Former Formula One team owner and presenter of the BBC's coverage of the sport Eddie Jordan is set to be named as the next presenter on Top Gear.

It is believed that the 67-year-old is set to sign a contract for the BBC2 show's revamp following the departure of long-standing presenters Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond.

The news comes a day after former Friends star and petrolhead Matt Le Blanc was named as Chris Evans' first co-presenter.

An insider told the Guardian that Evans and Jordan have known each other for years and his expert technical knowledge will be an asset to the show.

The BBC has declined to comment on the third presenter role.

It is thought that Eddie will become part of a five-person presenting team, with German racing driver Sabine Schmitz and motoring journalist Chris Harris set to sign on.

will not be the same without Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond.
