Believe it or not – the Chris Evans vs Virgin Radio case is still dragging on. Yesterday Evan's doctor was on hand to say his client was "chronically stressed" in the lead up to his impromptu break from the breakfast show which led to his sacking. Dr John Gayner, said the DJ was in a state of "acute anxiety" and looked "in a real mess" when examined the day before his dismissal from the station. However the medical evidence didn't all go in Evan's favour. The doctor agreed that Evans' three-day drinking binge in the same week - which saw him consume 833% more alcohol than the recommended amount - could have "had an adverse effect" on his condition and conceded that Evans might have exaggerated his bouts of constant crying to get a diagnosis of ill health. The case resumes Monday.
