Earlier today, the Great British Bake Off legend was the bookies favourite to replace Jeremy – who was sacked from Top Gear after punching a producer in the face.

But sadly, despite the speculation – Sue denied there was any truth. When asked if she would be replacing Jezza she simply replied “nope” and left it at that. Gutted.

DON'T MISS!

We’d started to get really excited about her bringing her soggy bottom wit to the car show.

The speculation began when an insider from the Beeb told the Sun: “If we replaced Clarkson with a lesbian he'd be turning in his leather jacket.”

The bookies then placed Sue as the favourite to front the show, with Dermot and Jodie Kidd hot on her heels.

Meanwhile, Jeremy was lined up to make his BBC comeback as a guest presenter on Have I Got News For You but tonight pulled out for unknown reasons.

But, don't worry Sue will have more airtime very soon as, don't forget, she’s hosting a special live Game Of Thrones spin-off show on Sky Atlantic from 13 April.
