It’s a decision that won’t surprise many.
When Chris Evans took over as co-host of the new look Top Gear along with former Friends star, Matt LeBlanc, there was a lot of pressure on the duo to succeed.
While LeBlanc has impressed in spells in his new role, the TFI Friday stalwart Evans has infuriated many a viewer with his presenting style, with a lot of people calling for his head.
And that is exactly what has occurred this afternoon, with Evans taking to Twitter to announce his departure from the hit show.
Stepping down from Top Gear. Gave it my best shot but sometimes that's not enough. The team are beyond brilliant, I wish them all the best.
