SPOTLIGHT FACT
Chris was one of the original lineup of CBeebies
presenters
Many people my age will remember Chris from CBBC and then in later years as the guy from
CBeebies but this guy is more than just CBeebies he's a panto star! Having performed in so
many pantomime shows over the years to the highest standard it now shows he's one of the
best around. Having been a comic in the past and now a dame he always brings the best to
every show. Not only does Chris perform panto but he's also a creative, directing and writing
some of the best shows in the country! I was also lucky to talk with Chris in our CUPPA CHAT
series! What a guy! I'd really recommend watching it and listening to the stories!
