  • Connagh Joseph "CJ" de Mooi (pronounced [d? mo?i?]; born Andrew Paul Booth on 5 November 1969) is a British professional quizzer and television personality.
  • He first appeared on television quiz show Eggheads in 2003, as one of five original members of the show's eponymous team.
  • In December 2011, de Mooi announced he had left Eggheads permanently to pursue an acting career.
  • He appeared in broadcast episodes until August 2012 and was replaced on the show by Dave Rainford.
  • However, he returned to a new, short-lived format of Eggheads in 2014 called Revenge of the Egghead.
  • He stated he returned because of his 'love of the show'.
  • He then returned to the main version of Eggheads replacing Daphne Fowler. In 2016, De Mooi was accused of sexual assault but was subsequently cleared.
  • He stated that he had been dismissed from Eggheads and had relocated to South Africa, to pursue a career in acting.
  • In September 2016 he was arrested on suspicion of a murder allegedly committed in 1988, under a European Arrest Warrant issued in the Netherlands, regarding claims reported to have been made in his autobiography.
  • In October 2016, a judge at Westminster Magistrates' Court declined the extradition request and said a European arrest warrant should never have been issued.
