BiographyBrocket is the son of Hon Ronald Nall-Cain and Elizabeth Trotter. His father died when he was nine years old. He became the 3rd Baron Brocket aged fifteen on the death of his grandfather, Arthur Nall-Cain, 2nd Baron Brocket, also inheriting Brocket Hall.[1] The Hall was at the time in a bad state of repair, and he has since converted it into a hotel and conference venue.[1] Today he still owns the hall in Hertfordshire through a trust which leases it to a German consortium. The lease expires after fifty years. An Old Etonian, Lord Brocket served in the 14th/20th King's Hussars as a Lieutenant in Germany.[1] He became known as a playboy, and collected classic cars, once owning forty-two Ferraris, which he became known for in the eighties and early 1990s. He was convicted of insurance fraud in 1996 and sentenced to five years in prison, of which he served two and a half years.[2][3][4][5] In 2004, he was a contestant on the third series of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!.[6] Finishing in fourth place, his newfound fame made him a popular TV celebrity, making almost £1 million in offers. His autobiography, Call Me Charlie, was published in hardback in September, coming in the Top 10 Best Sellers list of 2004. He hosted the ITV game show Scream! If You Want to Get Off and presented Privates Exposed, a behind-the-scenes programme for ITV's Bad Lads Army, on ITV2. In 2007, he launched his own Brocket Hall Foods range of groceries.[7] MarriageIn 1982, he married former Vogue model Isabell Maria Lorenzo. In 2006 he married Harriet Victoria Warren.[8] References1. ^Simpson, Richard (2004) "[https://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/2731771/Portrait-of-a-driver-Lord-Brocket.html Portrait of a driver: Lord Brocket]", Daily Telegraph, 27 November 2004, retrieved 6 November 2010 2. ^Walker, Esther (2007) "[https://www.independent.co.uk/environment/green-living/bangers--cash-how-charlie-brocket-reinvented-himself-as-a-purveyor-of-ecofriendly-sausages-744807.html Bangers & cash: How Charlie Brocket reinvented himself as a purveyor of eco-friendly sausages]", The Independent, 27 September 2007, retrieved 6 November 2010 3. ^1 2 Graham, Natalie (2004) "Fame & Fortune: Celebrity peer no longer lords it up", The Times, 19 September 2004, retrieved 6 November 2010 4. ^Walker, Tim (2008) "[https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1584761/When-Lord-Brocket-hits-the-fan.html When Lord Brocket hits the fan]", Daily Telegraph, 12 April 2008, retrieved 6 November 2010 5. ^Lord Charles Brocket (2004) Call me Charlie: The Autobiography of Lord Brocket, Simon & Schuster, {{ISBN|978-0-7432-6363-4}} 6. ^"Is a fuse lit for Brocket fireworks?", Daily Mail, 15 June 2006, retrieved 6 November 2010 7. ^"Lord Charlie Brocket launches own groceries range {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110726135134/http://www.talkingretail.com/products/product-news/lord-charlie-brocket-launches-own-groceries-range |date=26 July 2011 }}", TalkingRetail.com, 10 October 2007, retrieved 6 November 2010 8. ^The Peerage, entry for 3rd Lord Brocket External links
