Look at Me

They are arguably the funniest thing on Channel 4. Affectionately dubbed the “Gogglebox Gays”, Chris and Stephen won the hearts of the nation in that first series and despite chops and changes to the programme they’ve managed to prove they’ve got staying power. We caught up with Brighton local Chris Steed to talk Space Docking, Cher’s retirement to a garden centre and the strangest thing he’s ever heard about himself.

JH: What should Cher do next?

CHRIS: Oh, god. Oh well, finally retire. She’s been retiring for the last ten years! I mean what do most people do when they actually retire from something? Join the National Trust and start going to garden centres like most people that retire do.

JH: Okay, which one of the Village People, do you think would be best in bed?

CHRIS: Oh, I would probably say the policeman. I’ll tell you why, they’ve got a bit of authority, haven’t they. I always like a man in uniform. Maybe they could get the handcuffs out.

JH: How do you feel about men in onesies?

CHRIS: Oh I love a onesie. I’ve got a onesie. I definitely like a man in a onesie. One zip and it’s all off.

JH: Are you a Zip Up or A Zip Down?

CHRIS: Ooh, I think a zip down is nicer actually because you kind of work yourself down to the main bit. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, I’d say a zip downer. It’s nice to see the chest first and then sort of down to, you know, the main bits.

JH: What’s the most outrageous thing you’ve ever bought, apart from a house or a car?
