Before Mr. Tumble
Justin Fletcher was born in Reading, Berkshire on 15th June, 1970.
That means that the actor 50 years old this year!
He is a children’s TV presenter, actor, and comedian who specialises in slapstick comedy.
Fletcher stars in various self-created roles including the famous and most loved, Mr. Tumble.
You might also recognise Fletcher’s famous songwriter dad, Guy Fletcher.
Justin attended the Theale Green School when he was a child and spent his final year at the Guildford School of Acting studying drama.
It was during this time when Fletcher realised his dreams of being a TV personality.
But before we get into his career and how he became the famous Mr. Tumble, let’s first find out his net worth!
Mr. Tumble has an estimated net worth of $1.5 million! (Other famous English comedians with deep pockets include Johnny Vegas, Russell Brand, and Jack Whitehall!).
Now that we know Mr. Tumble’s impressive net worth, lets learn more about his amazing career.
The Many Faces
Justin Fletcher began his career in children’s television after being inspired by regularly watching Phillip Schofield with Gordon the Gopher in the BBC 1 broom cupboard.
An inspired Fletcher once told Phillip on This Morning:
“You are responsible for my career, that’s very true. At my third year in drama school I met Phillip and he very kindly gave me some advice and he said go out there and make a show reel and get it out there… and I did and I got my first job about three weeks later. You were my inspiration!”
His dreams were further realised when the two met and created a short reel to get the attention of TV executives.
After graduating from acting school, Mr. Tumble joined his first ever show, GMTV’s Fun Song Factory where he appeared alongside Dave Benson Phillips.
Fletcher then joined a program called Tikkabilla, which successfully progressed and brought us Mr. Tumble.
Fletcher was also the voice of several of our most loved childhood characters like Miguel in Finly the Fire Engine, Shaun the Sheep movie and Timmy Time.
In 2006, Fletcher spent a year presenting for CBeebies.
Fletcher also had his own production company where he developed Something Special.
In 2008, Fletcher created Humphrey the Painter, Gigglebiz and Captain Adorable, which were aired by CBeebies.
The show Gigglebiz then went on to be a successful full-time series.
The same year, Justin was appointed as a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) for services to “children’s broadcasting and the voluntary sector.”
Then in 2011, “Justin’s House” began broadcasting where Justin starred alongside Steven Kynman in front of a live studio audience.
Besides being an MBE, Fletcher has also been nominated for several BAFTA children’s awards as Best Presenter for his roles on Something Special and Gigglebiz.

What does Mr Tumble enjoy doing during his free time?
We all know that Mr Tumble is quite the workaholic so its understandable that he’d enjoy doing ‘slower’ activities with his family like going for country walks and fishing.
He’s also into classic cars and film music as he once told BBC:
“I’m quite into classic cars. I’m quite fascinated by things like that… Film music is so important to me. I was brought up in the music industry.”
