Why Jodie Kidd Turned Down A Job At 'New' Top Gear

Model, car buff and presenter of Channel 5’s The Classic Car Show Jodie Kidd says that she turned down a job at new Top Gear because it would have been "all-consuming". In her interview with The Telegraph, Kidd said:

“I love doing all the different things I am doing in my life at the moment. Top Gear is the most brilliant show on this planet but it would just take over your soul. That would be it. Through ups and downs and lefts and rights I have got to an amazing place where everything is finally balanced, and balanced for my family too.”

Kidd did say, however, that a woman will probably front the show to give a new perspective on things. The woman of choice will likely be a left-field presenter who doesn’t have big TV commitments already.

Let’s all pray that Sabine Schmitz gets the Top Gear gig!
