PhilipGlenister has become the new favorite to replace booted Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear and hes already an outspoken car enthusiast.

Glenister is well known in the UK for his role as a politically-incorrect detective, DCI Gene Hunt, in Life on Mars.

The Guardian reported that Glenister has now taken the lead as favourite, replacing Great British Bake Off host Sue Perkins as most likely to take on the role.

Odds have been slashed from 10-1 to 2-1 after the Sun on Sunday reported that the BBC is considering hiring the actor-turned-presenter.

Top Gear has remained tight lipped and is refusing to comment on the speculation.

As well as playing cop Glenister also hosts For the Love of Cars on the UKs Channel 4.

The car enthusiast wastes no chance to get behind the wheel and indulge his passion on the show.

Jeremy Clarkson was sacked from Top Gear after an altercation with a producer.
