Adrian Adepitan MBE
Ade Adepitan MBE
(born 27 March 1973) is a British television presenter and
wheelchair basketball player. He is a wheelchair user because he
contracted polio aged three. Although without the use of his left
leg, it has left him with strong arms, which allow him to be a keen
diver.
Adepitan was a member of the Great Britain team that won the bronze medal at the 2004 Summer Paralympics in Athens and the gold medal at the 2005 Paralympic World Cup in Manchester, United Kingdom. Adepitan was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) for services to disability sport in 2005.
He was also presented with an Honorary Doctorate from Loughborough University, in recognition of his outstanding services to, and performances in, disabled sport. Ade is patron of disability sport charity, WheelPower who are based at Stoke Mandeville Stadium, the birthplace of the Paralympics. He is also one of the patrons of Go Kids Go! (formerly the Association of Wheelchair Children) which teaches young wheelchair-users to be independently mobile.
Adepitan works
as a very enthusiastic television presenter for the BBC. He has
hosted shows including Xchange on the CBBC Channel and has reported
for Sportsround and the travel show Holiday. He also appeared on
the BBC One "Hip-Hop" ident as the lead dancer. Adepitan has
occasionally provided analysis for Five's NBA basketball coverage,
alongside MarkWebster and Andre Alleyne.
In 2005 he appeared in Beyond Boundaries in Nicaragua, crossing the country with other disabled people. In 2006, Adepitan featured in the CBBC drama Desperados about a wheelchair basketball team. He was also a commentator for wheelchair basketball for the BBC at the 2008 Summer Paralympics in Beijing. He was presented with the Lifetime Achievement award by the University of East London in 2010.
