6 Best Top Gear Presenter Replacements For Jeremy Clarkson

3. Chris Evans

The early favourite for the job was Radio 2 DJ Chris Evans, and it's not hard to see why. The 48-year-old has racked up an impressive car collection, with his crown jewel coming in the form of a £12 million 1963 Ferrari 250GTO. Like Humphrey, he knows how the BBC is run, and is currently involved with The One Show as well as his regular radio slot, but he has since ruled himself out of the running. Speaking on his breakfast show about rumours he was in talk for the job, on the morning of Clarkson's sacking, he declared: "This is not true. Not only is it not true - it's absolute nonsense. It's never going to happen."
