Former Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson will make his TV return on Chris Evans’ Channel 4 show, TFI Friday - but Evans is not making a film for Top Gear.
Yesterday (June 7) Evans told Channel 4's Sunday Brunch that he was making a "secret Top Gear film". But the BBC responded on Monday, stating that Evans was not making any film for Top Gear.
However, Evans and Clarkson will appear together on TFI Friday when it returns to Channel 4 for a one-off 20th anniversary special this Friday, June 12.
Evans, who has been among the favourites to take over from Clarkson on Top Gear, told Sunday Brunch presenter Tim Lovejoy: "Not started yet, but we are doing a secret Top Gear film on Tuesday."
Lovejoy replied: "It's not so secret now."
Evans went on: "It still will be, because nobody knows where it's going to be. We're making a Top Gear - we’re doing a Top Gear sequence with an independent production company and we're going to see how it goes."
But now it's thought to be a Top Gear sequence only in the sense that it will feature Clarkson, who was infamously axed from the show earlier this year after assaulting producer Oisin Tymon.
