Occupation: Broadcaster
Radio presenter Christian is best known as host of late night Channel 4 show The Word, the must-see post-pub TV show for Britain¢s ¢yoof¢ in the 1990s.
Other presenters on the music and chat show, famous for its toe-curling stunts and shambolic guests, were comedian Mark Lamarr, Dani Behr, Katie Puckrik, Amanda de Cadenet and Hufty.
In the days before TV was swamped with unknown wannabes, the programme featured a section called The Hopefuls in which people did repulsive acts in order to be featured.
Memorable performances from stars included a slurred rendition of Wild Thing from a bare-chested Oliver Reed, who was interviewed by Christian as someone waved a plastic dinosaur behind Reed¢s head.
Another encounter saw rapper Snoop Dogg looking unsettled as he met Rod Hull and Emu on the show. Behr recently appeared as a contestant on I¢m A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!.
Gobby Mancunian Christian lists his interests on MySpace as 'depravity of almost all kinds'. Christian thinks someone on the street would probably say he is the annoying t**t who did The Word.
