Iconic driver to return as BBC plans Top Gear reboot with new presenters

Jump to contentAllNewsSportCultureLifestyleThe BBC is preparing to reboot the long-running motoring series Top Gear following a hiatus after presenter Andrew Flintoff suffered a near-fatal accident during filming in 2022. While the forthcoming version will feature a revamped format and a fresh lineup of presenters, reports indicate that the iconic masked driver known as The Stig is set to return. A show insider explained that bringing back The Stig provides essential continuity, linking the new era with previous series ranging from the Jeremy Clarkson era to the most recent 2022 broadcasts. An entirely new presenting team will take over the series, with comedian Jimmy Carr rumoured to be among the contenders being considered for the new lineup. Although the BBC has not yet confirmed an official broadcast schedule, the revamped motoring show is currently expected to return to television screens next year.
