Evans waste - Mar 05 C4 waste a million on unseen Chris Evans show. A channel 4 boss admitted that they had put £1m in to promoting Girls and Boys before they’d even seen the show themselves. The show, presented by Vernon Kay, was hailed as Evans’ big comeback (even though he barely appeared on it) but it was panned by critics and suffered low ratings. The C4 boss stated "we should never have spent £1m promoting it. We hadn’t seen it. We were told it was going to be important and have Chris Evans in it." The show was axed after the first series.

	Chris Evans was born on April Fools Day, 1966. His meteoric rise to fame has taken him from opening Timmy Mallett’s mail to being one of Britain’s most successful presenter and famous face. In Chris’ early years, he ran the local newsagents in his home town of Warrington and set up his own Kiss-o-gram and Private Detective agencies. Having started his broadcasting career at Piccadilly Radio, he went on to nurse Emma Freud through her first serious interviews at GLR. At the London-based station his infamous "Round at Chris’ " Saturday morning show attracted a huge cult following and he later took the format to Virgin 1215. A stint on the short-lived BSB Channel, "The Power Station" allowed Chris time to iron out any presenting rough spots, until Channel 4 opted for a different type of early morning show with The BIG Breakfast. Chris dived into the nations mornings in September 1992, spearheading the morning extravaganza alongside Gaby Roslin. From the first sitting, his name became synonymous with the television story of the decade and within weeks The BIG Breakfast topped 2 million viewers. Chris’ years on the show made him a national star. In 1993, Chris formed his own company called Ginger Productions to formulate a brand new variety show for Saturday nights, ’Don’t Forget Your Toothbrush’. Devised, written and performed by Chris, the ratings peaked at a combined 6 million viewers. News of the totally original format resulted in a global clamour for the rights, which to date have been sold to networks throughout Europe and all over the world including Australia and Brazil. With Chris at its helm, Ginger Productions fast became one of the major players in entertainment production. Under the Ginger banner, Chris produced and presented a second series of ’Don’t Forget Your Toothbrush’, revitalised BBC Radio One with his Radio One Breakfast Show before bowing out to concentrate on his unique end-of-the-week TV show on Channel 4, TFI Friday. TFI Friday finished on 22nd December 2000 with a show hosted by Elton John. In October ’97, Chris returned to his radio roots to host the Virgin Radio Breakfast Show alongside his former Radio One team. Then in December, in spectacular fashion and with financial backing, Chris bought Virgin Radio from Richard Branson, whilst the MMC were deliberating on a buy out from another company. The newly formed Ginger Media Group (GMG), headed by Chris Evans, now handled all of the interests of Virgin Radio and Ginger Productions. In March 2000, Ginger Productions was sold to SMG Plc. making them the sole owner of the company. Chris does however continue to present the successful Breakfast Show. The Ginger one has been a hit with the ladies serending them with extravegent gifts, he is famous for his wild drinking binges, that don’t last for a couple of hours but more like a couple of days. His conquests included Mel Sykes, Mariella Frostrup, on-off lover TV producer Suzi Aplin and a week long fling with another Ginger,Geri Halliwell, which the press dissmissed as a press stunt so that her single could reach number one, well if it was, it worked as she did get to number one. To the shock of everyone now, he is said to be blissfully happy with 19 year old singer Billie Piper. This is the real thing they keep telling us, well they are planning to move in together in a pad in Chelsea. February 2007
