Bullying claims a witch hunt, says Top Gear’s Chris Evans

New Top Gear host Chris Evans has hit back at claims he is a bully, saying the allegations are “ridiculous”.

The presenter, who is at the helm of a team of six who will front the new version of the show, has been accused of being “out of control” by former colleagues.

But the star while denying the programme has already run into problems has told the Sunday Mirror that the accusations of bullying have hurt his family.
