Favourite Style of Music
Chris grew up listening to Michael Jackson and has since become a massive fan of Justin Timberlake. He recently saw Justin in concert and was inspired by his dance moves. 'He does my kind of dancing' Chris says. Vocally, he aspires to sing like Stevie Wonder or Jack Johnson.

On Performing
In his early career Chris was part of a boy band called Naughty, touring the pubs and clubs of Manchester. As well as singing, Chris is a talented drummer and he also enjoys teaching himself guitar. In fact, Chris says, "I can pretty much get a tune out of any instrument… except the violin."

On taking part
He enjoyed watching Soapstar Superstar recently and thought to himself, "Yeah I could do that!" Shortly after he got a call from his agent asking if he'd like to do Just The Two Of Us and he jumped at the chance to show the nation he can sing.

The Two of Us
Chris' ideal partner would have to be 'cool, preferably a Hip Hop, R&B or Soul singer'. He wants his partner to be able to push him; he doesn't want an easy ride! He wants to learn as much as he can and hopefully win the competition.
