Biography
John-James Chalmers is a Scottish television presenter and Invictus Games medallist. He was injured in a bomb blast in Afghanistan in 2011, while serving as a Royal Marine.
Media career
Chalmers subsequently presented National Paralympic Day for Channel 4, as well as an online show for the 2015 IPC Athletics World Championships in Doha. In July 2016, he returned to the 2016 Invictus Games as an ambassador, telling his story at the opening ceremony as well as working with the BBC in their coverage of the games.
Chalmers featured on The Superhumans Show before travelling to Rio de Janeiro as a presenter for Channel 4's coverage of the 2016 Summer Paralympics, as well as appearing as a guest on The Last Leg series Live from Rio. After returning from Rio he hosted the Team GB Olympics and Paralympics Homecoming Parade in Manchester, alongside Mark Chapman and Helen Skelton.
Owing to his background as a Royal Marine, Chalmers presented The People Remember, with Sophie Raworth a series shown throughout the week of remembrance, before appearing on the BBC's coverage of Remembrance at the Cenotaph.
Also in 2016 Chalmers was co-commentator of the Lord Mayor's Show on BBC One.
On 21 February 2017, Chalmers began presenting some of the sports segments on the BBC News channel and BBC Breakfast. He joined the BBC Sport Team, working as a presenter and reporter on events like the Great North, Great Manchester Run and The London Marathon. He also joined The One Show as a features reporter.
2017 also saw Chalmers begin working in radio, as part of BBC Radio 5 Live's, World Para Athletics coverage of London 2017, as well as presenting the Sports Journalists Award nominated radio documentary, To Helmand and Back. He ended the year presenting the 2017 Invictus Games, held in Toronto.
In 2018 he worked as a trackside reporter for BBC Sport at the World Athletics Indoor Championships, then as 5 Live's main reporter of the 2018 Winter Paralympics in Pyeongchang, before presenting for BBC Sport's coverage of the Commonwealth Games in the Gold Coast and the 2018 Invictus Games in Sydney.
Away from sport, Chalmers took part in Pilgrimage: Road to Santiago, where seven celebrities undertook a medieval pilgrimage, across the North of Spain, to see whether it still has relevance today. He worked for the BBC on events such as Trooping the Colour and the commemorations to mark the 75th Anniversary of the D-Day landings. He narrated Scotland Remembers 100 Years of Armistice, a nationally broadcast service from Glasgow Cathedral.
In 2019, he was a part of the BBC's team working on RideLondon, 2019 UCI Road World Championships and Glasgow Track Cycling World Cup.
On 3 September 2020, it was announced that Chalmers would be taking part in the eighteenth series of Strictly Come Dancing. He danced with professional Amy Dowden. He was eliminated in the quarter finals of the competition, after losing the dance-off to Jamie Laing and Karen Hauer.
In March 2021, the BBC announced that Chalmers would be joining Sarah Moore and Jacqui Joseph as a presenter on Money For Nothing. In April, Chalmers was part of the BBC presentation team covering the funeral of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. On 24 June Chalmers was announced as one of the presenters for BBC coverage of the 2020 Summer Olympics to be held in Tokyo. He was coincidentally flown out to Tokyo by the same pilot who flew him home from Afghanistan while Chalmers was in a medically-induced coma.
In early 2022 Chalmers presented Dunkirk: Mission Impossible; a three-part television series focusing on the events of Operation Dynamo, the evacuation of Allied soldiers during World War II from the beaches and harbour of Dunkirk. In April 2022 Chalmers appeared on BBC's Gardeners' World, introducing the garden at his family home of six years, in Fife, Scotland.
