Matt LeBlanc is unsure of how his 'Top Gear' career is going to progress. To be fair, can anyone blame him? If it was me, I'd be running as fast as I could in the opposite direction after the amount of shit he's had to put up with.

At a panel discussion for his new TV show Man with a Plan, he told reporters that he wasn't 'sure what's happening with Top Gear just yet', adding that the new CBS sitcom he was promoting was his "priority".

However, on Wednesday he spoke to Variety. When asked about whether he'd be starring in a new series, he answered :"I'd like to. There's nothing officially happening just yet - call the BBC."

I feel like we're getting mixed messages here. Does he want to or not?!

Since the Top Gear relaunch, I think we can all agree that LeBlanc was the best thing about it. No offence to Chris Evans, but it just didn't work. Fingers crossed that LeBlanc will come back for another series but, as previously mentioned, would you really blame him if he didn't?

Also, if you're wondering about the new sitcom he's starring in, Man with a Plan, he plays a building contractor whose wife goes back to work. The result is that he agrees to spend more time with his kids. Will it be more successful than Joey?

Yes. Yes it will.
