Andy Day

Andrew Paul Day (born May 1981) is an English television presenter and actor.

He is best known for his work on the BBC's CBeebies channel.

He is also a patron of Anti-Bullying Week.

He was first on Friendly TV in 2005 and moved to CBeebies in 2007, becoming the longest serving presenter in 2018.

He is the lead singer of the band Andy and the Odd Socks.

Day is the longest-serving CBeebies presenter having presented programmes and links since July 2007.

He particularly specialises in shows about animals and nature, including:

Day and his now-wife Kat Woolfe met in 2007, and began dating 9 years later.

He was nominated as Best Presenter at the 2009 BAFTA Children's Awards.

In addition to Day's work on television with the children's channel CBeebies, Day also hosted a school radio broadcast for reception age children, entitled "Playtime".

Day has taken part in the CBeebies Live Arena Tour every year since 2012, and played in the Edinburgh Festival in 2009.

He hosted this show until 2017, when the broadcaster Steven Kynman took over.

Day also fronts a pop-rock band that makes songs for children, called Andy and the Odd Socks.

Originally a studio-based project with Andy and the music producers Rob David and Dan Delor, a full band was formed to enable Andy to perform the songs live (rather than to a backing track as he'd previously done with his Dinosaur Rap performances).

The full band was first formed in June 2017 at the Glastonbury festival and have performed at other festivals since.

Who's In The Odd Socks?

There used to be another keyboardist in the band playing the role of "Random Keith" whose real name is still unknown and was replaced by Mac in early 2018.

They became engaged in 2018, and their first child, Ruby Sienna, was born that year.

The couple were married in August 2021, and their second child was born soon after.

Another child was announced in April 2023.

In 2020 they formed the central characters of a CBBC TV show 'Andy and the Band', where the band would help solve fictional fan issues in a manner similar to The Monkees in their TV show, performing older songs and some specifically written for the series (once again, by Day, David and Delor).

They have released 3 studio albums.
