You may not think that and would have anything in common.

However it appears the Radio X DJ has followed in the actresses footsteps with his own Goop-inspired range of £30 candles.

Aside from hosting his weekday breakfast programme, Chris also has his own merch shop, selling hoodies, T-shirts and a range of candles and diffusers.

Taking to Instagram on Friday, he shared the news of their latest candle which is scented with saffron, jasmine and cedarwood and retails for £29.95.

He told fans: 'We made a new candle and it's b****y gorgeous. I wanted another unisex scent that was different enough from the first candle.. and we cracked it! You will love it! Chris'

It is also available as a diffuser, or both a candle and diffuser gift set for £55.

Radio X DJ Chris Moyles has released a Goop-inspired range of £30 candles - and £50 hoodies - as disturbing new allegations about his treatment of junior colleagues emerge

But it isn't just the world of fragrances Chris has forayed into.

The star is also flogging a range of T-shirts and hoodies, costing £20 and £47.50 respectively, in a range of colours all embossed with his 'Chris Moyles' logo.

There are also mugs available for £11.99, in both black and white, and a Chris Moyles tote bag.

The latest candle addition to his online shop comes after The Daily Mail revealed that Chris was despised by many of his junior colleagues, as they said he seemed to 'get a kick out of making people uncomfortable'.

It isn't the first time Chris has caused controversy following the infamous clip from 2002 where a 27-year-old Chris offered to take the virginity of then-underage star Charlotte Church when she turned 16.

Five years after Moyles had creepily asked to take her virginity, the Welsh star brought him on her Channel 4 programme, The Charlotte Church Show, and asked him to ‘explain your behaviour’.

Chris said: ‘Well, you were under 16, yeah, 15. But you were gonna be 16, and I offered to take your virginity.’

The crowd began to laugh and Charlotte probed: ‘What exactly did you say?’

Chris had said he wanted to ‘lead [the singer] through the forest of sexuality now that she had reached 16’, a revolting line he defended as a ‘sweet’ proposal.

Gwyneth Paltrow famously brought out a candle range with Goop that smelt like her vagina

Nicola was only in her early twenties at the time and later revealed Moyles’s public bullying significantly affected her confidence, saying she struggled to look in the mirror and adding: ‘For years I felt like the ugly one in Girls Aloud.’

Indeed, his 2006 memoir, The Gospel According to Chris Moyles, is full of evidence of his being difficult to work with.

‘A lot of people think I’m a bastard to deal with, I’m not,’ insisted Moyles. ‘I’m the bad guy on air. Moyles is the bully. Moyles is the ego. I am a nice person. I’m just a bit of a git on the radio. It’s what I do.’

Elsewhere, he urged those working with him: ‘Be able to “handle” me, not be intimidated by me.’

He also makes repeated vulgar references to women, including even his own agent, Vivienne Clore, of whom he wrote: ‘She does have large breasts and is actually quite sweet.’

Eventually, in 2012, Chris was called into a meeting by Radio 1's new controller, Ben Cooper, who told him he had been sacked from the Breakfast show to be replaced by Nick Grimshaw, 11 years his junior.

‘I was a bit miffed that the story that went out was that I was too old and I had got fired,’ reflected Chris on Ross Kemp’s podcast in 2020.

‘I thought they handled it really badly. Then when [Grimshaw’s] show failed and the listening figures fell, I was like, “Not that f-ing easy, is it boys?”’

At the time of the sacking, Cooper promised a new role for the ‘furious’ presenter, but instead Chris left the BBC and took a three-year break from radio.

In 2015, he started working as Breakfast show host for Radio X, bringing over his former Radio 1 producer, Pippa Taylor and newsreader, Dominic Byrne.

Chris continues to present on Radio X even though questions about his behaviour at Radio 1 continue to mount.
