VIRGIN Radio star Chris Evans’ beloved mum Minnie passed away at the age of 92 in May, 2018.
We take a look back over her life and how she often joined her son her TV.
Who was Chris Evans’ mum Minnie?
Minnie Evans (née Beardsall) was born in 1926 in Warrington, Lancashire.
She managed a corner shop and later became a nurse.
Her husband Martin was a bookmaker and died in 1979, aged 58.
She had three children, David, 65, Diane, 55 and Chris, 52.
How did Minnie Beardsall die?
Minnie Evans passed away on May 3, 2018, aged 92.
In 2017 she underwent eye surgery without any anaesthetic.
At the time Chris remarked on her strength saying: “She lived through World War II – she’s hard as nails.”
In 2003, Minnie battled with breast cancer and Chris was concerned that she would be too old to survive a gruelling course of chemotherapy.
He intervened and saved her life by paying for her to be treated with the revolutionary drug Herceptin.
Chris heard the news of his mum’s passing just before he came on air on May 3, 2018.
He handed the show over to Vassos Alexander and made a moving tribute to his mum.
On May 4, the day after his mum’s passing, Chris returned to his regular Radio Two morning slot and praised the staff who had helped Minnie.
On air, he said: “My mum was only supposed to last a month or two, but five months after this, seven months in all, she was still there.
“All the carers, all the district nurses, have just been absolutely fantastic. But no more fantastic than you guys. You’re all gorgeous.”
What did Chris Evans say in his tribute to his mum on Radio Two?
Chris said: “Good morning. The reason I’m not with you today is because just before I came on air my mum passed away and I needed to go straight back home to be with my family.
“But it’s all OK, in fact it’s very OK, mum needed to be at peace.
“Moreover she needed to be at peace for some time now and as she has throughout her life in death she has brought us together. She was an incredible woman.
“Anyone who has ever met her will tell you that ultimately there was no battle lost only a life won. Every single day. I’ll be back tomorrow.
“If mum had the first idea I might not have shown up today because of her she would have been furious.
“I hope you have a lovely Thursday. See you tomorrow.”
What did she leave her children in her will?
Minnie has shared her inheritance equally between her three children, despite Chris’ £55million fortune.
The estate, said to be worth £133,000, is to be divided in equal proportion between the presenter, his brother David and sister Diane.
Chris has previously admitted that he is not close to his older siblings and neither are thought to be wealthy.
David, 65, lives in Australia and works as a nurse, while 55-year-old Diane is a divorced teacher living in Leeds.
Minnie’s will was apparently drawn up in 2011 and leaves £1,000 to its executor Graham Kippax.
Her grandchildren will inherit her ISAs.
