The rollercoaster life story of a man who had one of the most in-demand faces on the planet is revealed in the first episode of a brand-new Express podcast series.

Available on Spotify and YouTube from today, On The Edge is a series that tells gritty true stories from people pushed to the brink.

Guests range from gangsters to celebrity chef’s prodigies and undercover cops. These in-depth interviews will make you think differently about topics ranging from crime and drugs to love and fame.

The first episode is an interview with Rob Evans who went overnight from training in a run-down Oxfordshire boxing gym to headlining the catwalk at Paris Fashion Week.

Sitting down with host and investigations editor Zak Garner-Purkis, Evans describes how he tried to keep his head during a dizzying ascent that culminated in him becoming a judge on America's Next Top Model.
