Good Morning Britain viewers were left in disbelief on Wednesday as host Andi Peters' age was revealed, with some demanding to see his birth certificate!
Andi has remained on our screens throughout lockdown, hosting his usual GMB competition slots from home or various locations around the UK, but he returned to the studio for the first time in 149 days to join ITV colleagues Ben Shephard and Charlotte Hawkins as he celebrated a landmark birthday.
The man who has now been on our screens for three decades is 50, yes 50! Ben couldn't believe it and neither could scores of viewers at home as they expressed their shock at his age, given his youthful appearance.
One tweeted: "How is @andipeters 50?! He hasn’t aged since the broom cupboard days!" and, in firm agreement, another posted: "Happy 50th birthday Andy (sic) Peters. You look great for your age, you look like you're in your thirties xx. Act like you're in your teens."
Taking things further, another shocked viewer reacted: "50? Really? Need to see a birth certificate for proof!!"
Andi was himself surprised as a host of video messages came flooding in from celeb pals to mark his 50th, with the likes of Chris Moyles, Phillip Schofield, Holly Willoughby and Ant & Dec passing on their best wishes.
Andi was of course roving reporter for the last series of Saturday Night Takeaway earlier this year, but his TV career dates back far longer.
He first shot to fame in CBBC's broom cupboard alongside puppet pal Ed the Duck and went on to host the likes of Live & Kicking, The O-Zone, Top of the Pops and, more recently narrated The Big Reunion and hosted the show's live concert.
He also appeared as a contestant on the first series of Dancing on Ice.
