“I remember those naked days… that first naked moment… it wasn’t yet dawn at [The Big Breakfast studio] Old Ford Lock and then it was there… an emanation of orange, like autumn come early… as if there was a russet colored burst of life from a not very dangerous firework…”
Nicola Gooch added:
“Yes Rowan I was subjected to that. Though for me it was more like a baby minnow helplessly flapping for life on a pile of beach leaves.”
“Let’s see how long before this gets out whether the BBC will want to cover up — figuratively speaking — again. I was supposed to be running the show when he [did] it and felt v embarrassed and undermined — f–k knows what a young runner must have felt about it. Or did everyone just laugh and think it was funny?”
Steven D. Wright chimed in with another disturbing image:
“He’d had a bath so dropped his towel and stood stark bollock naked for ten minutes while I prepped his next iv with Zig & Zag. I looked down at it then continued talking. I could tell he was annoyed I never ‘reacted’ and afterwards the Make Up girl (Debbie?) congratulated me on my sang froid. It was a classic bit of bullying but didn’t affect me although it would have been different if I’d been a young female runner though…”
Others also accused Evans of being a bully. According to HeatStreet, in a newspaper interview in 2005, Evans talked about getting joy from flashing people during company meetings at the time. Evans reportedly told the paper, “I haven’t done it for a while, but I will do it again… If you get your willy out, it’s the funniest thing in the world.”
