[edit] Overview

Edwards, who grew up in Knutsford, Cheshire, got the broadcasting bug whilst he was at school when he researched and conducted interviews for Piccadilly Radio’s Saturday Express which was followed by a regular slot on hospital radio. On stage Jez is also a panto regular. Stevenage saw him tread the boards in his fourth pantomime playing Muddles in Snow White. He has twice played Buttons in Cinderella, (Torquay and Gravesend) as well as Simple Simon in Jack and the Beanstalk (York).

His first major TV work was as one of the main presenters on ITV’s live children’s magazine programme Sticky, and in his time at CITV he was nominated for Best Presenter in the CITV Awards.
