Stepping down from Top Gear. Gave it my best shot but sometimes that's not enough. The team are beyond brilliant, I wish them all the best.

He presented the show alongside former Friends star Matt LeBlanc; replacing Jeremy Clarkson who was dropped by the BBC last year after he hit and verbally abused a producer.
In a follow-up tweet, Evans gave a glimpse of what his future outside Top Gear looks like.
Full steam ahead then with Radio 2, CarFest, Children In Need, 500 Words and whatever else we can dream up in the future.
