He and his husband Aaron are currently renovating a Victorian house in Penarth, their fifth joint project. Evans values the comfort and relaxation a home offers, especially with his early morning schedule as a Radio 2 breakfast show host.
Evans and Aaron share similar tastes in home decor, though they sometimes have differences, like the recent decision over cork flooring in their new kitchen.
Evans’ beloved drumkit, significant for both his personal and professional life, will have its own room in the new house. His interest in drumming, dating back to childhood, has been a source of comfort and mental health support.
The couple’s cat, Franny, is also a central part of their home life. Evans' routine involves early mornings for his radio show, starting his day at 03:15 and ending it by 20:00.
Growing up in Ammanford, Carmarthenshire, Evans faced challenges in a heteronormative environment, especially during Section 28. This experience shaped his desire to be comfortable in his own skin, reflected in his flamboyant fashion sense.
As a judge on Wales' Home of the Year, Evans finds it challenging to critique others' homes but emphasizes the importance of homes being safe, comfortable spaces. The show features a variety of homes, focusing not on size or grandeur but on what makes a place a home.
