Chris was born in Leeds on the 22nd of February 1974, to an Irish mother and an English dad, who works for the Post Office. He began his radio career working for a hospital radio station in his hometown Leeds, before joining Aire FM at the tender age of 16. He then worked for various radio stations, including Chiltern, Luxembourg, and Capital FM, before landing his dream job at BBC Radio One in 1997, with his comedy sidekick Dave Vitty. His abrasive style has led to him upsetting most of the other Radio One DJs at some point, most notably Mark Goodier and Nicky Campbell. Chris has turned down two offers to join Virgin Radio, by its owner Chris Evans who is a fan of Moyles. He was also offered a job presenting "The Big Breakfast" (1992) but turned it down as he didn't want to give up his radio show. Chris dated tv presenter Ana Boulter for a couple of years, but they split up in December 2001.
