Cleo Rocos (born 24 July 1962, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) is a UK-based comedy actress, producer, presenter and businesswoman who starred alongside Kenny Everett on The Kenny Everett Television Show. Early life Rocos was born in Brazil. Her father was Greek and worked in shipping, and her mother was English. She came to England as a child to attend school, and also took acting classes. Television career Early career and Kenny Everett Rocos had an early non-speaking part as a green-skinned alien in the first episode of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy television series (1981), demonstrating the effects of a Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster. According to Rocos she was later lunching at the BBC with The Hitchhiker's... director Alan Bell when they were approached by Jim Moir, later Head of Light Entertainment, who asked her to audition for a new show he was developing. This was Kenny Everett's BBC series The Kenny Everett Television Show, which would run for five series from 1981 to 1988, in which her glamorous curvaceous figure was often used to comic effect. The role would also be echoed in her similar appearances in the 1985 TV sketch series Assaulted Nuts, and later in reports for the consumer affairs show That's Life!. Rocos went on to remark in 2013 that the show would not be made in modern times on account of "professional campaigning women with thick ankles and shrill ovaries who have nothing better to do than to police people’s opinions". She also appeared, playing a white-coated lab assistant, alongside Everett in BBC1 science quiz series Brainstorm, which ran for one series in 1988. Off-screen the two found an immediate affinity, which became an enduring friendship "causing mischief wherever we went". Marcus Berkmann described the pair as "two reticent, rather formal people who loved to play and perform but valued their privacy above all else." Later work From the late 1980s to early 1990s, Rocos starred in a Welsh comedy show on S4C called Pobol y Chyff. Rhys Ifans and Meirion Davies played the main characters. An occasional sidekick to 'shock jock' DJ James Whale on late-night ITV in the early 1990s, she fulfilled a similar role with TV critic Garry Bushell on ITV nocturnal TV-review series Bushell on the Box. She also made a few appearances in the Ugly Bloke slot, as an incongruously glamorous escort to physically unattractive males, on Chris Evans'
