Ross Noble to headline Shark Trust's For the Love of Sharks event

Comedian and actor Ross Noble will headline this year’s For the Love of Sharks, the Shark Trust’s annual event celebrating sharks and shark conservation.

The event will take place at the Royal Geographical Society in London on Friday 27 November, bringing together speakers, conservationists and shark enthusiasts for an evening of talks and the live announcement of the Shark Photographer of the Year 2026 winners.

Noble, who recently appeared in ITV’s Shark! Celebrity Infested Waters, will discuss learning to dive and his experiences diving with sharks in The Bahamas during filming.

‘I had never dived before filming Shark! Celebrity Infested Waters,’ said Noble. ‘Learning to dive and going diving with sharks in The Bahamas was genuinely life-changing. It opened my eyes to the underwater world, and how amazing sharks are.

‘I’m delighted to be supporting the Shark Trust and can’t wait to share my experience with the For the Love of Sharks audience in November!’

Joining him will be ‘heavy metal marine biologist’ Tom ‘The Blowfish’ Hird, presenter of Netflix’s All the Sharks. A long-standing Shark Trust member, supporter and ambassador, Hird will take part in the ‘Sharks on Our Screens’ panel, which will focus on recent television programmes featuring sharks.

Together with the presentations, the winners of the Shark Photographer of the Year 2026 competition will be announced live on the night.

The Shark Trust will also provide updates on shark conservation during 2026, opportunities for attendees to meet the team and some of its brand partners, and even indulge in a bit of shark-themed shopping.
