Matt LeBlanc comes across as a likeable enough chap, judging by the interviews I’ve seen, but it looks like the same can’t be said for Top Gear co-host Chris Evans.

Sources close to the show claim that LeBlanc is considering quitting the show because, well, Chris Evans is a bit of a dick.

Over to the Telegraph:

The American presenter, 48, is said to be concerned about Evans’s rudeness towards other members of the team, with some suggesting he also is frustrating to film with…

A source [said] : “The team does not gel and the atmosphere between the presenters is frosty.”

They added: “Matt’s indicated he won’t continue on any further series if Chris remains. He is far from the only one who is not happy.”

As it stands the BBC are refusing to comment on the matter, whilst a spokesman for LeBlanc denied the claim and said there had been no such discussions,

There is something of a history here though:

At the end of last year, Lisa Clark, its executive producer, quit amid claims about Evans’s tyrannical manner, with one source at the time alleging the presenter thought he could “trample over everyone”.

Why can’t everyone just be ‘Friends’?
