New Top Gear's Bad Luck Continues As Chris Evans And Matt LeBlanc Have Fallen Out
We really want to give the BBC’s new Top Gear a chance, but it seems to be completely unable to avoid problems. There’s been the fact that Chris Evans is reportedly a nightmare on set, writers have quit, and members of the team were unable to get into Kazakhstan for a shoot - and that’s before we even talk about the Cenotaph stunt.
It’s the latter issue that’s at the centre of the latest problem for the BBC show, as The Sun is reporting that Chris Evans and Matt LeBlanc have fallen out over the bad PR the show received following the incident. LeBlanc had jumped onboard Ken Block’s Hoonicorn for a drifty ride around London, but the pair got close to a war memorial, upsetting many Brits.
According to The Sun’s story, Evans has not forgiven LeBlanc for causing outrage, with a source claiming “their relationship’s deteriorated. Chris thinks Matt severely damaged the brand…Behind the scenes it’s very frosty between them.”
We get that the stress and pressure associated with following up one of the biggest television shows in the world must be immense, but come on, guys, pull your acts together. We want another awesome car show on the telly, so we’d rather you didn’t throw it all away over petty squabbles!

I think they need Dr. Geobaz.

“We really want to give the BBC’s new Top Gear a chance”
I don’t buy any of this “rough start” good marketing strategy though
Their squabble sounds exactly how me and my ex-friend get along now..I resent his guts each day but back then it was never like that.
“Chris thinks Matt severely damaged the brand” facepalms your doing a good enough job if it yourself you twit
If anything, Chris Evans seems to appear to be the root of the problems going on. Not saying he’s a bad person, but something should be done about that.
chirp chirp
This new top gear is gonna be like when they try to remake a really good movie and just destroy the rep (i.e. Italian job)
Chris thinks MATT damaged the brand?! Reality check please.
