James Martin may join 'Top Gear' as new host

Chef James Martin might join comedy talk show "Top Gear" as the new host following the departure of Chris Evans.
The 44-year-old TV presenter said he is now one of the bookies' favourites but has not got an official call from the creators yet, reported Contactmusic.
"Apparently I'm the bookies' favourite. I walked past a bookies in Leeds and saw my name on there, and I thought: 'What the hell's going on there?' I was top of the list. But the phone hasn't rung yet," he said.
Martin previously presented a cookery show "Saturday Kitchen" on BBC One and is currently hosting "This Morning".

While talking about his fondness for cars, Martin said, "I enjoy my cars and I like collecting them, but 'Top Gear' is a really tough show - it's a different ball game.
