This week it was announced that Matt Le Blanc would take over hosting duties on motor show Top Gear alongside Chris Evans.
The news came as a surprise, even though a closer look at his Twitter account over the last few weeks would have probably tipped us off.

Subtle.
The rumour mill has already started turning about what the former Friends actor will be earning.
According to The Mirror, the actor could be on a £500,000 salary to co-host the top BBC show.
If true, this is considerably less than his co-host Chris Evans who will be raking in £3m per year.
It looks like former host Jeremy Clarkson gets the last laugh though, as he is reportedly on a whopping £800,000 per episode at Amazon, ten times what he was making at the BBC.
Mind blowing.
