Her most famous roles are of those as game show hosts (or presenters in England). Her first job as a presenter was for Spin 2 Win on Avago in April, 2004. She left Avago in 2005 to be the presenter for Quiznation and other shows from the Optimistic Network.^[1]

In April 2006, her first job in the United States came as host of GSN's PlayMania, a show with a similar format to Quiznation. She shared hosting duties with Shandi Finnessey, and later Jessica York, until PlayMania broke off into two separate shows in February 2007. She switched on and off, hosting the two programs 100 Winners and quiznation.

The April 7, 2007 episode of quiznation was Peachey's "goodbye show" and her last night as host, as she announced that she left to return home to London. ^[2]
