Driving without wings?
Chris Evans has responded to Top Gear’s suffering ratings by getting the hell out of there, leaving a vacancy that plenty in the TV business will jump at the chance to fill.
One of those jumpers is former Westlife singer and Irish pop-star Brian McFadden, who has made it known that he’d happily take the driver’s seat.
McFadden, 36, sent a few tweets out to the Top Gear account letting them know he’s ready to take their call.
Dear @BBC_TopGear I will happily drive the best cars in the world and get paid for it! AND be pretty happy about it!

He’s also undertaken a vow not to pull a Clarkson on it.
And @BBC_TopGear I promise not to punch any producers or hit on anyone! Except matt le blanc. He's dreamy

Just had two missed calls. If that's you @BBC_TopGear I'm on set at the moment. Please contact my manager @DanJParker speak slow. He drinks!

We’ve got our fingers crossed for you Brian, especially considering your commitment to the role.
So @BBC_TopGear said they're looking for a female anchor. No problem!!! I'm very versatile. pic.twitter.com/KXQvUbQfKe
