Chris Evans f**ks up by mistaking Adele for Beyonce live on air (Audio)

How?

Kevin Beirne

Chris Evans will wish he could take this one back.

The TFI Friday host was rolling in the deep sh*t when he had Adele on his BBC Radio 2 show to talk about her new single ‘Hello’.

In the middle of their chat, Evans asked the ‘Skyfall’ singer to open up about her onstage alter ego, saying: “I love this stage persona you have to get over your nerves. What’s her name again?”

After a puzzled Adele asks him what he’s talking about, it comes out that he’s talking about Sasha Fierce – the former performing alter ego of Beyonce.

The best explanation we can think of is that Evans tried to get Beyonce on the show, but when she turned him down he told her: “Never mind, I’ll find someone like you.”
