Evans admits taking Class A drug

British Radio 2 DJ Chris Evans has admitting taking magic mushrooms.

Evans, 41, revealed on his BBC blog that he had taken the Class A drug two days before a Meat Loaf concert.

He made the admission while complaining about people filming concerts on their mobile phones.

He wrote: “I have to admit I did take a photo of a gig via my phone once upon a time but only the once, I promise.

“It was a Meat Loaf concert two days before which I’d had rather more magic mushrooms than maybe I should have. I thought I was chronicling the Albert Hall moving sideways on the back of a giant rock and roll crab, something I didn’t think the world should miss.”

After his comments provoked controversy, he added: “In the past I have been foolish and deserved the criticism I received but not now, not any more.”
