'The Bill' star sets up property business

The Bill star Gary Lucy has set up a successful property business.

The 25-year-old actor, who plays Sun Hill's Will Fletcher, started the company in Mallorca eighteen months ago and now has an impressive 2,000 properties on his books after teaming up with two estate agents. Lucy advertises the agents' homes on his website in return for a fee.

"When I started acting, my dad told me to put my money in property," Gary told the Daily Star. "It is paying off nicely."

Lucy is also known for his roles as Luke Morgan in Hollyoaks and Kyle Pascoe on Footballers' Wives.
