Absalom made his first appearance on the 'new' CBBC Digital Channel in 2002 as the resisdent weather man. However his popularity meant that he soon became a regular presenter in the studio and before long was one of CBBC 's leading presenters, presenting not only on the digital channel but also making regular appearances on the morning slot on BBC2 and the occasional appearance on the BBC1 afternoon slot. His popularity on CBBC was furthered in the summer of 2003 when he and fellow presenter Anne Foy were chosen to host "Britain's Amazing Mates" in which they toured the country attempting to find "the best mates in Britain," involving games and activities. This was followed in 2004 by the show Best Of Friends which he presented alongside fellow CBBC presenter Rani Khanijau . This quickly became one of the most popular shows on CBBC and again highlighted Absalom's great natural talent as a children's presenter, and also his heart-throb status. At the end of 2004 he left the CBBC studio to present one of their leading shows - Xchange , which again he achieved very high success on. 2005 saw another series of Best Of Friends (which was possibly even more popular than the first series) and also the chance of a lifetime when Absalom and Khanijau) filmed several episodes of the show in South Africa in honour of the BBC 's "Africa Week." During the trip Absalom kept an "African video diary" which was shown on Xchange . |
