Alex gets down with the kids
05-Mar-2003
So it seems perfectly fitting that Big Brother’s hygienic hunk has bagged himself a job as presenter on new TV show on Childrens’ channel Nickelodeon.
Speaking exclusively to the BB website, Alex told us “I’ve done a bit of adult presenting on Channel 4’s Driven so I thought it’d be good to have a go with a different age group. Saying that though – I can’t say I won’t be nervous when the show starts this week! ”
Alex will be co-hosting Off The Hook with veteran Nickelodeon presenter Yolly for four weeks from March 7th.
The show is an interactive quiz show in which kids from across the country will be able to phone in and answer questions from Alex in the hope that they will bag themselves a top prize (which is anything from swimming with dolphins in Florida to being a popstar for the day).
“The show will be using brand new technology which means I can get up to 90 kids on the phone line at the same time!” Alex said excitedly (although it’ll be interesting to see how he copes if they’ve all got gobs on them like Jade).
But Alex insists he won’t be envious when the winners get to jet off and enjoy their prize, because he’ll be flying off to sunny Turin as soon as the first show airs on Friday!
“I’m doing a show for Wish You Were here next week!” Alex smiled “I can’t believe my luck”.
So is there actually any programme Alex won’t tackle? “I can’t say I could do anything like Changing Rooms” he says, “I wouldn’t havea clue what colour went with what”.
Oh, we’re sure you’d work it out Alex. And you’d certainly give Laurence Llwelywn Bowen a run for his money.
