Chris Evans: Virgin Radio host says his wife’s words hurt him in shock confession

Chris told viewers he can’t exercise with Natasha because she’s “miles fitter than him”. The 53-year-old joked it is embarrassing to go running with his wife as onlookers question what he’s doing. He went on to say she pushes him too hard during a run.

Speaking on his Virgin Radio Breakfast Show, Chris said: “Never had a personal fitness session from anyone.”

He asked his co-host: “How does yours take shape? Is it different every week?”

She said: “I see Cat Merchant who used to play rugby for England. She’s amazing.”

Chris asked: “How hard does she push you?”

She said: “Quite hard. Sometimes I feel like I might be a little bit sick but I’m never actually sick.

“Enough to make me work.”

Chris said: “You can push yourself quite far, can’t you Vassos?”

Vassos said: “I do actually funnily enough, I do it more to myself than if someone is pushing me or if I’m running with people.”

Chris said: “I don’t do that.

“Tash, my wife, she’s very similar, very much cut from your cloth Vassos.

“I can’t go out running with Tash.

“She’s miles fitter for me and it’s a bit embarrassing for everyone concerned.

“Least of all me but everyone’s like, what is he doing.

“But she pushed me too hard.

“When she starts to talk to me about what I should be doing and how I should be doing it that makes me feel as I’m doing it – it hurts.

“Her words hurt me. Not emotionally, just physically.

“I would happily run a marathon every day for a week than workout with Tash for an hour or even half an hour.”

Chris Evans Virgin Radio Breakfast Show airs weekdays at 6.30am.
