Tim Lovejoy has signed up as the new co-host on Five's motoring show Fifth Gear.

The Soccer AM star will share presenting duties with current host Vicki Butler-Henderson for the tenth series of the motoring show.

Speaking of the move, Lovejoy remarked: "I'm looking forward to being part of the successful team on Fifth Gear. It looks good fun and I can't wait to get my hands on those cars."

Producer James Woodroffe added: "Tim joining the team is exciting news for Fifth Gear and adds an extra dimension to the show. He's a cool guy and well connected in the worlds of music, sport and comedy, which will help us expand Fifth Gear's appeal to an even wider audience."

The new series returns on September 25, and promises new features including a behind-the-scenes look at the car stunts on the new Bond film Casino Royale, a rally race between a stunt plane and a car, and a coast to coast road trip fuelled by chip
fat.
