This is the moment Chris Evans announced he was leaving Radio 2’s flagship Breakfast Show after eight years.

At 8:10am this morning, the 52-year-old made the shock announcement live on air.


“The twins are on their way,” he said “I’m going to leave Radio 2. I have absolutely loved every single moment of my time at Radio 2. “The last 13 years have flashed by in what seems like the blink of an eye. I have learnt so much from so many people to whom I will be eternally grateful.”

“As Sir Terry (Wogan) said before me, there’s never a right time to leave something you love but there might be a wrong time if you hang on too long.”
