"*Where there's no sense there's no feeling!*"
— His motto
 Pritchard is a Welsh professional skateboarder, daredevil, chef and one quarter of the Dirty Sanchez crew. He is often sited as the most extreme one and the unintelligent one of the group. The type of stunts he does involves hitting himself or doing rather stupid and/or dangerous things.

## Early life

Pritchard was, just like the others, described as a good child by relatives. Pritchard from a young age struggle with learning and was often in the lower sets at school. He was a wild child in the fact he liked to strip down and show everyone what he's got.

He worked for Globe Shoes for six years and later designed his own signature shoe.

Around fifteen years old Pritchard became interested in Skateboarding, something he is still fond of.

Around twenty-one Pritchard discovered the pub and smoking. It was around this age that Pritchard met Dainton which also meant the meeting and greeting of Dan Joyce and Pancho.

## Dirty Sanchez

Pritchard is known as the founder of Dirty Sanchez, along with Lee Dainton, with whom he filmed the skating bootleg tape "Pritchard vs Dainton", where the two were in competition against each other at skating, as well as hitting and playing pranks on each other, the basis of the Dirty Sanchez programme. He, along with Dainton will usually start the Pancho's wake up pranks whenever the short, fat and drunk fool had fallen asleep near them, and usually get on his bad side once he wakes up.

Throughout the series it is shown that Pritchard has an extreme case of arachnophobia, which the rest of the team usually take advantage of by playing pranks on him involving spiders.

In the first three series of Dirty Sanchez Pritchard was seen with longer hair than the other boys, and by Series 3 it had gotten very long. However this all changed when Dainton shaved his head, this forced Pritchard to shave the rest of his head bald, and since then he's had much shorter hair, being the same length as it was in the first series.

"*Gone fucking gone!*"
— Pritchard upon noticing his hair had been shaved

## Relationships with the other Sanchez

### Dainton

    Dainton and Pritchard are best friends but have this huge vendetta against each other. In series one and two they were neutral to each other and rarely did they seriously harm one another however as Series three came things got ugly.

"*DAINTON YOU'RE DEAD!*"
— After his hair was shaved off by Dainton

Nonstop anarchy during the third series. Pritchard attacks Dainton, then Dainton fights back twice as hard. The end results were Passport sabotage , Pepper spray attacks and Shaven heads.

Despite all of this Pritchard admits he would get bored without Dainton or the other two for that matter. Pritchard has admitted that Dainton is the only person he knows that really makes him angry, though he does clarify it's not because of how he is but because of what he does to him that makes him angry.

### Pancho

Like everyone else Pritchard uses Pancho's size and clumsiness as a way to amuse himself. Usually him and Dainton team up to prank Pancho and humiliate him. However they do get along well enough, and when both are drunk they reveal a very good friendship with each other that they don't normally show sober, even coming up with their own version of the song You are my Sunshine, in this case being "You are my Pancho".

### Dan Joyce

Pritchard has similar thoughts to Dainton when it comes to Joyce. Like Dainton he has said that Dan doesn't take a joke easily. Overall Pritchard has no particular opinion on Joyce except that he is a good friend, and Dan demonstrated this when he chose to shave most of, and then all of his hair in support for Pritchard after Dainton pulled a particularly nasty prank on him by shaving the top of his head off. Despite being just as disgusted as the other two whenever Dan does any of his gross out stunts Pritchard does team up with Dan to perform said stunts, like the beer enema or a fun little game Dan invented called Bum Drums.

On 7 September 2009, Pritchard was attacked with a knife in a supermarket in Toftwood, Norfolk, suffering serious stab wounds to his neck and chest. Luckily Pritchard survived and the culprit was arrested.

During May 2015 Pritchard was caught drunk and causing disruptions, he even urinated on Dolph Lundgren on a private jet. He has since apologized.

He has also competed in charity events and fundraisers.

Most of Pritchard's personal life is private however he did confirm that he is an Uncle to his brother's daughter. Also he is no longer in a relationship with Lisa and instead he is in a relationship with Ciara Dunney.

Pritchard and Dainton are the only Sanchez members still doing live shows however both become preoccupied most of the time.

In November 2015, Pritchard announced he was a vegan after watching a completely unbiased documentary called "Cowpiracy".

In January 2016, Pritchard fell off of his bike after being knocked by someone and broke his coccyx where he was unable to do sports for a while.

Recently, Pritchard had proposed to his current girlfriend, though it's unknown if they are married as of yet.

In late 2017 both Dainton and Pritchard started the 15th Anniversary of Dirty Sanchez with new live tours and a trip back to MTV studios.

In the late 2010s Pritchard returned to tv with a brand new show called Dirty Vegan, with help from Dainton behind the scenes according to the first episode's credits. As opposed to his usual stuff with the boys this show had Pritchard be at his most mature while still retaining his humor and unique personallity, rather than causing harm to himself Dirty Vegan focused on his new life style as a vegan and how he cooks vegan food for people not fond of the idea of a meal without any meat or any other bits of food vegans won't eat, only to be won over by how good the food Pritchard makes actually is, with Pritch, now being a chef also releasing a cook book of the same name. The show itself has gained positive reviews from the public, and it's worth noting that Dirty Vegan is the first vegan cookery show ever to be made by the BBC.
