CHRIS Evans was left shocked to learn he’s been carving a turkey wrong for years on today’s Virgin Radio Breakfast Show.
The 53-year-old was joined in the studio today by Tom Copas, from Copas Traditional Turkeys , who explained how to prepare the bird ahead of a Christmas feast.

Talking Chris and the team through each step, Tom said: “Securely put the carving fork into the breast meat.”
Chris replied: “Right. So what’s the first incision? Because people get it wrong all the time.”
Tom explained: “You want to go just kind of in the middle of the breast just to kind of get a centre, a centre of the breast, where you just get a really good firm secure hold on it.
“Then we’ve got to cut diagonally across a breast like we know with wood you cut across the grain.

“So we are going to cut across the breast just like that.”
Chris was shocked by the revelation, telling Tom: “Oh my God, you cut across. I always went in line with the spine.”
Tom replied: “There you go. Because you’ve got the wing and the leg out of the way, you can cut across, and you want nice thick slices.”
Chris said: “And that’s where you get the nice shape as well. The steak shape almost.”
