Neil Morrissey has landed a presenting deal for a new BBC Two series.
The former Men Behaving Badly actor will host Petrolheads, an entertainment show which is being described as a cross between Have I Got News For You and Top Gear.
"I wouldn't describe myself as a petrolhead because I'm not geeky about cars," Morrissey told The Mirror. "But I enjoy driving and am definitely interested in the subject. I got a real kick out of racing the reasonably priced car round the Top Gear circuit."
The show will be given a Friday night slot and is expected to begin airing in February next year.
One source added, "It's basically a comedy/entertainment show about cars. It's being made by the people behind Top Gear and it's likely to include some of their line-up."
