In 1997 Rhodri was the quizmaster on the now defunct L!VE TV's football quiz "A Game of Two Scarves" featuring fans and glamour models. He also hosted the station's talent show, Spanish Archer. The Welsh anchorman’s clean-cut image was tarnished in 2005 and his contract with Sky Sports was ‘terminated with immediate effect’ after a Sunday newspaper claimed it had footage of him and the disgraced former Blue Peter presenter John Leslie romping with a naked woman. In the past he has been a presenter on national radio sports station talkSPORT, presenting the Kick-off programme on Thursday from 7.00 to 10.00 pm and The Sunday Session. He was also the main rugby anchor for Setanta Sports. The Sunday Session has now been axed and Kick-Off was presented every day by Danny Kelly, with Stan Collymore as an assistant on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Away from the media he owns 3 successful businesses in Cardiff. He hosted various shows on Setanta Sports News in his spare time, mostly weekend evenings, the channel has now ceased broadcasting. Rhodri presented both talkSPORT's and ITV Wales' coverage of the Rugby World Cup 2007. He is also the son of famed Welsh TV (S4C) presenter/weather girl Jenny Ogwen
