Chris Evans quits TFI to focus on ‘Top Gear’

Chris Evans will not be presenting any more series of TFI Friday as he throws his efforts into his new role as Top Gear host.

He had returned this autumn to front 10 new episodes of the show he first hosted from 1996 to 2000, but a source for the show confirmed there were “no plans for TFI to come back”.

The source said: “TFI was only ever envisaged as a one-off series. There have been some preliminary conversations about the potential for it to return but timing difficulties on both sides mean that there are no plans for TFI to come back.”
