And Chris told Insider that he is getting fed up with fame and wants to tell people to “f**king relax”.

He added: “I’ve no interest in it. In fame. Absolutely none. Now okay, when you start doing well, there’s a novelty to it that’s kind of exciting.

“It’s like nothing you’ve ever experienced. It’s great. But now, it’s not something that attracts me in anyway.

“The shriekers. I have no time for shriekers. It all feels so f**king fake. ‘Yea, I tell jokes on television, f**king relax.’ There’s so many shriekers. Like, generally, 13-year-old girls tend to shriek.

“And I want to be nice about it, I do, because they are excited but you think, ‘just f**king calm down’. Everybody has gone fame mad.

“If somebody said to me I didn’t have to be famous, I’d be delighted. But I love my job so much that it’s one of the consequences of it.”
