Making people laugh comes naturally for Guy Montgomery - after all, he is one of Aotearoa's most successful comedians.
But while you wouldn't have any issues describing him as funny, practical? Not so much.
So, perfect for Celebrity Treasure Island then.
"I used to have a stand-up joke where I'd say I add no practical value in any given situation," Guy tells Woman's Day. "But I've reached this far in life, so I'll hopefully be able to provide some morale!" What Guy might lack when it comes to practicality, he makes up for in biting the bullet and giving things a go - like taking on the role of parent when he met his dream girl, Cousins actress Chelsie Preston Crayford and her gorgeous daughter Olive.
Guy was living in New York but back in Auckland for work, when a chance meeting changed the course of his life.
"I came back for some work at the comedy festival and I met my partner after an improv show at the Basement Theatre called Snort" recalls Guy.
"We were just chatting and getting along really well, and I thought, 'OK! I asked her out on a date, but I was living in New York and she was a young parent who had a two-year-old daughter.
