However, The Daily Mirror is reporting Saturday Kitchen star and celebrity chef James Martin is on the verge of landing Evans’ role as Top Gear host; meeting with BBC executives this week to discuss the changeover.
A source stated: “James’ nose was put out of joint when he didn’t get the Top Gear job last time around.

Perhaps more pressing, as well, is whether current co-host Matt LeBlanc intends to return at all; the actor telling press, “I’m not sure what’s happening with Top Gear just yet.
