Chris Evans has pulled out all the stops, or rather, pulled on a sock, to promote the return of ‘TFI Friday’.

Chris Evans and Giles Coren
The Radio 2 Breakfast Show host is joined in the clip by food critic Giles Coren, who is seen knocking on Chris’s door and asking him about TFI's return.
“So I hear you're bringing TFI back with all the funny bits,” Giles asks.
Chris responds with: “Some of them, but not all of them - just the best bits. Not the naked parade, though. It was good, but I think my body is over the nudity thing.”
Obviously Chris had a change of heart though, as moments later the pair can be seen recreating their own, private 'naked parade' on the sofa.
Chris, who will host the ‘TFI’ live special later this year, said he was ‘bang up for’ bringing the show back when he was approached by Channel 4.
He told The Guardian: “Channel 4 have asked us to do a TFI Friday 20th anniversary show and/or run next year. I was completely bang up for it until I did the maths last week and had to phone them and say it’s only 19 years next year, it’s actually 20 years the year after. I think they still want to go for it and just hope no one notices.”
‘TFI Friday’ ran from 1996 to 2000 and was a huge hit despite regularly courting controversy.
