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.
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]
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]
