On Come Dine with Me lately it mentioned there was a Dandy Artist in it called Simon Drew, I've looked all over the internet trying to find out who this artist is, if anyone could help that would be great!

Did they say what Simon drew? Like Nancy Drew he's a mystery. (Its the Edinburgh festival for me next summer).

No, that's my point, they never mentioned what he drew. I'd like to see some examples of his work if anyone is able to show me.

I'm guessing he drew adventure stories....

He has a Wikipedia article - no mention of the Dandy, or any comics, though. Either he didn't sign his comics work (and therefore we haven't been able to identify it), his work has yet to appear, or Channel 4 didn't do their research.

This new episode comes from south Devon, where party girl Frankie Tolliday takes on American rock chick Tara Mulholland, Dandy artist Simon Drew and relentless joker Peter Pyne.

maybe he just ghosted or drew for spinoffs like the fun size dandys

Perhaps when they say Dandy Artist they mean he's a painter who dresses rather foppishly? (I'm definitely going to Edinburgh with this cutting edge wit).

If that's the case, the D shouldn't be a capital letter. Which would be a mistake by Channel 4's web team presumably.

My responses were jokes, allegedly - what's the matter with you people?

Yeah, I mean Adam Ant called himself the Dandy Highwayman in 'Stand and Deliver" but I don't think he ever worked on the comic... shocking misrepresentation!
