Chris Evans reveals he reads FOUR books a week on his Virgin Radio Breakfast Show

CHRIS Evans impressed listeners to his Virgin Radio Breakfast Show by revealing he reads four books a WEEK.

The DJ was interviewing Dawn O'Porter on her new book, So Lucky, when he dropped the fact.

The bestselling author told Chris that most radio DJ's interviewing her haven't even opened her books.

She said on the Chris Evans Virgin Radio Breakfast Show with Sky: "This is step one of my book tour, by the way. I don't think I've ever been on a radio interview where the host has actually read the books.

"So this is really surprising."

Chris replied: "No, seriously, my listeners know I was the book doctor for a while a couple of weeks ago.

"And I talk about books, I read about three or four books a week, usually non-fiction.

"But they know when I say buy the book, I mean it."

Dawn is known for books such as The Cows, Paper Aeroplanes and Goose.

Chris Evans has a lot more reading time since giving up his phone earlier this year.

The presenter revealed to his listeners that he gave up on using his smart phone and hasn't looked back since.

He told his audience: "I got rid of my phone on the 19th of January this year.

"I don't have a phone or an email. Right so I have a lot more time. In fact I have the same amount of time, it is just mine."

Speaking about what he does with his extra free time, the dad-of-three said: "So what do I do with my time?

"I was in London last Thursday and I had time because I'd got time and the more time you have and the more space you have the more you see how little everybody else has and you get more you get frustrated for them on their behalf.

"And so I have two hours right, not to kill, not to fill, but to fulfil and there was a fox being rescued from the river here on London Bridge and for 90 minutes I just watched the fire brigade trying to rescue this fox."
