Theyre so warm and likeable that theyve made roughly 20 TV shows between them in the past ten years. Proving that smart is indeed the new sexy, both van Tullekens are highly qualified doctors researching and treating infectious diseases, while their shows tend to involve hair-raising, death-defying or body-hacking challenges — all carried off with inexhaustible good humour in the name of science. Indeed, at the age of 36, their bucket list is as short as Chris stubble: to date theyve trekked to the North Pole, shoved spikes through their tongues and even won a BAFTA.
