Biography

Freeman was born in 1980 in Leeds, England. He gained a Business Management degree from Durham University, and then moved to London to pursue his show-biz ambitions. In 1996, 236,000 people voted for him as TV HITS "Face of the Year".

In 2001 at the age of 21, after sending his audition tape to various TV organisations, he began to work as a TV auctioneer on Bid tv in September, presenting live on air five times a week. In January 2002 he began presenting for Sky Travel, in both recorded as well as a new live travel program.

In early 2004 Freeman left Bid tv to join rival shopping channel Auction World.tv. But in November 2004, the channel was closed down by OFCOM due to massive financial difficulties, non delivery of over £80,000 of paid orders, thousands of customer complaints and several fraud allegations plus 2 investigations by BBC TV programme 'Watch Dog' their flagship consumer show. 'Watch Dog' also dedicated a 30 minute episode to the masive catalogue of complaints ultimately leading to the largest fine (at that piont in time) handed out by the regulator OFCOM to a shopping channel in the UK.

In early 2005, after the collapse of Auction World, Freeman and Andy Sheldon, were recruited along with other ex employees to create iBuy. The channel was to try in vane to emulate the success of other dynamically priced shopping channels but it saldy followed quickly in Auction World footsteps. Adam Freeman was installed as the channel's Head of Presentation, and worked five days a week on air presenting whilst the operation sadly floundered from day one.

On 18 March, 2007, Freeman revealed on air that it was to be his final shift. It was revealed, that unlike many of the other staff at iBuy, he wasn't out of a job. Like the previous iBuy Head of Broadcasting, Andy Sheldon, Freeman will in fact be moving over to parent company HSN for employment in America. Whilst all of the other staff were left unemployed yet again.

Freeman made his first appearance on HSN in July 2007, but in the same week serious speculation has circulated throughout the industry that HSN are suffering from a serious down turn in sales. Many industry insiders understand that HSN are seroiusly considering winding up their US operation within the next six months to a year. Alternatively that they will have to remove their UK management team including Freeman and Sheldon who are being held directly responsible for this decline in sales.
