Chris Evans has revealed that his his hectic, hardgoing lifestyle has left him feeling old and rundown.

Previously famed for his long binge drinking sessions, the Radio Two DJ has spoken about the negative effects his body has suffered as a result.

He told the Mirror: "I've hit 40 and the metabolism is definitely slowing down. Believe me, it does happen. My body is feeling the effects of a busy, exciting and sometimes abusive life."

"When I was a kid, I'm sure my mouth never used to feel as dry in the mornings as it does nowadays and my skin is thinner, my whole body softer. My hair, once fiery red and heaped in great swirls, is now silver...The backs of my hands are lined and wrinkled. My bones seem to be thinning," Evans lamented.
