Chris Evans has started his new breakfast show on Virgin Radio and dismissed rumours of a rivalry with Zoe Ball, who has taken over his former slot at BBC Radio 2.
“But I press buttons, I don’t play songs, musicians play songs.
“It’s so great to be back on Virgin and I have to say it’s a real treat, we are blessed, we couldn’t be more grateful,” he said.
He also played songs by Blondie, Queen, Stereophonics, Oasis and Blossoms, on a show that broadly specialises in rock and indie.
