CHRIS Evans revealed his plans to knock on Sir Elton John’s door and offer him a lift to the Virgin Radio Breakfast Show.
The 53-year-old radio host is desperate to have the music icon in his studio – and may resort to desperate measures to make it happen.
Speaking on the programme this morning, Chris explained that he lives close to the 72-year-old singer, and regularly sees his husband David Furnish on the school run.
Plotting how to get Elton on the airwaves, the star joked: “I’d like to get Elton on the show. And he lives around the corner from me so I might just knock on his door and ask him.
“Because I see David all the time dropping the kids off at school. Should I just ask David?
“Or I shall I take a tape, are they called tape recorders what do you call them now? Shall I take a recording device and knock on his door?
“Shall I ask Dave to give me a plus one, back to his house….”
He went on to laugh: “Maybe not!”
Later in the radio show, Chris said that he would even give Elton a lift to the studio, sharing: “Give him a lift in, would be amazing. I could give him a lift in! I might do that.
A listener then phoned in with a suggestion – asking why he didn’t get his children to befriend David and Elton’s.
Chris joked: “‘I’ve got an idea’, says another listener from Nottingham: ‘Get you kids to befriend Elton and David’s, arrange a play date and then boom.’
“Well I think my wife is already on regular speaking terms with David.”
Chris is married to Natasha Shishmanian and the pair have 10-year-old twins Noah and Eli together.
Elton and David are dads to six-year-old Elijah and eight-year-old Zachary.
The Chris Evans Virgin Radio Breakfast Show with Sky, weekdays from 6:30am.
