Who Is Lee Ingleby?

The Burnley native is an actor, prominently known as Stan Shunpike, a Knight Bus conductor, from the 2004 Harry Potter franchise, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

He lent his voice to the major character, Bob, in the children's animated television show, Bob, the Builder. He landed a role as a bloodthirsty vampire, Edgar Wyndham, in the 2011 supernatural comedy-drama television series, Being Human.

Married his Girlfriend?

Ingleby revealed in an interview with The Telegraph in 2017 that he was in a relationship with a lady. However, he did not reveal the identity of his partner, citing that his girlfriend prefers anonymity. 

My girlfriend will kill me for talking about her. She’s very anonymous. I can’t name names...

He let his fans know that the most romantic thing he had ever done was to adopt a cat named Harry as a present for his girlfriend.

He further added that his girlfriend, a cat lover, works in the City, and the pair were together for several years with "hopes to start a family one day. "
