The 'Top Gear' bosses are reportedly searching a new producer to help turn the show around as the viewers are gradually losing interest in it.
The revamped motoring show, which was launched last month, has failed to impress the viewers and critics and, therefore, the BBC has reportedly advertised for a new 'Top Gear' producer to take control away from the main presenter Chris Evans, reports Channel.24.
"Chris was in complete creative control for a long time and it hasn't worked. The fact that the BBC is now hiring shows real intent, that it's about being an ensemble and not all about Chris," a source was quoted as saying.
The source added, "They are clearly very embarrassed by all of this and are not advertising the job externally."
In a statement, a spokesperson for Top Gear said, "We're adding a Series Producer to the team because Top Gear is a huge show and we have even greater ambitions for the next series."
Meanwhile, it is being said that Matt LeBlanc, who joined the show alongside Chris earlier this year, would quit if his co-host does not leave the show first.

A source said, "Matt has already indicated that he won't continue on any further series if Chris remains a part of it. And he is far from the only one who isn't happy."
Earlier, Lisa Clark quit the show allegedly due to clashes with the 'Captain America: Civil War' star.
