Sue Perkins to host Top Gear

Great British Bake Off's Sue Perkins new favourite to replace Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear

Sue Perkins is being lined up to replace Jeremy Clarkson on 'Top Gear'.

The 45-year-old presenter, who is perhaps best known for fronting 'The Great British Bake Off' and is currently dating fellow presenter Anna Richardson, is among the candidates being considered to replace the controversial TV personality, who was axed for punching producer Oisin Tymon last month.
