The BBC has reportedly chosen a “dream team” of presenters for its new version of Top Gear that includes the former model Jodie Kidd.

Life on Mars star Philip Glenister and Channel 4 presenter Guy Martin have also been approached for the new series, according to reports.

• Revealed: Who Telegraph readers want to replace Clarkson

Ms Kidd, who is the granddaughter of Canadian newspaper baron Lord Beaverbrook, currently presents Channel 5's Classic Cars Show.

Corporation chiefs are said to be desperate to find a new set of presenters after they were forced to sack Jeremy Clarkson, while co-presenters Richard Hammond and James May refused to sign new contracts.

The programme’s co-creator Andy Wilman was overheard discussing the new line up over lunch with Jamiroquai singer Jay Kay in Sussex, the Sunday Express reported.
Ms Kidd, who holds one of the fastest lap times in Top Gear’s “star in a reasonably priced car" challenge has remained tight-lipped amid mounting speculation she will be offered the role.
Speaking to reporters in April, the 36-year-old said it was “all changing” on the BBC programme, which is among the corporation’s most lucrative exports.
“It's going to be interesting, the next couple of months," she said, but refused to confirm whether she would stand in for Clarkson, who was sacked in March after a fracas with producer Oisin Tymon.

The presenter was found to have split Mr Tymon’s lip and verbally abused him after a BBC investigation.
Jeremy Clarkson is still to appear on the series of live shows, planned before he was sacked from Top Gear, called "Clarkson, Hammond and May".
The shows will be stripped of all BBC branding and content.

Great news, I cant even be bothered watching the current Top Gear its all bum jokes and the mock u mentories are crap.

Bullshit circling the internet. Guy Martin has denied being approached by the BBC.

Wasn't Ronnie o'sulivan doing it last week?!

That would be a terrible line up.

Guy martin say's he to busy, Jodie still doing classic car show and i think she still does stuff for 5th gear, Philip Glenister doing for the love of cars(great show). will just have to wait and see,
Clarkson has posted pictures on twitter filming a new tv show..i wonder what channel

sod clarkson and his talentless cronies.

I'm not sure what to think on one hand top gear without the three I can't imagine but I have thought for sometime that the format was becoming a little stale but hopes for both the show and the old presenters to prosper alone

Fire up the Quattro I say :)

If the new team can get away with being anti-pc then bring it on. If not, then kill the show off and we can all watch 5th gear reruns

Well it's officially been confirmed as Chris Evans, I suppose he's the better of the choices being thrown about.

He's usually quite close to the mark at times so it could work.

James May may also do bits and bobs for the new show. No word on any other members of the team yet.

Chris fucking evans? Doesnt everyone hate him?

I rec they should just have guest hosts like HIGNFY did for a while.

And he has confirmed that there will deffo be a woman on the team.

Which is nice

Jodie Kidd, Suzi Perry or Vicki Butler Henderson are the 3 front runners surely?

Did that with never mind the buzzcocks as well.

Not sure that's a great idea as, certainly I did, some might see who is presenting one week and if they weren't liked not watch that episode.
