Andrew Cotter – Olive and Mabel

Alongside his sporting work, Andrew has written and presented about the four-legged members of his family – Olive and Mabel. In 2021 and 2022, Andrew, Olive and Mabel went around the UK on tour, providing hilarious anecdotes involving his dogs. During lockdown, he posted ‘contests’ between the dogs alongside his tongue-in-cheek commentary online. This series gained over 90 million views across social media, and Olive and Mabel have become stars of their own.

In connection with this online series, he published Olive, Mabel & Me: Life and Adventures with Two Very Good Dogs in 2020, containing the story of both dogs, how they came to be his, their life now, their unexpected rise to stardom, and how they deal with their new-found fame. The following year, he published Dog Days: A Year With Olive & Mabel. This book took a diary format, and explored how the three of them got through an entire year of lockdown.
