American actor Matt LeBlanc has been announced as one of the new presenters of Top Gear, alongside Chris Evans, when the show returns to BBC Two this May.

LeBlanc commented 'As a car nut and a massive fan of Top Gear, I'm honoured and excited to be a part of this iconic show's new chapter. What a thrill!'. Evans added 'Matt's a lifelong fellow petrolhead and I'm thrilled he's joining Top Gear. Acting out our craziest car notions on screen is a dream job and I know we'll both be debating some epic road trip ideas. We can't wait to share what we've been up to on screen later this year'.
