Sean Dermot Finton O'Leary studied Media & Politics at Middlesex University, did a stint on BBC Radio Essex, entered TV as a runner, and we reckon he made his TV debut being embarrassed by Mel and Sue on ''Light Lunch'' (for which he did the warm-up too). The ever-cheerful Arsenal fan is apt to turn up in anything, but was for a long time best known for BBLB. Also currently presents a Saturday afternoon show on Radio 2.
