  From the USA Masters Golf to the World Cup, to Royal Ascot and Wimbledon, Chris Hollins is recognised as one of television's most popular sports presenters.

  Always up for a challenge, Chris has taken part in 大象传媒 One's Celebrity MasterChef and learnt a whole ice skating routine for 大象传媒 One's New Year's Eve celebrations! 2009 brought a whole new challenge however, as Chris took part in Series 7 of Strictly Come Dancing for 大象传媒 One. With 16 couples, 14 weeks, 654 hours of training and 17 dances to learn, Chris was the only contestant to never be in the dance-off and his popularity with the public finally led to him lifting the glitterball trophy!

  He says of his own magazine: "By and large it's pretty critical of many things including the art establishment. It combines serious commentary and slapstick entertainment while publishing opinions other art magazines are too restrained to entertain. Contemporary art is a lot more diverse than the art establishment would have us believe."

  He said recently: "I do not have 'dos and don'ts' about how or why art is created. But art isn't about just being creative - I can make an omelette out of broken glass, it might make me creative but it doesn't make me a chef. Art can be anything and everything, except bad."
