Guy Martin turned down 'Top Gear' because he doesn't see TV as "real work".
The 'Speed with Guy Martin' presenter has claimed he's more dedicated to his job as a full-time truck fitter than he is to his occasional TV projects, which is why he decided not to accept the role of co-host on the revamped motoring show.
He explained: "If I'd done 'Top Gear' I would have had to have left my job and I've got the best job in the world. To do 'Top Gear' and do it properly would mean leaving work and I can't. I don't want to leave work.
"I do all that TV stuff and it's not real work. It's bred in me that I only see real work as getting stuck in and getting your hands dirty. I don't see coming down to London and talking to people and making TV shows as real work. The only reason I do it is because they keep coming up with decent ideas."
The 34-year-old daredevil confessed he even pulled out of a day of filming at the last minute once because he was needed at work back home in Grimsby.
Guy told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I always prioritise the trucks. Once, I was supposed to film at Goodwood. They'd booked everything. Then my boss reminded me about a big job we had. So I cancelled filming."
BBC Radio 2 DJ Chris Evans was named as the new host of 'Top Gear' earlier this year after Jeremy Clarkson was sacked for punching a producer.
However, he's yet to reveal who will be joining him on his new presenting line-up.
Meanwhile, Clarkson and his former 'Top Gear' colleagues Richard Hammond and James May are set to present a new car show for Amazon Prime.

Mel Giedroyc will play Frau Schmidt in ITV's live adaptation of 'The Sound of Music'.
The 'Great British Bake Off' host has been cast alongside a star-studded line-up, which also sees Oliver-Award-Winning actress Maria Friedman take on the role as Mother Abbess.
The dramatised version will be aired over Christmas and will see former 'EastEnders' actress Kara Tointon play the lead role of Fraulein Maria - who was played by Dame Julie Andrews in the 1965 original musical.
On playing Maria, Kara said in a statement: "I am thrilled and excited to be taking on the iconic role of Maria in 'The Sound of Music Live!'.
"I'm looking forward to bringing this character to life for ITV viewers and to follow in the footsteps of some great actresses who have played Maria on stage and film."
And 'Downton Abbey' actor Julian Ovenden will play Kara's on-screen lover Captain Georg von Trapp.
He added: "'The Sound of Music' is a much-loved musical and it's a privilege to play such an illustrious character as Captain von Trapp alongside such a talented team, both in front and behind the cameras. I can't wait to help bring this epic production to screen in what promises to be a true highlight for the family this Christmas."

Lauren Murray has moved out of the 'X Factor' house.
The singer is so upset by the elimination of her pals Keira Weathers and Seann Miley Moore on Sunday's (08.11.15) show that she has packed her bags and left the house she has been sharing with fellow contestants, but remains in the competition.
Kiera told the Liverpool Echo: "She told me she's left the house because she was upset but she's still in the competition - although she's packed her stuff."
Lauren previously revealed she and her fellow finalists have received death threats.
She said: "People can be so mean on Twitter, they forget that we're all just normal people.
"A few of us have even had death threats. And we've had people send pictures of themselves cutting our names into their arms. It's horrible!"
Meanwhile, Keira, who received the lowest number of votes and found herself in the bottom three for the second week in a row, admitted she was upset to leave the show.
She said: "I found it difficult leaving Lauren and the girls. But I'm glad to be home and I'm excited to see what the future holds.
"I've had a ball - I still pinch myself! How many people can say they've been to LA with Rita Ora?"

Monica Michael doesn't think she can win 'The X Factor'.
The 25-year-old singer - who was brought back for the live finals as a wildcard entry - will be happy to keep "entertaining" people for as long as she can, but is doubtful she can triumph over her rivals.
She said: "I've never said I can win. I'm not sure I will.
"I just wanted to get to the live shows and entertain people. I'm just trying to get through each week as best I can."
And Monica is enjoying having the chance to "evolve" and push boundaries on the show.
She said: "The show has given me the confidence to try new styles and showcase my full range.
"No one is trying to change who I am but they're giving me the confidence to evolve. I always try to push myself."
And Monica - whose stepbrother drowned last year aged 18 - is paying no attention to negative comments on social media.
She told Closer magazine: "You can't please the world and I'm not trying to. Everyone has an opinion of you, whether you're famous or not.
"Everything just seems bigger when you're in the public eye but it's not a big deal to me.
"Everything I've been through has made me strong and the songwriter that I am. That's why internet trolls won't bother me.
"I've been through much worse and survived."

Elle Stevenson, Mergim Butaja and April Jackson weren't surprised by their triple firing on 'The Apprentice'.
All three hopefuls were sent packing by Lord Alan Sugar on last night's (11.11.15) episode of the show and they've revealed they'd all been expecting a mass exodus because of the amount of candidates left in the process.
Construction operations executive Elle exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "We'd all been coming back to the house for five weeks and we'd all been looking around every time two people came back from the bottom three and we were all saying, 'When's it going to happen? There's got to be two going at some point, or three'.
"We're not silly, we all knew there were 18 candidates and that's too many, there wasn't enough weeks so no, I wasn't surprised at all."
Sales account manager Mergim - who had a DIY disaster while attempting to assemble some shelves during the task - has confessed there was a moment after Elle got fired when he thought he might be safe.
He said: "Lord Sugar fired Elle and I thought, Oh gosh, what happens now? I was preying that that was it and that I'd get to go back to the house but obviously that wasn't the case and the pressure came onto me.
"Because there were so many candidates left in the process, you knew more than one or two people would have to go but you could probably argue that in previous episodes there should have been double firings. I think I was at the wrong place at the wrong time."
Meanwhile, former Miss Jamaica, boutique owner April Jackson - who was told by Lord Sugar that he should have fired her in the first week - has admitted she too saw it coming.
She explained: "I think if you do the maths, you could see that there was going to have to be quite a lot of firings sometime soon so it didn't surprise me that it was my turn."
'The Apprentice' continues next Wednesday at 9pm on BBC One.

