Patrick Aryee
Patrick Aryee (born November 1985) is a British-Ghanaian TV presenter, biologist and voiceover artist. He is best known for presenting a wide range of TV documentaries on both BBC and Sky. Aryee has a degree in Cancer Biology (University of Bristol), and a masters in Science Communication (University of the West of England). In 2014 he won the New On Screen Talent award at the RTS West Awards for his presenting debut in Super Senses: The Secret Power of Animals.
Career[edit]
After beginning his career working behind the scenes on a host of BBC documentaries, including Frozen Planet and Attenborough: 60 Years in the Wild, Aryee found success in presenting his own documentaries. In 2018 he joined the Springwatch team as a guest presenter; he's also been a regular contributor to The One Show and Countryfile.
As well as presenting on the BBC, Aryee has become one of Sky’s leading nature presenters. He fronted the Amazing Animal Family titles across three series; Big Cats (2015), Monkeys (2016) and Dogs (2017). This led to two spin-off series for the Sky Kids app, Wild Files: Big Cats, and Wild Files: Monkeys & Apes. In 2018, he presented Big Beasts: Land of the Giants [1] where he took on arguably his most daring wildlife challenge yet, freediving with a sperm whale.
When Sky Nature launched in June 2020, his three part series Wild Animals Babies premiered as the first original produced by Sky made exclusively for the new channel.[2]
Aryee is an ambassador for the RSPCA.[3]
