Phil Tufnell (Contestant)
Born: April 29, 1966 in Barnet, London
Best Known For: His glittering cricket career and various TV appearances.
Early-life: Philip Clive Roderick Tufnell was born in Barnet, London, on April 29, 1966. He went to Highgate School where his cricketing prowess was recognised and he was appointed captain of the Junior School's First XI despite the fact he was not yet in the top year. On leaving Highgate he attended, and played cricket for, Southgate School. He then trained as a quantity surveyor, but remained associated with the sport and eventually dropped his original career choice.
Career: A slow left-arm orthodox spin bowler, 'Tuffers' as he was known played 42 Tests and 20 One Day International matches for England, as well as playing for Middlesex from 1986 to 2002. He took 121 Test wickets as an England bowler, but it is his good-humour and occasionally outrageous behaviour that made him a popular sports personality. Following his retirement in 2002, Tufnell has built on his popularity with several TV appearances. These include I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! which he won, They Think It's All Over, A Question of Sport, The One Show and Strictly Come Dancing. In early 2015, he was a contestant on Channel 4 reality series The Jump.
Quote: On fame: 'A 25-stone hairy bloke asked me to sign his bum. I ran a mile!'
Trivia: In 2011, he received an Honorary Doctorate from Middlesex University.
Chris Hollins (Contestant)
Best Known For: Being a TV presenter and winning Strictly Come Dancing.
Early-life: Christopher Jonathan Hollins was born in London on March 20, 1971. His father is former Chelsea footballer John Hollins and his uncle, David Hollins, was a goalkeeper with Newcastle United. After leaving school, Chris played football for Charlton, Queens Park Rangers and Aldershot Town, before attending Durham University and Oxford University.
Career: Hollins began his TV presenting career at London TV station Channel One TV before moving to Sky Sports in 1994. For the BBC, he has reported for Grandstand, Football Focus and Breakfast. He has also reported on the 2002 and 2010 World Cups and the Masters golf in 2007. Other presenting roles include stints on Cash in the Attic, The One Show, Watchdog, The Great British Weather and Food Inspectors. In 2009, Hollins won Strictly Come Dancing with his professional partner Ola Jordan.
Quote: 'If you're going to be a journalist working for BBC news, you can't be a nice guy. If you don't ask abrasive questions then I don't think you're doing your job properly.'
Trivia: In 2008, Hollins became a patron of children's cancer charity CLIC Sargent.
Tim Wonnacott (Narrator)
Born: May 06, 1953 in Barnstaple, Devon
Best Known For: Bargain Hunt.
Early-life: Tim was born in Barnstaple, Devon, on May 6, 1953. He attended auctions from a young age and his first experience of auctioneering came when he was 16 at a farm sale when he sold the contents of a kitchen. He qualified as a Chartered Auctioneer and Chartered Surveyor and furthered his interest in fine art by completing a postgraduate course at the Victoria and Albert Museum's study centre for the Fine and Decorative Arts.
Career: In 1978, Wonnacott joined Sotheby's in London, becoming a junior director in 1983 and a full director in 1985. His work for the auction house was primarily in the furniture department, where he developed his knowledge of clocks, barometers, 19th-century sculpture and works of art, ceramics and silver. He left Sotheby's in January 2003 after 25 years to start his own fine art agency and brokerage business and further his media ambitions. He first began appearing regularly on TV in the early 1990s as an expert on Antiques Roadshow. His big break came in 2003 when he replaced David Dickinson as the host of Bargain Hunt. He has made guest appearances on a number of shows such as Test the Nation, Going for a Song, The Great Antiques Hunt, and Royal Upstairs Downstairs. In 2014, he signed up to appear as a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing.
Quote: 'One of the reasons I am good at what I do is because I love what I do. I'm an expert in this business because that's what I've done all my life.'
Trivia: In 2002, he helped raise more than £400,000 for Childline at an auction in London.
