Tom English should seriously stick to Rugby and get over his obsession about complaining about Celtic and the dynasty the club has founded upon the ashes of Armageddon. Can’t agree with this.

Thomas Stuart Chambers (born 22 May 1977) is an English actor, known for his role as Sam Strachan in the BBCmedical dramasHolby City and Casualty and as Max Tyler in BBC drama series Waterloo Road. He also won the sixth series of Strictly Come Dancing with his partner Camilla Dallerup.

Personal life[edit]

Chambers was born and raised in a small village called Darley Dale in Derbyshire and was educated at Repton School.

In December 2000, Chambers came close to death when the British Airways flight on which he was travelling from London to Nairobi was disrupted in a hijack attempt. Paul Mukonyi, a 27-year-old mental patient from Kenya, burst into the cockpit of the Boeing 747. As the cockpit crew fought to restrain Mukonyi, the auto-pilot became disengaged in the struggle, the jumbo was knocked off course and it plunged about 19,000 feet (5,800 m) with 398 passengers on board. The pilots recovered control of the aircraft and all passengers landed safely. Chambers described this as 'the most terrifying experience of my life'. It was this flight that caused him to seek out his teenage sweetheart, Clare Harding, and propose.^[2] The couple married in October 2008 in Derbyshire, having to change the date due to his commitments in Strictly Come Dancing.^{[citation needed]}

In 2008, Chambers took part in the Great Walk to Beijing organised by singer Olivia Newton-John in aid of breast cancer awareness and research.^[3]

Professional career[edit]

Chambers attended the National Youth Music Theatre and Guildford School of Acting. He has starred opposite Matthew Rhys and Kate Ashfield in the British film Fakers.^{[citation needed]}

Chambers' interest in dance led him to recreate the sequence from the 1937 RKO filmA Damsel in Distress in which Fred Astaire tap dances with a drum kit. The video was sent to casting directors and led to Chambers gaining a part in Holby City as cardiothoracic registrar Sam Strachan.^{[citation needed]} A video of the performance was posted on YouTube prior to his appearance on BBC's Strictly Come Dancing.^[4] He later uploaded a video diary of his rehearsals for the recording.^[5] When he left Holby City, the programme honoured him with a montage of his three years' work.^[6]

In May 2009, it was announced by Denise Welch on Loose Women that Chambers would be joining the fifth series of BBC drama, Waterloo Road as new Executive Head Teacher, Max Tyler, where he appeared in ten episodes.^{[citation needed]}

Chambers narrates the series The Real A&E broadcast daily on Sky1. In November 2011, Chambers starred in the stage version tour of Top Hat.^[7] Tom was interviewed in June 2012 with questions about his career and in particular his role in Top Hat^[8]

In 2014–2015, Chambers portrayed Inspector Sullivan in the BBC TV's Father Brown in two series (25 episodes).

In 2017–2018, Chambers returned to singing and dancing, starring as Bobby Child alongside Clare Sweeney and Charlotte Wakefield, touring the UK in the Watermill production of Crazy For You, the George and Ira Gershwin musical.

Strictly Come Dancing[edit]

Chambers competed in and won the sixth series of Strictly Come Dancing, paired with professional dancer Camilla Dallerup. The pair opened the series by performing the cha-cha-cha and scored 28 points. After being on top of the leaderboard twice in the series (joint first place with Lisa Snowdon in Week 5 and joint first with Snowdon and Cherie Lunghi in week 8), Chambers made it to the semi-finals of the competition, seeing off his apparently biggest challenger Austin Healey, with whom he shared a friendly rivalry. It was here, however, that Chambers' participation looked most in doubt, as he finished bottom of the leaderboard. However, he was reprieved when it became clear that a tie between the other two couples at the top of the leaderboard meant that there was no way for him to be saved from the dance-off, leading the BBC to put all three couples through to the final. In the final, Chambers beat Lisa Snowdon into third place, before competing head to head with Rachel Stevens in the final round, where his show dance with Dallerup was massively praised by the judges. It was announced that Chambers and Dallerup had gained the most public votes and won the show, making Chambers the third male winner of Strictly Come Dancing. It was Dallerup's first win on the show. On Christmas Day 2008, Chambers returned to partner Dallerup in the Christmas special; however, they came second from bottom of the leaderboard and were not voted into the final two by the studio audience. The pair have since appeared on the Strictly Come Dancing tour in early 2009 dancing the quickstep and the samba. In 2015, Chambers participated in the Christmas special,^[9] with professional dancer, Oti Mabuse.

Waterloo Road[edit]

In May 2009, Chambers joined the cast of the BBC Drama Waterloo Road. His first episode was episode 1 of the fifth series which first aired the week of 25 October 2009 portraying Executive headmaster Max Tyler, who is brought in to oversee the merger of Waterloo Road with local private school John Fosters. His distorted personality is progressively revealed, which climaxes in episode 5.10 where his true colours are finally revealed (when he hits a student) to the relief of the large majority of the school community, which results in his suspension.

Stage[edit]

Chambers originated the role of Jerry Travers in the UK production of Top Hat.^[10] The show opened on 16 August 2011 at the Milton Keynes Theatre, touring the United Kingdom before transferring to the Aldwych Theatre in London's West End. Chambers left the production on 4 February 2013.

In October 2019, it was announced that Chambers would star in the new touring production of Dial M for Murder as Tony Wendice.^[11]

What does it mean to be locked out?

• After a limited number of failed attempts to sign in to Twitter, you will be temporarily locked out from trying to sign in. When your account is locked, you will not be able to sign in — even with the correct password.
• This lock lasts about an hour and will then clear on its own.

If the lock does not clear after an hour

1. Disable your third-party applications, like Tweetdeck, Hootsuite, widgets, etc. (Only re-enable the applications you've disabled after you've confirmed you can sign in at twitter.com.)
2. Wait an hour.
3. After an hour has passed, check to confirm that you can sign in successfully at https://twitter.com/login. If you can't remember your password, you can request a new password here.
4. If you don't receive a password reset email and still cannot remember your password, read login troubleshooting tips.

Why does Twitter lock accounts?

Twitter limits the number of times that someone can try signing in to an account for security reasons. We don't want to give hackers unlimited attempts at guessing your password. So, we block them from trying after a while.

I didn't trigger the lock. Was my account compromised?

• If user's account appears to be hacked or phished, we may proactively reset the passwords for the affected accounts to revoke access to the hacker. In these cases, we send an email to the account's real owner (you) with additional information on how to reset the password. If you got one of these emails, please follow the instructions in the email.
• If you think your account has been hacked or phished, find additional information on compromised accounts.

What if I keep getting locked out and I use TweetDeck?

• If you're using TweetDeck and are locked out of your account, please sign out of and close TweetDeck entirely. You will not be able to verify or change your new password in TweetDeck while you are locked out, and keeping TweetDeck open may be causing your ongoing locks. Wait an hour and then confirm that you can sign in on twitter.com.
• Once you've logged in successfully at twitter.com, open TweetDeck and go immediately to Preferences and then Accounts. Select your account, then verify and save your correct password.
