Who is Simon Thomas?
Simon Thomas was born in Cromer, Norfolk, on January 26, 1973.
He began his career in 1999 when he became the 27th presenter on the BBC’s iconic children’s show Blue Peter – which he fronted alongside Katy Hill, Konnie Huq, Matt Baker and Liz Barker.
After six years on the show, Simon made the move into sports broadcasting.
Aside from his presenting career, Simon has also become a popular speaker on mental health, grief and sobriety, speaking to organisations such as Asda, Aviva, the Home Office and Linklaters.
He also had his own podcast titled ”Life Interrupted” – a project which ran for three series and saw the presenter speak to stars about how they found a way through some of life’s toughest challenges.
