Chris Evans: Gary Barlow teases Virgin Radio DJ for ditching phone 'Have you got mates?'
Chris Evans, 54, gave up his mobile when he joined Virgin Radio at the start of 2019. During his first breakfast show, he revealed he has ditched his phone for good and it was something Gary Barlow couldn’t get over.
The former BBC host gave up the technology as his New Year’s resolution, informing listeners at the time: “It’s not too late to discuss our New Year’s resolutions: I made two huge decisions.
“I no longer have a phone . . . I don’t have one. It’s not in my glove compartment in my car, it’s not locked away, I don’t have zero screen hours, then allow myself on later. I don’t have a phone any more.”
While many might have wondered how long it would last, Chris has been doing alright and hasn’t looked back since.
“I got rid of my phone on the 19th of January this year,” he said last year.
