Speculation has been rife about who will replace Jeremy Clarkson as host of Top Gear, and it seems there is now a new contender in the mix. Sue Perkins is the latest favourite with bookmakers placing her at 2-1 odds along with Dermot O'Leary.
The Great British Bake Off presenter seems to have received some backlash from the rumours which she took to Twitter to address;
Just back from night shoot in Kolkata sewers to find my timeline busy with middle-aged man-trolls. General gist: Man do cars, woman do cake

Presenter and model Jodie Kidd comes in next at 5-2 followed by Chris Evans (6-1), comedian, Steve Coogan (10-1) and comedian John Bishop (14-1).
While Coral are offering 1-3 odds on a female hosting Top Gear when it returns to TV screens.
We're kind of rooting for Dermot still, who would you like to see replace Clarkson? Vote in our poll!
