Viewers will know Chris as a presenter on Sky Sports and Ninja Warrior UK.

He is also a former player for teams like Swindon Town, Leeds United and Brentford.
As well as playing football, Chris also managed teams like Bradford City and Stoke City.
But instead of being the new local celebrity, Chris arrives as the manager of an opposing football team, and soon finds himself on the wrong side of the villagers as things get heated on the pitch.
As the big village football match gets underway everyone’s competitive side comes out when Bear Wolf’s team realise Chris is the manager of the opposing team.
The newly formed Emmerdale football team, which includes Doug Potts and Jimmy King, come up against Chris’s team from a neighbouring village.
But when everyone realises who their manager is, the team suddenly become desperate to impress the famous football legend.
