Craig is from Uddingston, on the outskirts of Glasgow, and is the youngest of four boys. He started a career in medical laboratory sciences but after three years he returned to student life to study media. He does miss the white coat though!

Chris Tarrant joined ATV as a junior news reporter in the early-1970s, but says that he soon discovered that hard news was not his cup of tea. Instead, he took on the mantle of action man for 'ATV Today' and got involved in a hands-on way with scores of wacky stories. He specialised in light-hearted and 'zany' items with fellow ATV partner in crime John Swallow and together managed to hunt down a huge number of the Midlands' eccentrics for the entertainment of ATV viewers.
This slapstick approach to news prepared him well for one of his best remembered television roles, as presenter of ATV's Saturday morning kids' show 'Tiswas', which, at first, ran for several years in the Midlands region before being nationally networked in the late-1970s and early-1980s. Chris and his team went on to produce an 'adult' version of the programme for ATV's successors, Central Television, but the programme was panned by the critics and failed to attract sufficient viewers, leading to it being dropped from the schedules.
For ATV, Chris also narrated the respected schools' programme, 'Stop, Look, Listen' in the 1970s.
He went on to become Britain's highest earning radio DJ on London's Capital Radio, and also a presenter of TV-am's 'Good Morning Britain', hosting the summer roadshows. Chris presented several national programmes for ITV, including 'Tarrant On TV' before finding his niche as host of the extremely popular 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire'.
