Good Morning Britain presenter Andi Peters is celebrating his birthday - and fans are gobsmacked at his age.

Peters turned 50 today, but his fans and colleagues have commented that he doesn’t seem to have aged since his 20s.

He was met with cheers in the ITV studio this morning by his colleagues Ben Shephard and Charlotte Hawkins, who wished him a happy birthday.

“Fifty, can you believe it, it’s unreal,” he said as he also celebrated returning to the studio after lockdown. “Little me, 50 years old!”

Hawkins told Peters: “You don’t look it, Andi.”

A number of familiar faces echoed Hawkins, with Holly Willoughby saying: "That can’t be right, he looks about 21."

Fans agreed on social media, with one Twitter user writing: “How the hell is Andi Peters 50 today, he looks the same as when he was in the broom cupboard with Edd the duck.”

“Andi Peters turning 50 makes me feel old!!” wrote another.

A third added: “Happy Birthday to Andi Peters who is 50 today and commiserations to everyone else who now feels ancient.”

Peters’ career kicked off in 1989 when he became a host on The Broom Cupboard, alongside Phillip Schofield and Andy Crane.

He was accompanied by a hand puppet named Edd the Duck.

He worked for The Broom Cupboard for four years before working at the BBC Children’s programme Live & Kicking.

His career has since included The Big Reunion, Saturday Night Takeaway and Good Morning Britain.
