Julian Peedle-Calloo (born 1977) is a deaf British television presenter. He is a former presenter on deaf magazine programme See Hear.
Peedle-Calloo has been deaf since birth. With a hearing aid he can hear a little, but most of the time he cannot be bothered to wear it. He does not identify his deafness as a disability, but as himself being part of a linguistic minority. BSL is his first language, and English (written and spoken) is his second language.[1]
He graduated from Wolverhampton University with a 2:1 degree in electronic media in October 2000.
In January 2001, he began a five-month backpacking trip around the world. During the trip he got engaged to Deaf actress Diana Martin. After returning from his trek he applied to the BBC and Channel 4 for work. It was after this that he was offered a job working on See Hear.
In 2005 he was successful in winning "Best Male Presenter" at the Remark! Film & TV Awards.
In 2012 he played Eddie in series nine, episode three of New Tricks.
