Better known to Spanish television audiences as Chipper Cooke, Chipper was a contestant on Operación Triunfo, Spain's version of an American Idol-style franchise, and he finished third in the 2008 edition. His most notable moment came when, after performing, his husband was allowed on-stage and the two shared a passionate kiss, much to the delight of the audience. He released his first album, Funkytown, in 2008 via Universal. ~ Chris True
