After Matt LeBlanc caused outcry with his Cenotaph stunt, Chris Evans blamed him for the bad PR, causing their relationship to turn 'frosty'

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!

And, once again, I wouldn’t trust an absolute rag like The Sun for any credible information. Considering just how much is “going wrong” it sounds more like a PR stunt.

Heres the thing about top gear…

No matter how much you want to Claim Top Gear is the BBC’s it isnt. Its Clarksons, he built that show from the ground up and now the BBC is trying to get the same results and viewer loyalty by making a bigger cast with more celebrities.

Also Evans is starting to come across like a B*tch with all the TG news. used to like him but starting to dislike his whinny nature if the news is to be believed

I think Matt LeBlanc has a lot of potential, especially with comic relief. Going in with an open mind the trailer looks pretty promising. Only time will tell.
