Chris Evans will wish he could take this one back.
The TFI Friday host was rolling in the deep sh*t when he had Adele on his BBC Radio 2 show to talk about her new single ‘Hello’.
In the middle of their chat, Evans asked the ‘Skyfall’ singer to open up about her onstage alter ego, saying: “I love this stage persona you have to get over your nerves. What’s her name again?”
After a puzzled Adele asks him what he’s talking about, it comes out that he’s talking about Sasha Fierce – the former performing alter ego of Beyonce.
Sorry I missed this! Chris Evans telling Adele she has alter-ego "Sasha Fierce. Uh…That's @Beyonce Like, 7 yrs ago https://t.co/SDDGq7DfGZ

The best explanation we can think of is that Evans tried to get Beyonce on the show, but when she turned him down he told her: “Never mind, I’ll find someone like you.”
