Andy Akinwolere supports Shine week

Andy Akinwolere

"I’m really proud to be backing Shine because every young person has a talent, even if they don’t realise it!

I never thought about becoming a TV presenter until someone asked me to audition for Blue Peter. I would have loved something like Shine Week when I was at school, to help me discover my talent! Shine Week will give young people the chance to display their talents for everyone to see and in return receive well deserved public recognition. I hope that every teacher in every school signs up and gives their students a chance to Shine."
