Believe it or not, Chico isn’t this Welshman’s real name. Yup, Chico was actually born Yousseph Slimani, and spent his formative years in between Morocco and the UK.
Before Chico shot to fame in the 2005 series of The X Factor, the singer tried out many professions - he was a hairdresser, an engineer, a dancer and a compeer singer.
But it was ITV1’s famous talent show that Chico became a household name, and his first single Chico Time knocked Madonna off the top of the charts. The star has many strings to his bow, has written a feature film, starred in BAFTA nominated flick Winner Takes All and does a lot of charity work.
So is he looking forward to the Celebair challenge?
“My head is frazzled and my mind is bedazzled. And all I can say to all the cabin crew out there is that I salute you and love you.
