Chris did try for a career as a skater with the ' Holiday on ice' troupe, but a nasty slip on Skates ,whilst performing the splits, emasculated him, so in order to preserve his other 'Albert Hall' , he had to give up his ice dancing career.
Even now he shudders when offered a raspberry ripple ice cream !

Chris Rea was due to appear in the original Shake N Vac advert, but got his beard caught in the vacuum cleaner during filming.

In addition, his gravelly rendition of the Shake N Vac song sounded enough like Lou Reed's Perfect Day that the producers were worried about having to pay royalties each time the ad aired.

Further historical evidence has come to light that Chris Rea was not only visiting Haworth in the 1840's, but as well as turning Branwell into a drug addled alcoholic, he was also having "relations" with Emily, Charlotte & Anne Bronte, as if that wasn't bad enough he would also disappear off to around 1810, where he was also seeing Jane Austen as well

It is expected the Donald Trump will cancel the Artemis program and enlist Chris Rea to give astronauts a lift to the moon in the TURDIS. Recent sightings of a mysterious British phone box parked in the middle of the 18th green at Mar a Lago seem to add credence to the rumours.

Following a collision with an E scooter outside St Pancras Station, Chris Rea has had his pancreas removed. He can no longer eat pancakes or travel in a Fiat Panda. His favourite album of pan pipe music is now for sale on eBay. He's dreading the next pandemic.
