Michael Absalom (born 13 April 1980), more commonly known as Abs, Is a regular Presenter on CBBC from 2002 to 2006 and hosted CBBC shows Best of Friends, Xchange and Sportsround. Absalom now works as a Freelance Sports Commentator and Reporter for BBC Sport, Eurosport, Star Sports, Sky Sports and most recently BT Sport.
Born on 13 April 1980 in Falkirk, Stirlingshire, Scotland, he has lived in many different areas including Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria; Rowlands Castle, Hampshire and the south west counties of Dorset and Somerset. He now lives in Twickenham, London. He was educated at Dumpton School and Millfield School.
Absalom made his first appearance on the CBBC Channel in 2002, as the resident weatherman. However, his popularity meant that he soon became a regular presenter in the studio, and before long he was one of CBBC's leading presenters, presenting not only on the CBBC Channel but also making regular appearances on BBC Two and BBC One.
His popularity on CBBC was furthered in the summer of 2003 when he and fellow presenter Anne Foy were chosen to host Britain's Amazing Mates, in which they toured the country attempting to find 'the best mates in Britain', involving games and activities. This was followed in 2004 by the show Best of Friends which he presented alongside fellow CBBC presenter Rani Price. This quickly became one of the most popular shows on CBBC and again highlighted his great natural talent as a children's presenter. In 2004, he left the CBBC studio a.k.a. The Broom Cupboard to present one of CBBC's leading shows, Xchange, on which - again - he achieved great success.
