Chris Evans is leaving "TFI Friday" to focus on "Top Gear" where he'll reportedly be the only regular presenter.

Evans returned to Channel 4's entertainment show for its 10-episode run. He first hosted "TFI Friday" from 1996 to 2000. However, an unnamed source told The Guardian it was only planned "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," the source said.


With one less show off his plate, the 49-year-old can now focus his energy on his role as the new "Top Gear" frontman.

The Guardian said he'll be joined by German racing driver Sabine Schmitz, former Formula One champ David Coulthard and journalist Chris Harris.

But Evans' co-presenters may not be regular presenters after all.

"It is all a bit up in the air but this assumption that there will be a trio of presenters isn't necessarily the correct one," a senior BBC source told Radio Times.

"It's going to be very surprising," the source added.

The website recalled that Evans revealed that he was contemplating on ditching the three-presenter format that former "Top Gear" presenters Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May were known.

"They're the Three Stooges, they are the Bee Gees, they are that and I'm not, I'm me," he said at the time.

"I'm on my own, so do I form a band or not?"

Co-presenters have yet to be confirmed although "Top Gear" production is currently underway.

For now, the question now is, will Chris Evans host The BBC's hit motoring show by himself with other stars appearing from time to time?

Fans will have to wait just a few more months when "Top Gear" returns to BBC2 in May.
