From Porridge to I’m A Celebrity, Christopher Biggins has graced our screens for over thirty years. This multi talented actor, humorist, writer and national treasure counts the worlds most glamorous stars as his best friends and brings his own inimitable sense of humour and warmth to any production.
In 2020 Christopher has been seen across BBC, ITV, Ch4 and Ch5 to name but a few, ending 2020 with a bang staring in ITV This Morning’s Pantomime, and the celebrity Christmas edition of BBC’s The Wheel and across Global Radio in their Pantomime, not forgetting Celebrity Masterchef. In 2019, Christopher appeared on ITV’s primetime hit show Gone To Pot, Channel 5’s Five Celebrities Go To Lapland, Celebrity 100% Hotter and was a regular on The Wright Stuff.

Christopher was a regular panellist on BBC2’s Debatable, was a special guest on ITV1’s Live at The Palladium, won thousands for charity on DAVE’s Celebrity Storage Hunters and voiced Channel 5 panel show It’s Not Me, It’s You.
Christopher won over a huge new audience when he was crowned King Of The Jungle after winning series 7 of the hit ITV1 show, I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here but his career began many years earlier.
He started his training at Salisbury Repertory Theatre and later at Bristol Old Vic as a prelude to his first West End appearance – creating the role of Head Jumbly in The Owl and The Pussycat Went to Sea.
