Chris Moyles’s Early Life
Chris Moyles was born Christopher David Moyles on February 22, 1974, in Leeds, West Riding of Yorkshire, England. Hannah and Christopher Moyles raised him; Christopher worked as a mail carrier. Kieron is Chris’s older brother.
After beginning his broadcasting career as a high school student at WBHS (Wakefield’s Broadcast to Hospitals Service) in West Yorkshire, where Moyles had previously worked, he enrolled in Mount St. Mary’s Catholic High School.
When Chris’s time at WBHS was through, he went to work for Aire FM as DJ Carl Kingston’s assistant. Around this time, he also worked for the Leeds Briggate branch’s Radio Top Shop as a presenter. Moyles hosted the Saturday evening program on Aire FM, and in 1992, he became a presenter at Radio Luxembourg.
After being let go from the Pulse of West Yorkshire in 1993, he went on to host the evening program at Signal 1 in Stoke-on-Trent until he was let go there in 1994.
In 1995, Chris presented the evening show on the Chiltern Radio Network and eventually began presenting the late show. He hosted “The Late Bit,” a weekend show, at London’s Capital FM in 1996, and in 1997, he joined Radio 1.
Chris Moyles’s Career
Moyles began presenting “The Early Bit” on Radio 1 in 1997, and that year “SKY” magazine voted him one of the “Faces for 97.” For Radio 1, he hosted several shows, frequently in collaboration with David “Comedy Dave” Vitty.
He began presenting “The Chris Moyles Show” on Radio 1 in 2004, and readers of “The Sun” voted him DJ of the Year. When “Radio 1’s Longest Show Ever with Chris Moyles and Comedy Dave for Comic Relief” aired for 52 hours in March 2011, it raised £2,821,831 and set a new record for Radio 1’s longest continuous show.
In 2009, he climbed Mount Kilimanjaro to benefit Comic Relief. Chris stated in July 2011 that he will be leaving the radio station in September. In September 2015, “The Chris Moyles Show” began broadcasting on Radio X in the breakfast slot.
Chris’s television work includes hosting Channel 5’s “Live With Chris Moyles” in 2002, co-hosting UK Play’s “The Chris Moyles Show” with Vitty from 1998 to 1999, and narrating multiple episodes of Sky1’s “The Villa.”
Chris has been a host on several shows, including “Big Brother’s Big Mouth,” “The Big Breakfast,” and “Chris Moyles’ Quiz Night,” which aired on Channel 4 from 2009 to 2012. He was a semi-finalist on the 2006 season of “The X Factor: Battle of the Stars,” and he had a guest role on “Hotel Babylon” the following year.
After appearing on BBC One’s “Who Do You Think You Are?” in 2009, he traveled to Belgium, where his grandfather died during World War I and Ireland in search of his family’s history. Moyles and British TV host Andi Peters won £25,000 in 2012 on “The Million Pound Drop” to donate to charity.
Chris Moyles’s Personal Life
Chris is in a relationship with Tiffany Austin, and they have reportedly been together since 2015. In May 2006, Moyles was accused of being homophobic when he said live on the air while rejecting a certain ringtone, “I don’t want that one, it’s gay.”
The Programme Complaints Committee responded to complaints from listeners by saying, “The word ‘gay’, in addition to being used to mean ‘homosexual’ or ‘carefree’, was often now used to mean ‘lame’ or ‘rubbish.’
Instead of meaning “homos*xual,” the DJ’s description of a ringtone as “gay” reflected his opinion that the ringtone was “rubbish.” Moyles’s comments were not homophobic.” The LGBT charity Stonewall subsequently demanded Chris’ dismissal and gave him their Bully of the Year award.
In 2009, Moyles spoke about filming “Who Do You Think You Are?” on his radio show, stating, “Unlike a lot of the ‘Who Do You Think You Are shows I didn’t go to Auschwitz, which is pretty much everybody goes there, whether or not they’re Jewish… If they are only passing through, like on the way to Florida or something, they will inevitably wind up there.”
The following statement was issued by the BBC in response to Moyles’ remarks: “Anyone who has heard him on the “Chris Moyles Show” will attest to his wacky sense of humor. However, we are engaging with Chris and his staff about how we feel his statements were misunderstood on this occasion.”
Reportedly, Moyles “claimed to be a second-hand auto trader in a bid to save up to £1 million in tax” in 2014. Chris addressed the allegations on Twitter, saying that he was told the scheme was legal. What’s more, “To be honest, I’m not a tax expert and just followed the instructions I was given. This was a mistake and I accept the ruling without reservation.”
Chris Moyles’s Awards and Honors
Chris got a Gold Sony Radio Award in 2006 and 2008, a Silver Sony Radio Award in 1998 and 2010, and a Bronze Sony Radio Award in 2009.
