| abstract | - Chris Evans was born in England somewhere. We don't know where. Maybe Sussex. In his autobiography Being Ginger: Not All Sex With One Hit Wonders Chris gives a valuable insight into what it was like to be a young wanker. In one of the most controversial chapters, Evans explains how for the first ten years of his life he was bullied at school for being ginger. Ironically, it was the rusty mop balanced on his head that catapulted him into stardom - quite literally. The first time Chris appeared on TV was on Children In Need when a large catapult was erected in the studio and ginger people where pulled in off the street and catapulted roughly northward to raise money for children who needed new bikes. Although eleven gingers where fired, Chris was able to stow away in a disused air vent once the event had finished. There, Chris waited for his big break. It was four months later that, using a rudimentary gun fashioned from old cleaning utensils, Chris was able to kidnap Ed the Duck (who was the chairman of the BBC at the time) and demanded the squeaky mallard gave him a job. Chris then started presenting the Big Breakfast, which was originally going to be known as 'Two Fried Eggs And A Huge Sausage' but it was rejected by Ofcom due to it's intent. Chris moved into the house when the show began in 1992. Chris said of the time "It was a great place to live, it was in East London so it was good for going into town'. He later was found drugged in one of the Big Breakfast bedrooms all tied up with an orange in his mouth, he quickly left the show to avoid scandal.
