Andrew was trained as a lawyer - following in the footsteps of his father, the esteemed former Supreme Court judge Barry O'Keefe. But entertainment was also in his blood - his uncle was Australian rock and roll legend Johnny O'Keefe.

Believe it or not, Andrew also studied as a classical singer. In addition to singing he also had a knack for comedy, which took him to Canada where, along with a friend he won the Improv World Championships.

His television career started with the sketch comedy Big Bite. Andrew also co-hosted the Logie Awards in 2005 and the tri-network Tsunami appeal, Reach out to Asia.

These days, Andrew hosts the hugely popular Deal or No Deal. He's also Chairman of White Ribbon Day (the UN International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women).

Andrew and his wife Eleanor have two children, Barnaby James and Rory Ignatius.
