If there’s anything that’s captured the hearts and minds of the
British public over the last few months it’s the question of whether the

the announcement has certainly caused a stir among the online community,
who have taken to Twitter in predictable fashion to announce their
views on the news.

LeBlanc previously set the fastest celebrity lap time in the reasonably priced car when the show was hosted by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May.
