John Cocks is best known to TV viewers as "Cocksy" on TV2's My House, My Castle.

A builder for 19 years, Cocksy has also worked as a building consultant on Hot Property, Groundforce, Changing Rooms and April's Angels.  Other TV roles have included the first Celebrity Treasure Island (which he won), Superstar Treasure Island and Cocksy's Day Off.
 
Cocksy is also the face and voice behind Carters Building Supplies advertising and often hosts DIY ladies evenings at Carters Building Supplies stores.
 
If he is not building and designing houses, Cocksy loves being out and about.  He is a former Thames Valley Colts rugby representative, a keen surfer and fisherman, and is generally up for anything that involves engines, noise or speed.  Like most hard working New Zealand males, he likes to make the most of his days off.
