Personal Life

The family then moved to Staplehurst, Kent where Hill attended the local primary school. He was educated at Angley School and then Cranbrook School in Kent and St George's Hospital Medical School before training in neurosurgery at the University of London. Hill worked as a house officer at Doncaster Royal Infirmary, before quitting the medical profession because he "didn't feel in control of what was happening". Hill married artist Magda Archer in 1996 in Wandsworth, London. They have three daughters, all born in Kensington and Chelsea, London: Kitty, Winnie and Frederica. He now resides in the seaside town of Whitstable, Kent. Hill maintains a small, dark flat in Battersea, London. In February 2006, Hill was a victim of identity theft; a sum of £280,000 was stolen from his bank account. In September 2008, Hill worked with Fairtrade to release Harry's Nuts, a brand of fairtrade peanuts. He is known to have been a supporter for his namesake football club Harrow Hill F.C., also known as Harry Hill F.C. In 2008, he was presented with a Harrow Hill badge, which he subsequently wore regularly on episodes of TV Burp.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“Hostesses who entertain much must make up their parties as ministers make up their cabinets, on grounds other than personal liking.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“For, as it is dislocation and detachment from the life of God, that makes things ugly, the poet, who re-attaches things to nature and the Whole,—re-attaching even artificial things, and violations of nature, to nature, by a deeper insight,—disposes very easily of the most disagreeable facts.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
