Top Gear could be set to be hosted by a different person each week after Jeremy Clarkson's axing by the BBC, according to reports.

The corporation is said to be ready to follow the model used on current affairs quiz show Have I Got News For You? after offering Mr Clarkson's former co-hosts James May and Richard Hammond up to £1m a year to remain in their roles.

A source told the Independent of the plan as the motoring show's future remains unclear.

Mr May and Mr Hammond were said to have been ready to quit the show after Mr Clarkson was axed following a "fracas" with a producer in a row at a hotel.

The former Top Gear trio appeared on stage together last month for Clarkson, Hammond and May Live.

The arena tour was originally planned as a series of Top Gear Live shows - but which has been stripped of official branding after the incident in which producer Oisin Tymon suffered a split lip.

The trio told an audience: "We've had a lot of interest in our TV show from all around the world.

"Who knows what will happen."
