Chris Evans divulged what his favourite sandwich is on The Chris Evans Breakfast Show with cinch this morning and it might leave some of you just a little bit surprised.

The breakfast host called for his audience to share what their best loved lunch time classic might be before revealing his own, with a deceptive twist.

"Alright best sandwich ever here we go. are you ready?" Evans asked his co-hosts Vassos Alexander & Sinead Garvan before playing a dramatic drum role.

Evans built tension by breaking up the components of the typical two slices and a filling combo.

"Three, ingredients! Should we have a drum role for this? I think it's worth it."

Listeners and co-host were both left aghast as Chris proceeded to reveal that his favourite components were: 'cellophane', 'Voltarol anti-inflammatory rub' and 'the clincher, haemorrhoid cream!' before doubling down on his belief that it is:"the best sandwich ever!"

"Literally what are you talking about?" a rather confused Vassos asked.

Proving that he hadn't entirely lost the plot, Evans explained: "You know my right ankle has been gamy since the London marathon? So, Rachael, who is my genius physio says: 'Look we've been doing all this work but now because you've been a good boy, a well behaved soldier, and your ankle is very, very much back on the mend to extent you can run on it again but you can still feel it.'

"And I say: 'Yes I can still feel the pain. It's the same kind of pain, it's like a one but it's still there and it's nto going anywhere.'"

Evans continued: "she says: 'All the strength work we've been doing, strength and conditioning. The scaffolding around it is stronger. Can you feel that?

I said: 'Yeah, I can feel that. It makes me less nervous about running on it.'"

Still holding his audience with baited breath Evans added: "she says: ' Ok. We could have done this on week one, but you're not allowed this on week one.

"But you'er going on your holidays, and you're going to be trying surfing and skateboarding and all that kind of stuff when you're away for four weeks. So now we are going to give you the miracle. It is the anti-inflammatory sandwich!'"

Have finally clarifying just what on earth he was talking about, the cheeky host described the benefits and process of the 'sandwich'.

"So what happens is if you have somewhere that is inflamed on your body, to do with tendons, not to do with bones but tendons or muscles. And it's constant, and it's been nagging away, here is what you do.

"You get an equal measure of Voltarol, in something whether it's a mug or something you can mix it in, a little wooden spatula or a spoon as long as you clean it afterwards.

"Equal measures of Voltarol and haemorrhoid cream, and you mix it up. Then you rub it in, for me it's the ankle, just before you go to bed. Then you wrap it up in clingfilm and you wake up the next day, and you can't feel a thing."

He once again proclaimed it to be: "the best sandwich ever." before letting any audience member who hadn't quite put the slices together that: "It was a trick question everyone! Enjoy your favourite sandwiches."
