Chris Evans (presenter)

Christopher James Chris Evans is an English presenter, businessman and producer for radio and television. He started his broadcasting career working for Piccadilly Radio, Manchester, as a teenager, before moving to London as a presenter for the BBCs Greater London Radio and then Channeltelevision, where The Big Breakfast made him a star. Soon he was able to dictate highly favourable terms, allowing him to broadcast on competing radio and TV stations. Slots like RadioBreakfast Show and TFI Friday provided a mix of celebrity interviews, music and comic games, delivered in an irreverent style that attracted high ratings, though often also generated significant numbers of complaints. By 2000 he was the UKs highest paid entertainer, according to the Sunday Times Rich List.

His siblings are brother David and sister Diane . He started his schooling at St Margarets Church of England Infants and Junior School, and later the Junior School in Orford, Warrington. Evans father and both paternal uncles died of colorectal cancer. Evans mother is a breast cancer survivor.
