Top Gear presenter Chris Evans has revealed that he had a "hairy" moment filming scenes for the motoring series in Ireland.
The TV star had nothing but good things to say about the experience of shooting in Ireland, saying the country is "simply stunning", but added that he did have occasion to be worried at one point during filming.
"Wow, did we love filming in Ireland. It was brilliant, it really was - but then again, all the shoots went so well," he said.
"The footage and finished pieces look amazing. I think some people will find it hard to believe that this is Ireland. It was stunning, simply stunning.
"If you get Ireland on the right day and go to the right places, it doesn't get any better, really. You just need to do a contract with somebody about the weather."
However, Evans added that everything didn't go smoothly during the shoot, telling the Irish Independent that while filming a drive between Killarney and Dingle he had quite a scary moment.
"That drive over the mountains on the last day of filming was quite hairy for me. I bombed out at one stage and there were sparks under the car," he said.
"Matt (LeBlanc) was behind (in his car) and he jumped out and said, 'hey buddy, you alright?', but I was fine. There are always hairy moments on those shoots."
The presenter wouldn't rule out the possibility of the show returning to film in Ireland for the next series, saying: "In the coming weeks, we'll sit down and look at all of that. Of course I love Ireland but we'll wait and see."
