Top Gear is to return to TV, the BBC has confirmed, four years after the show was "rested" when co-host Andrew Flintoff was injured in a crash during filming.
The long-running motoring programme has been off air since 2022, when the former cricketer suffered serious facial and rib injuries when his open-topped three-wheeled car overturned at the show's test track.
He was one of three presenters at the time along with Paddy McGuinness and Chris Harris.
The hosting line-up for the comeback has not yet been announced, although the Sun newspaper last week reported that comedian Jimmy Carr was in talks to join. BBC Studios told the newspaper at the time that they did not comment on speculation.
