Sandi Toksvig
Sandi Toksvig (born May 3, 1958 in Copenhagen) is a comedian and radio presenter famous in the United Kingdom.
Her father was a foreign reporter for a Danish television channel, and she spent most of her youth abroad.

She has appeared as a panellist in television shows such as Call My Bluff, and Whose Line Is It Anyway?, and radio shows such as I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue and The News Quiz. She frequently presents the travel-orientated radio show Excess Baggage and also presents a daily programme on London's LBC radio.
She supports the Liberal Democrats and has appeared on BBC Question Time.
She and her ex-partner, Peta, are mothers to three children.
