Chris Bingham |
-Bing is best friends with Tom whom he met at sixth form. The two have worked on a lot of Cakebomb projects as well as other videos for Youtube. Bing also has his own channel, called slomozovo and a second channel called bingradio. He hasn't been on Tom's channel for a while, due to them growing apart.
He is the son of Steve Bingham and also the brother of Jennifer Bingham, who was Tom's girlfriend for a couple of years.
CakeBomb
In 2006, a video/media group by the name of Cakebomb was created by Tom Ridgewell, Chris Bingham, Rosie Ball, Abi Hunt, Ruth Noakes, Mina Lavender and Edd Gould, with other members Rosie Smith, Tom Kerr and Tom Bown.
Most of the releases from Cakebomb came from Tom and his friends producing videos and films from their time at sixth form and university, while Edd's videos were later released onto the Cakebomb website for more exposure. Most members made appearances in videos, most notably in the first two TomSka's Day Out videos. Around this time, smaller members Rosie Smith, Thom Kerr and Ruth Noakes left Cakebomb to go in different artistic directions.
Unfortunately, most of the Cakebomb videos are scattered onto multiple channels, two videos were exclusively on Mina's channel, which now has the videos unlisted and private, and many, many videos removed by Tom from his main channel, and backup channel.
In 2009, as Tom and Bing began at the University of Lincoln, Abi, Rosie and Mina took leave from the group. Tom then added Tom Bown and Amy Guy to the CakeBomb roster, and plans for CakeBomb to have office space began.
In the start of 2011, an update was posted to the website that Cakebomb was no more, as the main point that kept them together, the friendships, was gone.
Here is the following list from said update.
Edd, Tom and Bing were currently working together on EddsWorld, and Tom and Bing were producing videos together.
Abi moved on to become an artist and animator
Rosie was working on becoming a game designer and graphic designer
Ruth had actually not been heard from for a good amount of time, which Tom remarked by saying "if she could figure out how to answer the damn email". She's out there on the internet, but is no longer active.
Mina also moved on from Cakebomb, and is now currently studying in Japan. Her current website is 'minafesto'
It wasnt until Tom's video about the story of himself and Jenny Bingham, Bing's sister, when many fans started to pick up on a few things that may have brought about the end of Cakebomb.
Sometime during the life of Cakebomb, Tom had remarked about talking to someone about the current situation of himself and Jenny to someone he only wanted to refer to as "The Destroyer", who then went and told Bing everything they had been told from Tom. During the Cakebomb era, Mina had a title header image with the subtitle "Mina, Destroyer of Worlds" , which if its just Tom just referring to this person as the person who "destroyed" his current relationship with Bing, or if it actually is Mina.
After the death of Edd, Tom fell into depression, and during a major panic attack sent an email to several friends, including Bing rambling about "mutually toxic relationships" and how they would be better off not knowing each other anymore. Although Tom regretted sending the emails, he did not go back on them because he decided they were true. Ultimately, this led to Bing asking to not be associated with Tom's brand any longer and having his name removed from the channel for the better part of four years, in credits and even in titles (notably, "The TomSka and Bing Dance" was renamed "The TomSka Dance" during this time). In early 2018, however, the two finally sat down and started talking to each other again: Bing's name was restored to the credits during that time.
