Patrick Holland, BBC Two Channel Editor, said at the time: “I am thrilled that Matt LeBlanc is returning to Top Gear.
A picture of the trio laughing was uploaded to the official Top Gear Twitter account, LeBlanc writing on his social media account: “It was kinda funny.”
Work on the next season of Top Gear has officially begun, with Matt LeBlanc, Rory Reid and Chris Harris pictured together at the track in Dunsfold.
Less than a month ago, LeBlanc signed a reported £2 million deal with the BBC to return to their flagship motor show.
