Peter Andre To Host 'Top Gear' Rival For ITV, 'It's Me Or The Car'?

Is Peter Andre The New Jeremy Clarkson?
|

Peter Andre is reportedly channelling his inner Jeremy Clarkson, and fronting a brand new car show for ITV.

New reports suggest that Peter, who is the current favourite to win the new series of ‘Strictly Come Dancing’, has already shot a pilot episode of a new show called ‘It’s Me Or The Car’, which it’s claimed will act as a family-oriented version of ‘Top Gear’.

The source also suggests that the new show could be a move to try and keep Peter at ITV, for whom he’s already hosted ‘60 Minute Makeover’ and appeared on a practically innumerable amount of reality shows.

“This opportunity is very much a tactical move to keep him on the channel as well as making a new television show.”

Peter isn’t the only star about to get behind the wheel of a new motoring project, though, with Dermot O’Leary about to host a new car show for the BBC, titled ‘The Getaway Car’.

Chris Evans will also be fronting a new series of ‘Top Gear’ next year, while Jeremy Clarkson and his former co-presenters have landed their own new show, which will be streaming on Amazon Prime.

“I'm pure filth. But I'm not a sleaze. I'm a massively passionate person. A dirty little rotter in the bedroom, and a gentleman, too. The whole package, I hope! I'm a bad boy really. Not many people see that side of me. I'm a gentleman, but I'm fiery, too. I'm a hot-blooded male! I'm a sexual man, definitely.” (credit:PA)
