LAST NIGHT, IT was announced that Chris Evans would succeed Jeremy Clarkson as host of Top Gear.
The Radio 2 DJ, known for presenting the likes of TFI Friday and The One Show, has signed a three-year deal to host the car show, which is broadcast in 214 countries around the world.
Many fans congratulated Evans on his appointment — even James May.
