Nigel in his Nickelodeon days.

In 1997, he made his first appearance on CITV on the magazine show Sticky which was an attempt to rival Blue Peter over on CBBC. A trial run was aired for eight weeks before never returning. However this wasn't to be Nigel's only foray on terrestrial kids TV...

In the meantime Nigel started presenting for the UK version of The Disney Channel. Something he continued to do for eight years. Starting in 1997 and leaving in 2005. A long side this he was able to take part in his original love of radio, presenting on Capital Disney for a number of years. 

His other ventures on CITV included being part of the presenting team for the second series of Mad For It in the year 2000. The following year he presented the game show Twister which was an attempt to refresh the Fun House format, however it would only run for a single series. 

Since his days in kids TV, Nigel has presented for the Sky channel Film 24 and also presented The Hub on ITV's This Morning. To this day, for a number of years Nigel has been the pitch side reporter for Arsenal FC.
