Tony Dortie is a British TV personality. He set up his own production company called Triple T Entertainment. He has appeared on various popular entertainment networks such as BBC, Music Box, ITV (Schofield's Quest),British Film Institute, MTV, BBC World Service, 3e (Glam Slam) and various others as a host. He is currently a host and creator for the TV game show, 7$TEPS.

Dortie was born in London and grew up in Lewes, Sussex. He later attributes his out-going personality to his mixed childhood of Sussex Countryside and Inner City London combining a Broadcasting career with constant regular charity work.

Whilst at school, Dortie was a contributor to Music Box where he started his on screen broadcast career. Moving on to work for Children's BBC UP2U and then joining Ant & Dec, Zoë Ball and Peter Andre as one of the 1990s hosts of Top of the Pops. His Marmite style of presenting by talking with many inner city urban phrases, such 'Peace out' 'Laterz' and 'Respect', was not to everyone's taste and earned mixed and often critical reviews.

After becoming fascinated by the differences between hosting a TV show and owning the production company, Dortie set up his own production company called Djem Productions Ltd., where it was clear he made every mistake a new media company could make, and the company collapsed.

Dortie enjoyed his first breakthrough from creating and writing TV formats with the show, TXTC, which was broadcast first in Thailand, and then many other Asian countries. In 2004, TXTC was nominated for an Asian TV Award for best game show source. Dortie next wrote Chain Reaction for Fox8 in Australia hosted by Mieke Buchan.

His writing skills caught the attention of FremantleMedia, and then 2waytraffic, where he continues to enjoy success with TXTC.
