Christopher James "Chris" Evans (born 1 April 1966) 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 BBC's Greater London Radio and then Channel 4 television, 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 Radio 1 Breakfast 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 UK's highest paid entertainer, according to the ''Sunday Times'' Rich List. In 2005, he started a new career on BBC Radio 2, hosting the long-running Drivetime programme, before moving in 2010 to host ''The Chris Evans Breakfast Show'' every weekday morning. He previously presented ''The One Show'' on Fridays between 2010 and 2015. In 2015 he signed a three-year deal to lead a new ''Top Gear'' line-up. On 23 June 2015 it was confirmed that TFI Friday will return for its seventh series with eight episodes in December 2015, Chris Evans confirmed that he will also return to present it. It was then revealed that the BBC Top Gear team told Evans he would have to leave TFI Friday after the upcoming series to stay with Top Gear. Evans founded the CarFest charity motoring festival. ==Early life== Evans was born in Warrington, England, the youngest child of bookmaker and health authority wages clerk Martin Joseph Evans (1921–1979),〔Births, Marriages & Deaths Index, England and Wales〕 and Minnie Beardsall, who managed a corner shop.
