Matt LeBlanc: 'Chris Evans and I are not at war'

Top Gear presenter Matt LeBlanc has dismissed claims he and Chris Evans are "at war" as "bull****".

The pair, who were announced as hosts of the popular car show earlier this year, have been the subject of reports alleging they do not get on.

Top Gear will return to screens this weekend with a cast of seven presenters.

Former Friends actor LeBlanc told the Radio Times: "All this stuff that Chris and I are at war with each other is a big load of bullshit. We've never had a rift!

"I'm a true car fan, Chris is a true car fan. We're hanging out, having a laugh, doing our best.

"He is an extremely smart guy. I'd beat him in a race, though - and you can tell him I said that".
