In January
2006, Andi Peters 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. [

Andrea McLean, he presented fan show
Dancing on Ice Extra every weekday on ITV for the rest of the show's run.
Andi returned to
