About the Author
Chris Evans began his broadcasting career at Manchester’s Piccadilly Radio, going on to become a household name in TV and radio. He launched and presented the hugely successful Channel 4 shows The Big Breakfast, Don’t Forget Your Toothbrush and TFI Friday, before moving to radio in 1996. Chris joined BBC Radio 2 in 2005 and soon succeeded Sir Terry Wogan as host of the Breakfast Show. Before long he had exceeded Wogan’s listening figures, and the nation had begun to accept the reformed wild child back into its heart.Chris’s second book, Memoirs of a Fruitcake, became a Sunday Times bestseller and was named Sunday Times Book of the Year in 2011. Encouraged by this success he now pens a hugely popular weekly column in the Daily Mail, as well as running 500 Words, a short story competition for children.Chris’s wild days are now firmly behind him, and he lives with his wife Natasha and sons Noah and Eli in the Berkshire countryside.
