Ed Sanders (born 10 May 1975, Wimbledon, London) is an English carpenter and television personality. He learned carpentry to help keep himself employed between acting jobs.[1]
In 1999, he landed the role of Eddie Moliano in the Sky One series Dream Team. He was a reporter for the morning show RI:SE, and eventually became host of the UK version of Fear Factor.

In 2004, Sanders moved to the U.S. with his wife and son. He was hired to work as a carpenter on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, where he was severely injured, slicing through his hand, nearly severing his thumb. After months of surgery and therapy, he returned to the show.
During the summer of 2007, Sanders hosted the six episode run of National Bingo Night on ABC, a ratings failure.
In 2006 Sanders started Limey Yank Productions', a creative production company, with American writer Whit Honea. Their mission: "To put the 'Real' in Reality Television. Also, the 'vision' part, but not the 'ity' or 'tele' stuff."[2] The company name is a play on the slang terms "Limey" due to Sanders being British, and "Yank" as Honea is from the U.S.
Sanders' wife, Gioia (née Gagliano), an Italian-American magazine and fashion-show make-up artist, gave birth to triplet daughters on May 5, 2007 in Los Angeles, California: Scarlette, Azure and Lucia. The couple also has a son, Max (born 2003).[3]
