Matt LeBlanc has reportedly threatened to quit Top Gear if his co-host Chris Evans is kept on for another series.
Despite both Matt and Chris dismissing rumours that they aren’t best buds, talk of a rift has resurfaced.
The Sun claims there is a ‘frosty atmosphere’ between Chris and Matt, and Matt has become ‘frustrated’ with Evans’ behaviour towards the other presenters.
And it’s got the point that the US has apparently said he will walk if Evans is brought back for series two.
BBC bosses could be forced to choose between the two as they are said to have already agreed to pay Matt for a further two runs.
The second series might even be put on the back burner while they make their decision.
A source said: ‘The big question now is who goes and who stays.
‘The team does not gel at all, and the atmosphere between the presenters is decidedly frosty. It’s very much a picture of him – Chris – and them.

Top gear without the Three shouldn't have happened anyway.
Pull the plug on Top Gear and do a new show. Stop trying to live off the old name. This is only extra embarrassing and painful because it's riding off of the old name with the elegance of a drunk in a race car. Nobody would have cared if it was it's own show.
Watch as they choose Evans over Matt LeBlanc
I actually enjoy the segments with Matt and Eddie, my main gripe is with Chris. Those guys are just doing their thing, but you can tell Chris is desperate to try and get everyone to enjoy the show and come across as cool and funny, but he's just fucking irritating.
Regarding the article, I doubt it's true but I suppose we'll see.
a lot of people seem to think that chris was purposely brought in as a scapegoat to draw attention away from the others, which is odd but alright
I would watch the show if they dropped chris
Every time I see Top Gear is on I get so excited and then when I realize it's a 2016 episode I'm really disappointed
The new guys fucking suck. They have no personality - they actually make the show boring as hell
Please keep matt
Get rid of that annoying twat. He yells at the audience when they don't laugh.
I haven't watched any of the new stuff besides some snippets, but I already know they need more Sabine.
Honestly I think the show should have been Harris, Reid, and Sabine, and maybe LeBlanc. I've liked everything from those first three so far.
Yeah, Evans is by far the weakest link, although if I'm to be honest, I am warming up to the new crew. They're not complete shit
More tabloid news, I'll believe it when it happens
Don't get me wrong I think new Top Gear is shit, I'm just waiting for The Grand Tour to surface
lol the article basically says "despite the rumors of the two not getting along to be unproven shit, this rumor has some credence trust us guys ;)"
I tried watching the first episode and couldn't make it past 10 minutes without cringing

To be fair, give them time. When James May first co-hosted the old Top Gear he was very awkward. It took the trio a few seasons before they found the right formula.
I actually like the new crew, Chris tho, man he seems so out of place.

this is the luxury chris evans experience, doesn't get much better than this
so when are they bringing on [I]westwood baybee[/I]
When your LIVE show has to edit in a laugh track, you're probably doing something wrong.
I think what this show is doing wrong so far is letting Chris Evans exist.
What if they replaced him with the other Chris Evans that people actually like?
Then UK Top Gear will be hosted by two Americans.

Why not? We let the British host shows over here.

They should replace Chris Evans with Matthew Perry
'could this car [I]be[/I] any faster?'

Top Gear hosted by Joey, Ross and Chandler in character
fund it
From all i've heard of Matt LeBlanc, he's a pretty chill, nice guy. So if he's at this point, that should tell you all you need to hear about Chris Evans.

Yeah, not a great source if this whole story originates from The Sun. They'll print anything that sells, I wouldn't be surprised if this was completely bogus.
