The BBC has reportedly chosen a "dream team" of presenters for its new version of Top Gear, including former model Jodie Kidd.

Life on Mars star Philip Glenister and Channel 4 presenter Guy Martin have also been approached for the new series, according to reports.

Kidd, who is the granddaughter of Canadian newspaper baron Lord Beaverbrook, presents Channel 5's The Classic Car Show.

The broadcaster's chiefs are said to be desperate to find a new set of presenters after they sacked Jeremy Clarkson, who was involved in a fracas with producer Oisin Tymon.
