Chris Evans has revealed the Top Gear return date.

Top Gears new presenter revealed that the motoring show will be racing back onto our screens on May 5, 2016.

Evans said that the team had “already started making the films” and that “the films are good”.

He added: “We’re going to America to make our first inter-continental in January [and we’re] making another film next week.

“By the time we hit the air on May 5, we’ll have 32 films in the can as they say.​”

There will be 16 new episodes of Top Gear when it relaunches in May next year. Evans has picked his Top Gear presenting team, ​but is keeping tight-lipped about their identities.
