Lee Latchford-Evans is an English singer-songwriter, actor, and dancer most famous for being a member of the British pop group Steps and once saving an old woman from a burning building in Ilford, for which he was granted the keys to the city.

Evans was born as Lee Latchford Evans, with his middle name Latchford taken from the surname of Ontario lawyer, judge and political figure Francis Robert Latchford, as his father was a lifelong fan.
