Andy Whittaker

Andy Whittaker is BBC Radio Nottingham's Breakfast Show presenter. He also fronts the Number One Show on Saturday afternoons.

About Andy

Born: 21st September 1968 (Andy is convinced that Earth, Wind & Fire sing about his birthday in their song "September").

Star Sign: Virgo (This means he likes everything in its logical place and is always striving for perfection).

Favourite Music: Wide and varied. Everything from The Feeling to Oasis and Robbie Williams to Bon Jovi features in Andy's CD collection.

Andy's a man on a mission with BBC Radio Nottingham's Breakfast Show. 

He wants the show to be led and shaped by you and the other people who listen to it. 

He'd love to hear from you about what you think the show should be featuring and also if you have some ideas about how to make Nottinghamshire even better!

Andy has to get up at 4am to present the Breakfast Show but he's got used to getting up early over the years.

Meet Andy's breakfast show team

A team of people help make Andy's programme.  Here are some of them.

Background

Andy had a somewhat nomadic childhood as his dad's job moved him around the country and the world living in places as diverse as Cheshire, Suffolk, Staffordshire, Yorkshire and Australia.

He's tried to settle down a bit now though and has been living and working in the East Midlands since 1994. 

In his spare time Andy enjoys lots of things but isn't very good at any of them. Golf, cooking and photography in particular. 

Andy has two kids, Anna and George. He also got married again in 2005. 

If you've ever wondered what Andy gets up to in an average day, check out these pictures.
