CHRIS Evans launched his new breakfast show on Virgin Radio this morning - with a little help from his wife Natasha Shishmanian and their sons Noah and Eli.

The DJ, 52, revealed it was "all hands on deck" ahead of the show that aired on DAB Digital Radio on Monday, January 21.

In a short clip, Eli, six, is confused as he watches his dad talking but can only hear static.

After fiddling with the digital radio, his dad's voice can be heard while Eli explains what you need to do if you want to listen to his "dad on the radio".

Meanwhile, Noah, nine, fires questions at his dad in a nod to the famous scene from Uncle Buck when Macaulay Culkin interrogates John Candy.

Finally the whole Evans family unite in a Love Actually-style scene with boards explaining how to access the Virgin Radio Breakfast Show.

Chris said yesterday that he'll feature his wife and kids in his new Virgin Radio breakfast show to help make it a success.

"To what extent will I involve my family in order to make the new show a hit? The answer is infinite. I’m sorry, that’s just the way it is," he said.

"It’s all hands on deck here, including the little ones.”

Chris and golfer Natasha welcomed twins Walt and Boo in September.
