As a Sky News presenter, Chris was on air the night the Iraq war began and also on the morning of the terror attacks on London. He's also presented shows in the field including from a devastated northern Sumatra after the tsunami disaster and from New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. 

Before joining Sky News in 1998 Chris was a field producer and then a reporter with ITN covering events in Afghanistan, Bosnia, Cambodia, India, Iraq, Pakistan, the United States, Zaire, Zimbabwe and across the Far East where he lived for four years.

He started his career as a BBC and Independent local radio reporter during which time he got his first break into covering major stories when he reported on the fall of the Berlin Wall.
