DAVID METCALFE 310

David Metcalfe

DOB: Not known
Marital status: Single
Address: Farrer’s Barn
Occupation: Runs a cleaning company

First arrived
David appeared in 2006 under a cloud of mystery, refusing to reveal anything more than that he was looking for his father. This turned out to be Eric Pollard.

Memorable moments
When Pollard discovered that David and his then girlfriend Delilah Dingle were trying to swindle him in revenge. He played his son at his own game and came clean about his mother. With tears in his eyes Pollard told his son exactly what he did and insisted that he pay David back the money he'd taken all those years ago.

About the actor
Matthew Wolfenden is a former gymnast and even made it to the British squad before a back injury forced him to quit. He originally auditioned for the role of Eli Dingle. Show chiefs called to tell him he didn’t get that part, but offered him the role of David instead.
