Former children's TV presenter Andi Peters interviewed potential Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on ITV This Morning on Thursday, August 18 - and discovered he was the Tory leader hopeful's childhood hero. The interview came following the announcement that polls suggest that Rishi's political opponent, Liz Truss, is on course to follow Boris Johnson as the next Leader of the Conservative Party and Prime Minister of the UK.
“This is the most exciting interview I’ve done on this campaign,” said Rishi, 42, as he began his interview with former BBC Broom Cupboard host Andi and Rochelle Humes. “I grew up with Andi. It was the Broom Cupboard, it was Ed the Duck," he added of the late '80s/early '90s kids' TV favourites as he prepared for a grilling from the two entertainment presenters.
Rishi then shared his knowledge of the children's BBC shows that he remembered watching during his 'childhood', prompting Andi to say: "You know the shows!" However, things soon turned more serious.
