In case you missed it: People tuning into Mastermind recently may have spotted a familiar face, as a local YouTuber dazzled Clive Myrie with his birds of prey knowledge – but scored an own goal in the general knowledge round.
Chris Dixon – AKA ‘Chris MD’ – is Jersey's very own internet sensation with more than 5.8m subscribers on YouTube where he is known for his football content.
Alongside Alistair McGowan, Laura Lexx and Holly Hamilton, Chris MD's immense YouTube fame saw him secure a place in the hot-seat opposite Clive Myrie in a celebrity edition of the popular quiz.
Chris was hoping to raise money for mental health charity Mind.
Citing his occupation as a "football influencer", it might surprise readers to learn that his specialist subject was in fact 'British Birds of Prey'.

Displaying some unexpected ornithological knowledge, he scored a hugely respectable seven points with no passes.
Unfortunately, however, he fumbled the general knowledge round.

Facing questions about the Alamo, green tea and gazumping, Chris only managed an extra four points.
Following his appearance on the show, Chris jokingly tweeted: "Always been good with the birds."
