Holly Samos is the new favourite to join Chris Evans on 'Top Gear'.
The ex-Radio 5 Live reporter, who briefly dated the flame-haired presenter in the '90s, is hotly tipped to become the female addition to the motoring show's new line up.
An insider told The Sun newspaper: "Chris and Holly have brilliant chemistry and would be great together on Top Gear. Holly is a motoring nut."
Holly, 40, is currently working at BBC Radio Oxford presenting her own show but Chris has his eye on the pretty brunette for his new look 'Top Gear' that is due to return to BBC Two next year.
Chris, 49, replaced Jeremy Clarkson on the long running series after he was sacked earlier this year for having punched a producer over a steak, whilst Richard Hammond and James May exited the show after the incident.
Jodie Kidd and Suzi Perry were previous favourites to take a top spot on the new line-up but have since been ruled out and Zoe Ball's name has recently been thrown into the hat.
Meanwhile, the Radio Two breakfast host said they are almost "ready to roll" and begin filming.
He wrote in Top Gear magazine: "We are ready to roll. We are now champing at the bit and getting far too hysterical for our own good."

Paula Lane thinks 'Coronation Street's live episode is their "darkest" yet.
The 29-year-old actress - who plays Kylie Platt in the ITV soap - thinks the forthcoming special show is "quite scary" and very different to anything the programme has ever done.
She said: "It's really dark. I don't think 'Corrie' has ever had anything this dark.
"Over the course of a week, Callum goes on a vendetta, he wants to totally destroy the Platts. It's quite scary - I think 'Corrie' has pushed the boundaries."
Paula admits she is "nervous" about the live episode, but is flattered to be involved and knows she'll enjoy it once the cameras roll.
She said: "I am nervous, but the fact they've got the confidence in us to carry the story is very flattering. We just need to use that and smash it.
"My first live episode was for the 50th anniversary and it was crazy. The adrenaline rush was like nothing else in this world."
And the actress will be hoping she keeps a straight face when she's on screen as she admits she is "really bad" for laughing during filming.
Asked if she laughs while filming, she told Closer magazine: "I'm really bad for it. I get this nervous laugh and my shoulders go up and down.
"Ben Price [who plays Nick Tilsley] makes me laugh. I haven't worked with him for a while and he came in the other day and was like, 'Wicked!'. I couldn't do the scene after that."

Caroline Flack wants Olly Murs to find her a boyfriend.
The 'X Factor' presenter is single after splitting from producer Jack Street and is hoping her friend and co-host can help her meet the right guy.
She said: "Would you be willing to vet any of my potential suitors? It's a good plan to send you in first. You can do that tonight...
"Would you set me up with one of your mates?"
While Olly agreed to "vet" her potential dates, he insisted he wouldn't set Caroline up with one of his friends.
He explained: "I don't think so. There's not the right person for you among my mates. I wouldn't set you up with just anyone."
And if Caroline were to date any of Olly's pals, their closeness means the 'Troublemaker' hitmaker wouldn't be interested in any details of their relationship.
Caroline asked: "Would you be really overprotective if I was dating one of them? Or would you ask them like, 'Wahey - what's she like in the sack?' "
During an interview with heat magazine, Olly replied: "God, no, because of our brother-sister relationship I just wouldn't want to know. I don't want to know any nitty-gritty."

Sue Perkins felt "bereaved" when she was told she was infertile.
The 'Great British Bake Off' host was diagnosed with having a benign brain tumour in her pituitary gland, which meant she couldn't have children, in 2007 and admits she took the news harder than she expected she ever would.
She said: "It really did hit me, as it hits a lot of people, I'm sure, when it's too late, this is not going to happen. I can't now have it as an out-of-sight, out-of-mind possibility, lurking.
"It's just not going to happen, it's not going to ever be part of my life. And although I never yearned to physically have my own child, it felt like a bereavement. It really did."
The 45-year-old presenter was disappointed with how it was handled by her doctor, but it took her a year to complain.
Recalling her conversation with the medical professional at the time, she claims he told her it had "made it easier" to give her the sad news when she told him she was gay.
Speaking to The Sunday Times magazine, she questioned: "Am I not human and am I not somebody who could be a lovely, wonderful mother? ... Sometimes I get into the mindset that being heterosexual is a brave new world because you can conceive, and you can work out the rest of it, once you're pregnant.
"For me, it just felt like I was sitting there with a pencil going, 'What's the best way to have a daddy? What's the best way to have two mummies?' And it just felt like I just had a f***ing pencil in my hand, and this isn't the way to start being a mother and that's what was really painful."

