Chris Evans hasn’t exactly been a hit with ‘Top Gear’ fans, and his decision to jokily pinch Jeremy Clarkson’s famous catchphrase, to close an episode of ‘The One Show’, hasn’t gone down well.
On Friday afternoon it was announced that Chris will depart ‘The One Show’, in order to focus on rebooting the motoring show.
