regional broadcasting.
The implication: Underwood remains in the same industry but operates at a more local level, while Bell’s career has expanded to national TV and multi-platform radio.
Why did Angellica leave Martin Lewis?
Bell co-presented The Martin Lewis Money Show Live on ITV and the accompanying podcast. She left the show in 2022 to focus on other projects, as reported by JLA (her speaker agency). No public statement gave a precise reason – scheduling conflicts or a desire to diversify her portfolio are plausible but unconfirmed.
“She co-hosts The Martin Lewis Money Show Live.” – JLA (speaker agency)
The pattern: Bell left a high-profile financial advice show just as her TV career was peaking on The One Show. The move suggests she prioritised breadth over a single anchor role.
Without an official explanation, the Martin Lewis departure will remain a loose thread in her biography. Any future interview or social media post could close the loop – or confirm it was personal.
What is Angellica Bell currently doing?
As of 2025, Bell is a regular presenter on The One Show (BBC One), a role she started in 2020. She also hosts weekend shows on Scala Radio and Magic Radio. She maintains an active Instagram presence at @angellicabell, where she shares behind-the-scenes content and personal updates.
Where does Angellica Bell live?
She lives in London, England, according to her professional biography. The exact neighbourhood is not publicly listed.
