On the 28th of January 1975 in Chester at exactly 5.25 in the morning a member of STEPS was born. Infact Lee Latchford Evans was born at precisely the same time as his sister with the only difference being that she was born in the evening. As with the other four members of the band Lee managed to get into trouble when he was younger. Although he didn't actually do anything really bad he did break a few windows whenever he was playing football! At school he really enjoyed his CDT lessons because he got the chance to make all sorts of things like video cabinets. He didn't mind school as long as he never had to do anything really boring! Instead of having one really close friend, Lee had a gang of mates who always used to hang around Seymour Drive which was where he lived at the time. From the age of 14 onwards however a guy called Simon Grisdale became a close friend of his. Lee and his friends could always be found on the football pitch having a kick around. And every Saturday night his parents would go out and leave his friends to watch videos and generally have a good time. They wisely left bin bags around for rubbish so the house didn't look like a bomb site when they got back in! The first time Lee got into showbiz was when he was at infant school. He played King Herrod in the Nativity play. He wasn't all to happy about playing the baddie though, and went home crying to his mum because he didn't want to be the one that killed Jesus! Lee always knew how to attract attention as he proved to pop star Danni Minogue at one roadshow. Despite the crowd being told that they must be deadly silent because the show was to go out on air live, he took no notice. Just as everyone had settled down ready for the performance and were all quiet, he jumped up shouting "Daaaaaniiiii!". Luckily the celebrity didn't mind and blew him a kiss and waved to him, something that has remained in his heart ever since! The first records Lee bought were pop anthem "Karma Chameleon" by Culture Club and "Pass The Dutchie" by Musical Youth. His first crush was on Helena Christiansen, and his latest was on actress Salma Hayek. When he was younger Lee wanted to become a professional footballer, and came very close to achieveing that goal (did you get it?). Still, he may not be a footballer but he is a member of STEPS and he loves it. It is his biggest triumph in life as he had always wanted to leave his mark on the world and now he has. He does feel that he didn't push himself enough when he was younger and believes that he missed out on a lot of things because of it. His favourite TV program is the comedy Friends, he also loves funny movies and will laugh until he cries if someone tickles him! Lee has presented numerous shows on TV including the Pepsi Chart twice, doing a magnificent job. He has also presented CD:UK with the rest of the band for a Steptastic Easter special earlier this year. You will be able to see more of Lee in the coming months as he and the other four Steppers will be leaving the millenium with the biggest party known to man on their 33 date record breaking tour. On which Lee performs a song written by himself. And if that isn't enough for you, the band will be hitting the road again in May 2000. He will also be joining the rest of STEPS on the new series of TV shows starting in January 2000 on CBBC, 'STEPS To The Stars'. You will be able to catch him on a different episode each week in a run of eight shows.
