Tyler West is about to embark on the biggest moment of his career: Children in Need.

But during his steady climb to the pinnacle of British television, the presenter, 30, has jumped through endless hoops, from presenting CBBC to hosting the breakfast show on Kiss FM. Now he presents Strictly Come Dancing’s new spin-off show, Lights Up.

The last decade has been full-throttle for the former youth worker, who has appeared on the biggest show on British television, travelled the globe with his now-fiancée Molly Rainford and interviewed the world’s great superstars.

‘I interviewed Margot Robbie, and she’s my celeb crush,’ he says, grimacing. ‘You know when you talk to someone and you go “how are you?” and then it just muddles up.

‘I said gibberish, then no words came out my mouth because I was just looking at her at. I could have acted a bit cooler.’

Thankfully, the ordeal hasn’t scuppered his chances of hosting tonight’s Children in Need, the holy grail for any British presenter, following in the footsteps of the likes of Rylan Clark, Alex Jones, Mel Giedroyc and Sara Cox.

But the gig perhaps means more to Tyler than to many stars who have trod the boards of the annual fundraiser before him.

‘There’s so many presenters that go their whole careers without being presented with the opportunity to do Children In Need but personally, it feels like such a milestone and a salute to like the younger Tyler that was shy and wouldn’t come out of his bedroom. But above all of that is that we get to raise some really important funds for young people that need it.

‘I was in their position when I was younger, so it’s going to hit a bit different.’
