Matthew Perry is delighted Matt LeBlanc is now Top Gear presenter

MATTHEW PERRY said he is excited to see his former co-star MATT LEBLANC step into the hot seat as Top Gear host.

The two rose to fame as Chandler Bing and Joey Tribbiani on comedy series Friends but Perry is convinced LeBlanc will be “great” at the new presenting gig.

Speaking on ALAN CARR’s Chatty Man show, he said: “It’s a very exciting job for him because he loves cars. He must be thrilled. I haven’t spoken to him since he booked the gig but he is going to be great.”
