Toby Tarrant | Beyond Broadcasting

Demonstrating his flair for combining humour with philanthropy, he later took on an unusual challenge by pedalling a unicorn-shaped pedalo along the River Thames, which captured public imagination and ultimately raised an extraordinary £250,000 for the same charity.

A passionate sports fan, he is particularly devoted to cricket, playing locally for Stoke D’Abernon in Surrey, as well as following Liverpool FC. His enthusiasm for the game feeds directly into his co-hosting role on the popular cricket podcast Zero Ducks Given.
