Chris Ditchburn is a British actor and TV presenter who can currently be found presenting Roulette on Live Roulette TV each week on Sky Digital channel 847. Chris was born in Birmingham on 21st April 1962

Early Years

The second youngest of five children, in his youth, Chris was interested in guitar, snooker and gymnastics. Upon leaving school he entered the casino business, becoming a fully licensed croupier at the age of just 19. He spent the next 8 years working in both British and Dutch casinos. Chris was first nicknamed "The Hole" when he was eleven by his friends who took the mickey out of him for his hilarious surname, Ditchburn. The reasoning behind this nickname was that a ditch was basically just a hole, just an empty space. This nickname upset Chris very much as a child, and it was one of the reasons why he took an interest in acting- acting meant he could pretend to be someone other than merely The Hole.

Acting

Chris has appeared in many popular series on British television, including Eastenders, The Bill, and Spooks.

Presenting

In July 2005 Chris joined the team of Vegas 247, now Live Roulette TV. With his experience of working as a croupier, he rapidly became one of the main stars of the show, and his partnership with Rebecca Nasir is credited by many long time players as one of the key factors in the channels growth from a digital TV experiment to a show now available on-line with a world-wide following. {fact}
