Chris Evans quits Top Gear after one series
Chris Evans has suddenly quit the BBC’s Top Gear a day after his first series in charge of the BBC2 motoring show finished with its lowest ratings since 2002.
The Radio 2 breakfast show presenter, who took charge of the show following the axing of Jeremy Clarkson last year, said he had given it his best show but “sometimes that’s not enough”.
The return of the show has been plagued by executive departures and reports of tension on the
Top Gear set, not least with Evans’ co-presenter, Matt LeBlanc.
