Rumor Killing: No, James May Is Not Leaving Top Gear

Minor spoilers ahead, but stop here if you don’t want to know anything at all about the new season.
It seems quite a few people were confused by this Sunday’s episode description and thought that James May was being replaced by a new presenter. This is not the case.
James May will merely be introducing the new character (note that I said “character” and not “presenter”). The “steps aside” phrase just means he’s getting out of the way or whatever, not stepping down.
So calm down — Top Gear is Jeremy, Richard, James and I don’t foresee that changing anytime soon.
