Chris Evans: Virgin Radio DJ 'stupidly' almost announces wife's Christmas present on-air

With Christmas just around the corner everyone’s been busy buying presents for their loved ones, and it turns out Chris Evans, 54, and his co-star Vassos Alexander, 47, are on the same wavelength this year as they bought their wives the same gift. And they were so excited about it they almost blurted it out on-air.

“At the beginning of the show, Vassos and I stupidly said on-air – well we nearly said on the air – what we got our wives for Christmas,” Chris laughed.

“And it happens to be exactly the same thing!

“We haven’t discussed it,” he said in disbelief that they managed to cop the same present without a nod to each other.

Their fellow co-presenter Rachel Horne was eager to get in on the secret: “What is it?” she mithered, begging them to turn the mics off.
