Chris Evans has revealed he has a problem with his left meniscus, a rubbery cartilage between the knee joint, and may not be able to participate in the next series of Strictly Come Dancing due to the injury. Speaking on his Virgin Radio Breakfast Show earlier this month, the 52-year-old insisted he was not scared of competing on the BBC One series, but is concerned about his knee. The topic came about when he spoke to actor Andrew Garfield, who admitted he is a huge fan of the long-running dance contest and wanted to discuss the show with the DJ. The Spider-Man star spilled: “This is really the reason I wanted to come on and talk to you this morning.
“I heard that you were maybe going to be on it and I thought actually that is a match made in heaven.”
He continued: “On my sabbatical, one of the many things I’ve done on my sabbatical, maybe the most important thing I’ve done on my sabbatical is I’ve realised how important Strictly Come Dancing is.
“Not only for the British public, but for me as an individual. It’s my favourite new pastime to sit and get overly invested in whether Stacey Dooley is going to win or not.”
Chipping in, the radio DJ asked the 35-year-old film star: “Did you think she would?”
“I assumed, I hoped she would and I was just very happy to see it happen,” to which, Chris quipped: “We all thought that didn’t we? - Dooley!”
Continuing, Andrew remarked: “But then when I heard you were doing it I thought, ‘Well you have to give the people what they want’."
