He began hosting the Breakfast programme in 2003 which he still presents with his close friend Shelagh Fogarty. They recently won two Sony Gold awards in 2009 including the prestigious prize for best Breakfast Show.
Television and Watchdog
His career in television began in the late 80’s presenting ITV’s Wheel of Fortune and Top of the Pops. In the 1990s Campbell fronted the legendary debate series Central Weekend Live which transferred to London as Carlton Live and also became an ITV Network show. He has just finished a nine year stint on Watchdog, the longest running presenter of that show and currently hosts the flagship live faith and ethics debate show, ‘The Big Questions’ on BBC One on a Sunday morning.
He also presented game shows including ITV’s ‘For the Rest of Your Life’ and the ‘Battle of the Brains’ on BBC2. Campbell featured in the BBC’s ‘Who Do You Thing You Are’ in 2007 where he traced his adoptive family's roots in Scotland and Australia.
