About

Ortis Deley is an experienced TV presenter best known for hosting Channel 5’s new series Shop Smart, Save Money and The Gadget Show.

Ortis is an energetic and likeable character, which has kept him working as a television presenter for over 30 years. His TV career started on Trouble TV as a main anchor before he moved across to children's TV as a presenter on the popular Short Change, alongside Angelica Bell and Andi Peters. Ortis then became part of the CBBC family, going on to present Why 5, X-perimental, Making It, Xchange, and Live & Kicking, all for CBBC.

The move away from children’s television was seamless for Ortis and began when he was asked to host a pilot for Tomorrow’s World on BBC One. Shortly after this, Ortis joined the presenting line-up on The Gadget Show, where he remained as part of the team for over a decade. More recently, Ortis was asked to present Channel 5’s new consumer series, Shop Smart, Save Money, alongside Angelica Bell, making it 19 years since they first appeared on our screens together.

Ortis has also been part of Channel 5’s Police Interceptors team and the Secrets of the Bermuda Triangle, presenting both series alongside Rick Edwards. He also contributed to Ancient Top 10 for the History Channel, a programme which looked at the origins of technology.

He has appeared as a guest technology reporter on BBC One’s The One Show, BBC Breakfast News, Watchdog, The Saturday Show, The Alan Titchmarsh Show, and Daybreak for ITV1; as well as a guest panelist on Never Mind the Buzzcocks for BBC 2 and Channel 5’s The Jeremy Vine Show.

Acting is another skill of Ortis’, which is evident from his credits - he has acted in ITV series The Bill, Silent Witness and Doctors on BBC One, and several CBBC dramas. He starred opposite Clive Owen & Jennifer Aniston in Derailed, and Rafe Spall in cult flick Kidulthood.

As an accomplished corporate host, Ortis has worked with many brands and companies, including Avast, Optima, eBay, BT, and GTR Network, to name a few.

Ortis’ love of science and technology began when he was a child who was very much into sci-fi and comic books. He is a self-confessed bona fide geek. Ortis also has an honours degree in pharmacy and is a qualified personal trainer.

Away from work, Ortis is passionate about all things whisky - travelling the world, exploring, learning, and discovering the cultures of whisky across the globe.
