History
Originally Peter Andre was supposed to be the full-time presenter, but due to other commitments he was unable to fill all the slots.[2] Channel 4 decided to change the format, to have a range of guest hosts filling in. Starting with Lenny Henry's stint, the show's title was altered to Presenter's 5 O'Clock Show.
