Christopher Francis 'Chris' Stark (born 12 March 1987) is a British radio personality, best known for his work as a contributor on the Scott Mills show on BBC Radio 1.
Radio career
Chris started working in hospital radio at the age of 16, and gained experience working at stations including Galaxy, Real Radio, Virgin Radio and BBC 6 Music. At 18 Chris started at Southampton University where he was given his own show on the student radio station Surge. It was here that he started to become known for the stunts that would later become daily features on Radio 1.
He officially joined the Scott Mills show team on 2 April 2012, but occasionally appeared on the show as 'Scott's friend Chris' for a long period of time prior to this. Chris participates in most of the show's current features including Real or No Real and Innuendo Bingo. He is perhaps best known for the feature 24 Years at the Tap End, where he reads extracts from his "autobography." The title refers to his on-air realisation, at age 24, that he had been sitting at the wrong end of the bath. Chris recounts memorable events from his "years at the tap end" which often include mistakes made and life lessons learned through adventures with his friends.
Other works
Chris is also an accomplished club DJ, something he has done from the age of 15. It was during his time as a resident DJ at Southampton University that he met Scott Mills, their friendship leading Scott to involve Chris more and more in his radio show.
