Andi Peters
Biography
Andi rose to fame presenting programme links for Children's BBC from the "Broom Cupboard", from 1989 to 1993, accompanied by Edd the Duck. Like Phillip Schofield before him, he went from there to Saturday mornings, presenting Live & Kicking alongside Emma Forbes until 1996.

He returned to presenting in 2006 and, again like Schofield, is an ITV face these days, usually seen putting up with Piers Morgan on Good Morning Britain.
