Life & Career
Van Day was born David Paul Day on 28 November 1956 in Brighton, Sussex, England. Having been a member of song-and-dance troupe The Young Generation, in 1974, he successfully auditioned for the then-new vocal group Guys ‘n’ Dolls. The group had a few hits, and Van Day began a romantic relationship with bandmate Thereza Bazar. Keen to embark on a solo career, Van Day was sacked from the band along with Bazar shortly afterward in 1977.

Van Day and Bazar then decided to perform together and formed a new duo, Dollar. The band recorded and toured from 1978 to 1983, then again from 1986 to 1988. They had several top-ten hits in the UK, including “Love’s Gotta Hold on Me” and “Give Me Back My Heart”.
He also had a brief solo career as a movie actor, appearing as a devious handyman in Michael Armstrong’s 1983 horror anthology film Screamtime, opposite Dora Bryan and Jean Anderson. After a final top-ten hit, “O L’amour”, in 1988, Dollar broke up for a second time. Bazar left the music industry and moved to Australia.
David Van Day toured as Dollar with a succession of female singers in the early to mid-1990s. In the late 1990s, he joined one incarnation of the pop group Bucks Fizz, alongside original Bucks Fizz member Mike Nolan. With both of these acts, he recorded and released budget-priced CDs of re-recorded hits. Neither sold well and the Bucks Fizz tracks received widespread criticism from fans.
Van Day (with Bazar) competed in the ITV1 reality show Reborn in the USA in 2003. He was the first act voted off. He caused controversy during the show, accusing producers of biased editing, and arguing with singer and fellow contestant Sonia, accusing her of “being crafty and cunning to try to save her own skin”.
In 2008, Van Day was a semi-finalist on the eighth series of the British reality television show I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!, finishing in fourth place. Van Day hosted the eleven-part reality series Brides on a Bus on Wedding TV. He also briefly appeared in the series Celebrity Coach Trip on Channel 4, and was interviewed with his wife Sue Moxley on The Jeremy Kyle Show.
