Jack's Throwback Attack Podcast - S2 E3 - A Chat With Jez Edwards

Episode three of the second series of my podcast and I’m extremely happy to present a chat with the awesome Jez Edwards!

Jez was a familiar face on Kids TV in the late 90’s-Mid 00’s. Starting off on CITV presenting the backwards gameshow Crazy Cottage. As well as hosting Mashed on Saturday mornings and the live magazine show Sticky.

A jump to CBBC involved Jez being part of the presenting team of the long running show Record Breakers. As well as being part of the daily magazine show Xchange. This then lead to a career in acting, starting off with a part in Chucklevision! 

More recently Jez’s career has involved him acting in Coronation Street and in the famous Sainsbury’s Christmas armistice advert. The latter of which completely blew my mind as I didn’t recognise him originally! 

 Jez also continues to perform in panto every year at the Leeds Carriageworks Theatre. 

Jez was a joy to talk to and I thank him massively for taking the time out of his Saturday spent with his daughter to chat with me and reminisce about the likes of doing a cookery item with Las Ketchup and trying present a gameshow full of hyperactive kids on a set deliberately built at a steep angle for comedic effect.
