Will Chris Evans ever have a female guest presenter?

I'm amazed nobody seems to have mentioned this. He's had nine or ten (I think) Friday guest presenters in so far: Peter Kay, Gary Barlow, Elton John, David Walliams, Brian Cox, Rick Stein, Robert Plant, Stephen Merchant and Barry Manilow... I've probably missed one or two.

Why no women?! Is he aware he is allowed them?

I always miss that slot because I am at work by that time.

I turn off at 8am on Fridays because of that annoying kid singing in the bath that has been done to death. Also I hate The Candyman song. I do not have a sweet tooth and it conjures up all sorts of gooey, yucky, tooth curling confectionery. I also have visions of the childcatcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

I nominate Kate Middleton as his first female guest.

I was thinking more of Kimberley Walsh!

Totally with you on the Candyman song though, on every front!

Yeah true i'd not thought about it! IKWYM about the candyman song but i love Sammy Davis IMO chris E is a bit typically male going for the FEEL of the song rather than the lyrics.

What about Annie Lennox as his first female guest anyone twitter him to suggest this? I'm not on twitter.

Chris Evans copied Danny Baker (his mate) with that candyman song

In fact he copies Dany Baker with everything

Annie Lennox, good choice. But I get the feeling they always pick someone with something to plug... Kate Bush has a new "Director's Cut" album out soon...He wouldn't get her though. Mark Radcliffe is your man for the Bush.

Yes unquiet Kate Bush is probably a little highbrow for C.E.!Annie Lennox would enjoy eating him for breakfast!! Geddit!!

Danny Baker is THE Candyman.

You make a v good point UQD. Why don't you tweet him or even ye olde email him or summat?

I'd like to suggest Joan Bakewell cos I love her but don't think she's cheesey enough for R2 breakfast show, is she?

But he quite fancies the older woman doesn't he? there are vibes (on his side anyway) between him and Moira IMO!!