Sam Faiers feels "blessed" to have had such a "nice pregnancy".
The former 'Only Way Is Essex' star is eight months pregnant with her and her boyfriend Paul Knightley's first child and she's confessed she feels lucky that she's not suffered from morning sickness or had any weird cravings.
She exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I've had absolutely nothing and I feel really blessed actually. I'm lucky. Obviously I hear a lot of symptoms that mums to be have but I've managed to kind of override it all and I've had a nice pregnancy, which is good.
"There's a little bit of tiredness here and there and obviously as I'm getting bigger now, doing things like putting your shoes on aren't as easy but everything else is fine."
The 24-year-old beauty - who is waiting until the birth to find out the sex of her baby - was diagnosed with Crohn's disease following her stint in the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house in 2014 but has revealed it hasn't had any effect on her pregnancy.
She added: "It's been absolutely fine. Honestly, I feel better now than I ever have done before. I feel fabulous!
"I just can't wait to see her or his little face."
Sam has teamed up with Swiftcover to create some #SwiftHomeHacks helping first time buyers decorate their homes on a budget. Visit www.swiftcover.uk/homehacks to watch Sam's #SwiftHomeHacks.

Tony Hadley's kids have banned him from "doing a shower scene" on 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!'.
The Spandau Ballet frontman - who has kids
Thomas, Toni and Mackenzie with his first wife, Leonie Lawson, and Zara, 10, and Genevieve, three, with spouse Alison Evers - is pleased his kids are "excited" about him taking part on the reality show but admitted they are worried he will "embarrass" himself.
He said: "They're cool actually. My youngest - one of my youngest, Zara, she was like, 'Oh wow, brilliant!' She's really excited.
"They're all pretty... I think the main thing is, you know, 'Dad just don't make a...don't embarrass yourself,' kind of thing. So don't do a shower scene! That's the main
thing! 'Don't do a shower scene Dad!' "
However, the 55-year-old singer admitted he could land a lucrative sponsorship deal if he does a shower scene - and shows off "Big Tone".
Absolute Radio Breakfast Show host Christian O'Connell advised: "If you want to stay in the jungle, I'd say do the shower scene and show us Big Tone!"
Tony replied: "You don't want to see that, I tell you! Mind you, I could go for a lifetime sponsorship in swimwear, you never know do you, you see?"
And the 'Gold' hitmaker joked he wouldn't cut such an impressive figure after weeks on jungle rations.
Christian said: "Speedos suddenly see that body, those buttocks... They could bring out their own range called "Big Tone's Speedos."
Tony - who also hosts his own show on Absolute 80s - laughed: "Big Tone? Well at the end of it, it could be Slender Tone, couldn't it see?"

Matt Baker was caught peeing in a bush by a train full of passengers while doing the BBC Children in Need Rickshaw Challenge.
The 37-year-old presenter desperately needed to go to the toilet while cycling and ended up getting caught-out going for a wee on the side of a road.
He exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "There was one embarrassing moment where I nipped behind a bush for a quick pee en route and there was a train going past tooting its horn, so apologies if you were on that train. Hopefully they didn't know it was me!"
Matt - who was riding with six children who have benefited from the support and money raised by Children in Need - has been amazed by the support and generosity of the general public and was thankful to a couple who rode out on a two-person bike to meet the Rickshaw Team at 2 am in Bristol.
He added: "The support that we've had has been incredible, even at crazy times of the day. At the 2 am start a couple came out and met us on a tandem in Bristol, which was wonderful. The streets have been lined with people and it's that energy and support that it is keeping Team Rickshaw going."

Former Oasis manager Alan McGee has slammed Aurora's cover of their hit 'Half The World Away' in the new John Lewis Christmas advert.
Alan thinks the cover - sang by the rising Norwegian singer - is "rubbish" and hopes the songs creator Noel Gallagher has been awarded a hefty sum in royalties for letting them use it because it's so bad.
He said. "I think it's rubbish. I don't know what anybody else thinks of it, though. I'm pleased for Noel that he got his royalties, I hope they gave him a million quid but I thought actually it was rubbish."
Alan's comments come after Noel's former sister-in-law Natalie Appleton - who was married to his brother Liam until 2013 - praised the track after hearing it on the festive advert.
She wrote on Twitter: "Good morning Friday
"Love the new John Lewis @johnlewisretail advert... (sic)"
However, it could be a veiled swipe at Liam who didn't perform or write anything on the B-side of their 1994 single 'Whatever'.
Alan also revealed he's still on "good" terms with Noel and is supportive of his work.
