About Chris Hollins
Chris Hollins is a highly versatile television presenter and former sports correspondent who became a household name as the winner of Strictly Come Dancing. Having established his reputation as the primary sports reporter for BBC Breakfast, he also co-presented Olympic Breakfast during the London 2012 Games. Beyond the sports desk, his diverse broadcasting portfolio includes hosting the consumer rights programme Watchdog, the factual series Secret Britain and the lifestyle show Cash In the Attic. He has also contributed to major national broadcasts including the Diamond Jubilee and Children in Need.
His current sports broadcasting work involves lead roles for BT Sport, where he covers Premiership Rugby 7s, the FIH Hockey Champions Trophy and Moto GP events. Throughout his career, which began at Sky Sports and included reporting for Grandstand and Football Focus, he has remained an active figure in the sporting community. Outside of his media work, he serves as an ambassador for the Gold Challenge, a legacy initiative from the 2012 Olympics that encourages participants to raise money for charity by attempting various Olympic and Paralympic disciplines.
Drawing on an athletic background that saw him play football for QPR and Aldershot, as well as cricket for Oxford, he brings a disciplined yet charismatic energy to the stage. Organisations choose to book him for his professional delivery, warm rapport with audiences and his proven ability to anchor high-profile live events and ceremonies with confidence.
