Meet Ray Fielding and Yvonne Fagan
Fielding was born in the Westminster area of London on 21 May 1973, the son of Royal Mail manager Ray Fielding (born 1953) and Yvonne Fagan (1953–1990),[2] and grew up in Pollards Hill near Croydon. He is of French descent through his grandmother. His parents separated sometime after he was born.
His comedic partner Julian Barratt described Fielding’s upbringing as “feral”; according to an article in The Sunday Times, Fielding’s parents “had lots of parties” during his childhood, and Fielding has described how they would party through the night and that he would have to step over the bodies of their sleeping friends in the mornings as he got up.
