F R A N K I E V U // ABOUT
Warm, energetic and wholesome, Frankie Vu has carved out a reputation for himself as one of the UK’s most in-demand presenters.
Having started his TV career on Disney XD’s Goalmouth, it wasn’t long before Frankie was picked up by some of the nation’s biggest broadcasters and most prestigious brands. After three seasons on Goalmouth, he went on to co-host Disney Channel’s Access All Areas: Unlocked alongside Vick Hope, interviewing the biggest stars in popular culture. This paved the way for numerous Disney movie specials, where Frankie ventured behind-the-scenes for Movie Surfers on Disney Channel US.
With a passion for tech and a knack for clear, articulate explanations, Frankie hosted two seasons of CBBC’s Technobabble, taking a look into what the future could bring for our day-to-day lives. Building on his natural curiosity and love for learning, it was a natural choice for Frankie to co-host the re-boot of HOW, ITV’s iconic fact-finding show for the whole family.
A former football freestyler and UK champion, Frankie is mad about sport and can currently be seen hosting Nickelodeon’s Slimetime UK, bringing the NFL to young audiences outside the US. With yet more exciting projects in the pipeline, the future looks bright for Frankie in 2024 and beyond.
Frankie has a long list of hobbies and interests, but here are a few of his favourites…
The son of an IT engineer, tech runs in Frankie’s blood. Having worked at a big tech company for several years, Frankie runs an Immersive Tech agency alongside his presenting work.
A lifelong football obsessive, Frankie has a strong grounding in the world of sports. His first job was as a professional football freestyler, and he is a former UK Champion.
