Former 'TFI Friday' host Chris Evans is too busy to return to TV.
Chris Evans has seemingly quit TV
The 56-year-old broadcaster suggested his days on telly are behind him because his commitment to his Virgin Radio breakfast show is more than enough for him and his young family, wife Natasha Shishmanian and their children Noah, 13, Eli, 10, and four-year-old twins Boo and Walt.
Asked by a fan if he had any TV plans coming up, Chris - who also has adult daughter Jade from a previous relationship - said: “No can do. Family time is everything to me. Radio in the a.m is my limit.”
Last summer, Chris claimed he was bringing back 'TFI Friday' - which ran from 1996 to 2000 before returning briefly for a series in 2015 - but suggested it would go online because there was no longer any "need" for it to have a home on television.
He said: "Of course 'TFI Friday' is coming back in September. Can I tell you a bit more about it?
"Oh, sure. The thing is, you don’t need a TV channel now. You just don’t need one.”
Chris insisted the new format would will let the team be more creative with plenty of freedom in terms of the length of the show, and what unseen archive footage they can release.
He explained: "It’s amazing what you can do. 'TFI Friday' doesn’t have to be an hour long, it could be longer, we could livestream it.
“We’ve got all the annals and the back catalogue and library footage. So we’ve got the David Bowie footage that was never seen, and all that going on.”
Despite his comments at the time, the reboot has yet to materialise.
