Chris Evans began his broadcasting career at Manchester's Piccadilly Radio, going on to become a household name in TV and radio. With his production company Ginger, he launched and presented the hugely successful Channel 4 shows The Big Breakfast, Don't Forget Your Toothbrush and TFI Friday. In 1996 Chris joined Radio 1, hosting the flagship breakfast show, which attracted 7.5million listeners. After his controversial departure he then joined Virgin Radio's breakfast show, eventually acquiring the station from Richard Branson for £87million. He went on to sell the Ginger Media Group (including Virgin Radio) in 2000 for £225million. In 2005 Chris joined Radio 2, declaring it his spiritual home, his show picking up four prestigious Sony Awards in as many years. He has since succeeded Sir Terry Wogan on The Breakfast Show, exceeding his listening figures, and has joined the popular The One Show as co-host on Fridays.
