Brian McFadden fancies himself as Chris Evans’ replacement on Top Gear

Carl Kinsella

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.

He’s also undertaken a vow not to pull a Clarkson on it.

We’ve got our fingers crossed for you Brian, especially considering your commitment to the role.
