Andi Peters (born 29th July 1970 in Chelsea, South West London, England) first found fame as a British gay TV presenter and was subsequently employed as a senior TV executive. He is mostly associated with shows for young people. Initially he presented Free Time on ITV, but reached a much wider audience with Edd the Duck and Wilson (an arm purporting to be part of a butler) in the "broom cupboard" slot on Children's BBC, which he presented from 1990 to 1993. He eventually came out of the "broom cupboard" and then presented Live & Kicking, alongside Emma Forbes, from 1993 to 1996. Andi's film credits include Toy Story 2 where, in a small role, he supplied the voice of a baggage handler.

Andi became executive producer of Top of the Pops in 2003 and resigned from that role in 2005. He also created the highly successful T4 on Channel 4 and currently presents daytime reality show City Hospital on BBC One.

In January 2006, Andi took part in ITV's reality ice-skating show Dancing on Ice. He was voted out in the second week, due to his 'awkward' and overly camp skating style. Along with fellow ex-contestant Andrea McLean, Andi presented spin-off show Dancing on Ice Extra every weekday on ITV until the end of the series.

Andi has also became somewhat of a regular on BBC Radio 1's Chris Moyles Show.
