Who is Chris Ramsey?
Born on August 3, 1986, 34-year-old Chris is a comedian from South Shields, the same home town as Jade and Perrie.
He left his film and media degree at Sunderland University in order to pursue his stand-up comedy and acting career.
His career began with him hosting an open mic night in Newcastle in 2007 and then a year later he was nominated for Chortle's Student Comedian of the Year award.
Two years later things went up a notch when Chris took his show Aggrophobic to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where he returned a year later with follow up Offermation.
That show was recorded for BBC Radio 4 and in the same year it was broadcast, Chris scored another Fringe hit with Feeling Lucky, which he then took on a national tour.
Chris hit the small screen in Hebburn at the end of 2012, with the BBC2 series written by his good friend and fellow South Shields comedian Jason Cook. It screened for two series and a Christmas special.
At the end of 2016, following on from a number of national stand up tours, Chris was chosen to host I'm A Celebrity spin-off Extra Camp alongside Vicky Pattison.
