BBC to significantly cut Chris Evans’ Top Gear role
The people have spoken and the BBC apparently is finally giving them what they want: much less Chris Evans, much more Chris Harris.
According to the Telegraph, Top Gear host Evans will have his role in presenting the motoring show significantly dialled back after viewing figures for last Sunday’s episode reached a new low.
The third episode, the first to fully feature motoring journalist and prominent YouTuber Harris, received the most positive reviews yet but was watched live by just 2.37 million viewers.
As a result, while Evans and Matt LeBlanc will continue as the main anchors, pre-recorded material featuring Harris and fellow Extra Gear host Rory Reid will be used more prominently in the series.
Reid, who won his place on the show via public auditions, also Tweeted yesterday to confirmed that both himself and Chris Harris would now feature on the main Top Gear show every Sunday.