Kristina Rihanoff and Ben Cohen are still a "work in progress".
The 'Strictly Come Dancing' beauty has been accused of breaking up the rugby star's marriage to wife Abby after the pair were partnered together on the BBC One show but she has always insisted the former couple's relationship was over before she started a romance with Ben.
She said: "We are in a committed relationship, and of course, part of that involves love.
"We're constantly together - either at my place or his. We're still very new so there's much more left to grow hopefully. It's a work in progress."
And the 37-year-old beauty also admits she was "deeply upset" about online trolls, which targeted her when news of the romance surfaced.
She added to The Sun on Sunday newspaper: "It was deeply upsetting and for a while I was in a dark place. Ben's said it many times and I'll say it again - I wasn't involved in the breaking up of his marriage.
"Lots of relationships start because you're attracted to someone. It's all happy fireworks and then the core dissolves and it fizzles out. But we have a strong core. He doesn't see me as a dancer kicking my legs on 'Strictly Come Dancing', he sees the real me."

Farrah Abraham has branded Bobby Davro a "cannibal".
The 'Teen Mom' star was evicted from the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house on Friday (18.09.15) and insists she has always felt "unsafe" around her fellow housemate.
She said: "I felt at risk and unsafe when I was around someone who would kill me or be violent of some sort. That [person] would be Bobby because he went in on me and everyone saw that and everyone knew that it was very unsafe. My honest opinion is that Bobby is a very unsafe housemate and I am very happy to be away from that."
When asked what made her fear for her safety, she shared: "When he was telling people I have a deep dark soul and just going in on me in a very violent, cannibalistic weird way that was very uncomfortable ... It is a very Satanic disgusting thing to do."
And the 24-year-old television personality insists none of the housemates got much sleep because Bobby sleepwalked on numerous occasion.
She told the Daily Star on Sunday newspaper: "We didn't get much sleep. He would be sleep-walking or saying he was sleep-walking but he would end up in Janice [Dickinson's] bed sometimes. Jenna [Jameson] said she would kick him in the throat if she ever found him in front of her bed.
"A lot of the guys were also weirded out by him looking at their packages and their asses all the time ... No one was comfortable sleeping at night."

'Downton Abbey' actress Sophie McShera forgets she can't cook in real life.
The 30-year-old star - who plays kitchen maid Daisy Robinson in the ITV period drama - has admitted she spends so much time pretending to cook delicious slap up meals on the show that she sometimes forgets she's not actually a skilled chef.
She told BANG Showbiz: "It's hard because we pretend to be so good at cooking that you almost start to believe it so you're like, 'I made that, that looks great', so then it's a bit of a shock that you can't make any of it in real life because you've got someone helping you the whole time."
The 'Cinderella' beauty's co-star Lesley Nicol - who plays head cook Mrs. Pattmore in 'Downton' - confessed she too is rubbish in the kitchen.
She shared: "I keep thinking I ought to be better at it by now and I keep meaning to make a cake ... We don't do anything that you can tell, hopefully. We don't do anything skillfull, ever, so nobody will go, 'Well that's not right is it? She can't do that', because all we're doing is garnishing, wiping, tasting and shouting."
Lesley even turned down 'Celebrity MasterChef' because she was so worried about showing herself up.
She added: "I was asked to do that and I said, 'You have to be good!' You have to have a level of expertise whoever you are. You can't go on as a niffy, naffy, noo noo that can't do it or you'll look an idiot."

Simon Gregson has been signed off sick for three months.
The 'Coronation Street' star - who has played Steve McDonald on the ITV soap since 1989 - is due to take some time out after depicting his character's battle with depression over several months.
A source said: "He put everything into [the storyline]. It had a big impact on him because it helped to raise awareness of a condition which affects thousands of people.
"He's decided to take a bit of time out and has the support of everyone on the show."
Meanwhile, producer Stuart Blackburn's exit from the soap is said to have "boost morale" after he became unpopular with the cast and crew.
An insider shared: "This announcement will massively boost cast morale in the run-up to the live episode as Stuart was becoming unpopular with them, the writers and production.
"The announcement ahead of the live episode was timed to disguise the fact he's leaving when ratings are down and the show's in really bad shape."
Whilst a 'Coronation Street' source added to The Sun newspaper: "There's been discontent among the cast. Stuart's characters did not work and he seemed obsessed with big-name comebacks."

The 'Xtra Factor' is to have a midweek episode.
The ITV talent show's boss Simon Cowell is hoping the new instalment of the 'X Factor's sister show will mirror the success of rival 'Strictly Come Dancing's spin-off programme, 'It Takes Two'.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Simon says he will react to 'Strictly's ratings and this is one way he thinks will improve 'The X Factor.'"
The new show, which is expected to be shown on either Wednesday or Thursday nights on ITV2, will begin at the same time as the live shows.
Meanwhile, the show's hosts Rochelle Humes and Melvin Odoom recently opened up about the "family vibe" of all who work on the show, insisting they felt right at home straight away.
He said: "There's very much a family vibe, everyone's looking out for each other. Rochelle's taking care of me.
"Caroline [Flack] and Olly [Murs] have been really helpful and they've told us how it's worked years before."
Whilst The Saturdays singer added: "It instantly wasn't like 'Oh no this is a new job and you don't know anyone' and 'We've got to go and interview some judges'. It was like 'Grimmy [judge Nick Grimshaw], you're coming over here.'"
