During his early television career, Andi Peters worked for ITV as a presenter for Thames Television and as in-vision continuity announcer for Children's ITV.[2]
He was taken on by the BBC in 1989 as a presenter on Children's BBC for The Broom Cupboard, succeeding Phillip Schofield and Andy Crane. Peters was accompanied by Edd the Duck, a hand puppet with a green mohican but, contrary to popular belief, never actually manipulated the puppet. Peters hosted The Broom Cupboard for just over four years, leaving in 1993.[3] He went on to present Take Two, a BBC Children's comments programme, and BBC Children's Saturday morning television programme Live & Kicking with Emma Forbes and John Barrowman.[2] He presented "Live & Kicking" between 1993 and 1996. Barrowman was only a full presenter for the first series.[citation needed ]
Subsequently, Peters went on to work at LWT, and for Channel 4 as commissioning editor for youth and children's programmes. Among his TV producer credits are The Noise (ITV), The O-Zone (BBC), Top of the Pops (BBC) and Shipwrecked (Channel 4).[2] [4]
In 2013 and 2014, Peters narrated the ITV2 reality series The Big Reunion , which shows the reunions of pop groups.[5] [6]
He appeared in the ITV daytime show Show Me the Telly a number of times towards the end of 2013. Since 28 April 2014, Peters has hosted competitions on the breakfast news programme Good Morning Britain , and also the ITV daytime game show Ejector Seat , which aired for a very short period in 2014 as a temporary replacement for Tipping Point .[7]
He appears on Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway as a competition presenter.[8]
From 2020–2021, Peters had been occasionally guest hosting the ITV show Lorraine .[citation needed ]
Film
[edit ]Peters had a minor part in the 1999 animated film Toy Story 2 , in which he provided the voice of Male Baggage Handler #1. Director John Lasseter offered the role to him while Peters was interviewing Lasseter for a Channel 4 "making-of" documentary. Because his US work visa did not cover voiceover work, Peters had to record his line in the UK over a live broadcast to the Pixar studio.[9] [2]
Radio
[edit ]In March 2022, Peters stood in on Virgin Radio's The Graham Norton Show while Graham Norton was away for family reasons.[10]
