Michael Sundin (March 1, 1961 - July 23, 1989) was a television presenter, actor, dancer and trampolinist. He is best remembered for his short spell as a Blue Peter presenter.

He was born at Low Fell, Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, UK, son of Alan and Joyce Sundin and brother to David. After winning five British titles and one World title in British & World Trampolining, he first entered showbusiness in 1980 when he appeared in the pantomime Jack and the Beanstalk with Barbara Windsor. He went on to make various television and theatre appearances both as an actor and dancer, and this led to a long run in the Cameron Mackintosh musical Cats, in which he played Bill Bailey in the West End from 1982-1983.

In 1984 he began rehearsing the character Tik-Tok for the Walt Disney children-s fantasy Return to Oz and this was covered by the long-running BBC children's magazine programme Blue Peter. Sundin impressed the editor, Biddy Baxter, and was invited to audition for the presenter vacancy left by Peter Duncan. It was his fortune that one of the audition items was to interview someone on a trampoline, and he presented his first programme on September 13, 1984.

After fronting 77 episodes, the editors and production team decided not to renew Sundin's contract after the summer break because they felt that he had little rapport with the viewers and some parents complained about his perceived effeminacy. He presented his last show on 24 June 1985. Michael was very unhappy about this decision and made his feelings known in the tabloid press. In October 1985, The Daily Mirror printed photographs of him taking part in, what was exaggeratingly described as, a videotaped gay sex show at London-s Hippodrome Theatre.

Sundin subsequently appeared in the 1987 film Lionheart (on which he was incorrectly credited as "Michel Sundin"). After a UK theatre tour of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and a Japanese/Australian tour of Starlight Express in 1987-1988, Michael fell ill. At the age of just 28, he died in the Newcastle General Hospital, Newcastle upon Tyne. The Times newspaper reported that he died of cancer of the liver (26 July 1989), but in fact his death was AIDS related and a decision was made that this information would not be released to the press.
