Lethal Bizzle Wants To Be The Next Host Of 'Top Gear'

Lethal Bizzle Wants To Be The Next Host Of 'Top Gear'

Says he has way more bants.

I'm assuming that you own a mobile phone and that you follow Lethal Bizzle on at least one social media platform on said phone. His Twitter and Snapchat accounts revolve around two things mostly: Arsenal and cars.

Lethal Bizzle is an energetic, enigmatic and funny guy. You'll be well aware of this if you've ever listened to any of his music or watched his Snapchat story.

His love of cars naturally meant that he has a view on the perilous Top Gear situation. His view is that he'd like to replace Chris Evans. Apparently he was approached to present it a while back and thinks that he now has a second chance to helm the show.

'I have more bants than Chris does anyway,' he told the Daily Star.

Bizzle admits that replacing Clarkson was always going to be difficult because 'No one really likes change, I think they did an OK job but I would have been an better presenter than Chris Evans.'

He then mentioned that bants is key to it all. 'The first few episodes you could really tell Chris wasn't used to it, the thing is you have got to have bants - it's a car show but it needs bants,' he added.

Chris resigned at the end of the six episode series that saw ratings plummet. Even though Evans vehemently denied that there were any issues it seems he may have been fibbing.

Bizzle thinks he has a better understanding of the youth of today, who watch the show though: 'To relate to a younger audience you need people who they respect and can relate to. It's a well known fact that I'm a big fan of cars.

'I'll bring a total different energy to the show. If I keep making noise about it you never know.'

It's unclear what the BBC will do to save the show but they certainly need to do something to win the viewers back.
