Apparently Chris was fired from 2 jobs for abusive behaviour towards female colleagues. (Sunday Mirror.)
It is reported he tried to strangle a cabaret singer when they worked together on a cruise ship. His co star said "Chris flipped and his eyes were burning red. I screamed as he grabbed me around the throat"
He was also fired from a debt collection firm after being accused of lunging across a desk at a female manager. "Chris was dismissed for serious misconduct."
Another ex - workmate said: "That isn't the real Maloney you see on TV, he's got a temper on him. I'm surprised people haven't seen through him. If someone said something he didn't like, you could see it in his eyes".
