Chris Evans, the new Top Gear host hit back at claims that he was a bully, calling these allegations “ridiculous”. While he will be leading a team of six presenters, he has also been accused of being “out of control” by his former colleagues.
However, the presenter denied any trouble and told Sunday Mirror that the accusation of bullying have hurt his family. He said, “All these bullying claims and other allegations are just ridiculous.”
Terming the accusations as a “witch-hunt”, he said his wife and two young children prefer to live a normal life. Evans has been accused of bullying colleagues when he worked on The Big Breakfast in the 1990s.
Claiming he was “out of control” his former radio sidekick, John Revell said that even BBC bosses were scared of him. Evans, however, trashed these allegations and said, “I’m not a bully. But of course if you sling enough mud, some will stick to the wall.”
