Peedle-Calloo has been deaf since birth. With a hearing aid he can hear a little, but most of the time he can't be bothered to wear it. He doesn't identify his deafness as a disability, but as himself being part of a linguistic minority. BSL is his first language, and English ("written and spoken") are his second language [cite web|title=Ouch website - One in Seven|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/ouch/wyp/oneinseven.shtml|publisher=BBC] .

He graduated from Wolverhampton University with a 2:1 degree in Electronic Media in October 2000.

In January 2001 he began a five month backpacking trip around the world<. During the trip he got engaged to girlfriend, Deaf actress Diana Martin. After returning from his trek he applied to the BBC and Channel 4 for work. It was after this that he was offered a job working on "See Hear".

In 2005 he was successful in winning "Best Male Presenter" at the Remark! Film & TV Awards.
