Early life
From Ellesmere Port, Evans was born as Lee Latchford Evans, with his middle name Latchford taken from the surname Bob Latchford, Everton Centre Forward, as his father was a lifelong fan. At the point which he started performing professionally, the comedian Lee Evans was well known, and so he started to use Latchford and hence was known as Lee Latchford for a short time. He later changed his name to Latchford Evans (without the hyphen).
After school, he went on to study dance at West Cheshire College in Ellesmere Port, at a new facility for performing arts, Named, The Cheshire School Of Dance and Drama. Following his foundation course, he then went on to study at Laine Theatre Arts in Epsom.
Career
In 1997, Evans became a member of the pop group Steps; they went on to sell 14 consecutive Top 5 singles (a feat for a British act, at the time, bettered only by the Beatles), sold more than 20 million records worldwide. They announced their split on Boxing Day 2001. His role in the group was mostly choreographer and providing backing vocals, and he rarely sang lead on the songs. However, he did perform lead on "Turn Around" (which he co-wrote) and the two verses of 5,6,7,8.
Evans has appeared in London's West End starring in Grease; A Charmed Life as part of London's Sitcom Trials, and he made his debut at the Fringe Festival in Edinburgh in August 2009 in the production of Wolfboy. He played the Prince in Rotherhams Pantomime version of Snow White in 2010. Latchford-Evans has appeared in the reality television shows The Games, Fear Factor, I'm Famous and Frightened!, The Match and went on to win Commando VIP. In 2006, he appeared in a new reality show on MTV, Totally Boyband. This show was from the same creators as the show Totally Scott-Lee, which featured his ex-colleague Lisa Scott-Lee and her family. In 2008 he appeared as part of Team Ant on Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway. He also appeared on Never Mind The Buzzcocks in October 2010. Steps have recently announced that they will be filming a four-part documentary for Sky Living, which will be aired late September 2011. He appeared in Ten Dead Men (2008) produced by Phil Hobden, and also appeared in Britflick Cash and Curry playing the villain, Casper Warrington-Boothe.
