Chris Evans has stepped down from his hosting role on BBC’s Top Gear, the radio and TV presenter has announced on Twitter.
Stepping down from Top Gear. Gave it my best shot but sometimes that’s not enough. The team are beyond brilliant, I wish them all the best.

He added: “Full steam ahead then with Radio 2, CarFest, Children In Need, 500 Words and whatever else we can dream up in the future.”
Evans’ announcement follows the end of the series, which came to a crashing halt with a series low 1.9 million viewers on Sunday.
