Andrew Tate’s family background is quite extensive with him being born in Scotland, having lived there for most of his childhood, but moving to England when he was five years old to live at home with mum. Due to the huge distance between them, Tate moved back to Scotland at school aged 10 where he studied English Literature. This followed his love for baking cakes and desserts, which he did until high school. When he returned to London at fifteen years old he started working in a bakery at sixteen. In 1990 after his second daughter arrived he became an accountant working in tax and business management but soon became interested in presenting and began hosting television audiences.
He first appeared on BBC1's popular comedy series Top Of The Pops in 1996. When he was eight years old he went on to present CBeebies while his mother was a domestic worker. As her career progressed Andrew became less focused on work as it became more about her caring for her house rather than doing anything really worthwhile. Soon, this made Andrew realize that she wasn't as suitable to spend her time with their sons, so he left his job and family behind to focus solely on his children. A chance to pursue other passions like acting came up and Andrew tried out some auditions, however, being only seven years old Andrew couldn't even look the part properly and ended up receiving an "adult" role with a young boy. His next big break was a stint presenting documentaries on the History channel at thirteen and he continued to host his own Channel 4 channel, Little Mix from fourteen years old and went on to become one the main presenters on MTV. In 2014 Andrew got into a relationship with Melanie and they were happily together for ten years before finally splitting in 2018.
Tate is now living on his own outside Scotland and is currently expecting another baby with his fiancé Emma Mitchell.
Andrew Tate’s personal life so far includes getting engaged to fellow broadcaster Melissa Anderson on Valentine’s Day. However, sadly they had to postpone due to Covid-19 and later started a romance with Zoe Ball, to whom he proposed on their wedding day. Their engagement was announced in February 2020, although the pair split just a few months later. After the news broke Andrew met Zoe in a pub at their flat in May and got down on his knees. It is believed the couple is currently planning a future together, so will be having a baby sometime in 2022.
In August 2021 Andrew gave fans an insight into what a typical evening in the kitchen might look like including how he prepares breakfast. But aside from preparing the food he also does the shopping and makes beds. You can follow Andrew on Instagram here.
