Chris Kirby was a contestant in Series 60 and 90. At the time of his 2009 appearances, he was finishing his A-Levels and about to start a degree in History and English at Liverpool John Moores University. As of his 2024 appearances, he was from Widnes, Cheshire working as a Key Account Manager for the UK/Nordics division of the US construction equipment supplier Illinois Tool Works and he has now qualified for the end-of-series finals. He has also been an Apterite since 2009.
Appearances
Series 60
Chris first appeared towards the very end of Series 60, where two wins were notched up before he ultimately became unstuck against eventual Series 61 series finalist Jacqueline Baker, who solved the crucial conundrum MEDIALUST to relegate Chris to defeat.
Series 90
Virtually 15-and-a-half years later and with a considerable amount of time on Apterous now under his belt, Kirby returned and kicked off with a century in a very convincing second debut against fellow returnee Jane Bates whom he held to under 10 points despite not gambling on the very much valid OUTSTARES in the final letters round. He then followed that up with four more victories; the last one certified his progression to the end-of-series finals later in December.
