Who is former Top Gear presenter Jason Dawe and why did BBC replace him with James May?

TOP Gear saw a change in presenters following long-time host Jeremy Clarkson’s exit in 2015.

While many hosts have stuck around for several years Jason Dawe, who fronted the 2002 reboot of the motoring show, only presented a single series before parting ways with the popular franchise.

The car enthusiast

Jason Dawe is a journalist and television presenter.

He was born on May 4, 1967, in Cornwall.

Dawe was always a lover of cars.

Before he even embarked on a career in the media, Jason worked at car dealerships and as a motoring industry trainer.

He became a familiar face on TV when he started presenting the 2002 series of Top Gear, when the show was rebooted on BBC Two following its 2001 cancellation.

The BBC ended the show after viewing figures began to decline but revived it just a year later.

The Cornish car enthusiast has been a regular Sunday Times columnist for the motorist section, and has also written for publications such as Top Gear Magazine, Used Car Buyer, Autotrader and AA Magazine.

He has worked as a motivational speaker and has teamed up with brands like Dell, Ford, Toyota, Harley Davidson and Herman Miller.

Family life

In 2003, Dawe tied the knot with Ruth Davis, a former Wiltshire Times reporter from Trowbridge.

According to the Wiltshire Gazette and Herald, Dawe arrived for their wedding in style.

The former Top Gear presenter pulled up to the hotel in a silver Jaguar XJ8 4.2 Sport worth £50,000, which had only just been released on the market.

The couple share a son and two daughters.

Leaving Top Gear

Top Gear, which originally aired from 1977 to 2001, was rebooted in 2002.

The show’s revival was hosted by Jason Dawe, Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond.

Clarkson and Hammond would go on to work together on the series for many years, but Dawe only joined them for the one year.

Fans of the show were left wondering why Dawe left.

Top Gear producer Andy Wilman has said that Dawe’s exit from the show was because it just “wasn’t working out” with him.

Dawe was replaced by James May, who would go on to present Top Gear with Hammond and Clarkson until 2015.

Wilman, writing in Top Gear magazine, said of replacing Dawe: “We had another visit from the BBC meddling department, who told us that market research showed our show was attracting young, lifestyle, trendy viewers to BBC Two, so perhaps we should think about getting a young, lifestyle, trendy presenter.”

Per Lad Bible, he added: “Ever keen to assist, we searched high and low and eventually came up with just the man: James May.”

He also said BBC bosses weren’t sure about Hammond after his first series, admitting they “had a wobble about Richard”.

After Dawe’s departure from the show, Clarkson, Hammond and May hosted as a trio
BBC

Clarkson, Hammond and May hosted the show as a trio from 2003 until 2015, when Hammon and May quit following Clarkson’s axing.

A number of famous faces have presented the show since then, including Chris Evans, Matt LeBlanc, Freddie Flintoff and Paddy McGuinness.

In November 2023 the BBC announced that Top Gear would not be returning to TV “for the foreseeable future” after Flintoff was involved in a crash while filming the show in 2022.

In a statement, the broadcaster said it had “decided to rest the UK show”.

Life after Top Gear

Following his exit from Top Gear, Dawe made his return to TV screens in 2005.

He appeared on ITV‘s Used Car Roadshow with Penny Mallory and hosted the show until it was cancelled in 2007.

Dawe went on to work on BBC Watchdog and The Morning Show.

As well as appearing on TV, Dawe has also made several radio appearances as a car expert over the years.

Some of his credits include the Radio Two Chris Evans show, Radio Two Drive Time, BBC Radio Scotland, and The Tim Shaw Show on Kerrang Radio.

From 2009 to 2010, he presented Classic Gear; a show about classic cars alongside Mallory and Alice Crocker.

In 2020, Dawe went on to present the Body Shop Awards.

Where is Jason Dawe now?

As of February 2024, Dawe describes himself as a motoring journalist and TV presenter on social media.

Some of the work he has posted about includes presenting for The Marine Channel at the Palma Boat Show in Mallorca, Spain.

He regularly shares motor news and reviews on X, formerly known as Twitter, and also has his own website where his car reviews are archived.

Dawe appears to be good friends with First Dates maître’d and I’m a Celebrity 2023 contestant Fred Sirieix, whose posts he regularly interacts with on X.

Love Island’s Megan Barton Hanson snogs OnlyFans star in a taxi after split from Towie’s Demi Sims

LOVE Island star Megan Barton Hanson appears to have moved on from ex Demi Sims.

The 30-year-old star, who appeared on the ITV show’s fourth series, previously dated Towie legend Demi.

Megan was spotted enjoying a night out with OnlyFans model Leah Ray in central London.

The pair were seen sharing a kiss in the back of a taxi before heading to a hotel.

During her time on Love Island, Megan became known for her cheeky and controversial antics as she hooked up with fellow islander Wes Brown.

Meanwhile, OnlyFans star Leah boasts around 129,000 followers on Instagram.

In June, the passionate Arsenal fan teamed up with Astrid Wett to release a song for Euro 2024.

Titled  ‘Last Night in Berlin’, they also created a video to go along with the track, in which they can be seen wearing England jerseys.

Megan met ex-girlfriend Demi, 28, on E4 reality series Celebs Go Dating.

They shared an on and off relationship before ultimately splitting for good.

Earlier this year, it was thought the former couple had rekindled their romance.

Megan and Demi were snapped arriving at London‘s Sushi Samba in July.

They were also believed to have briefly reunited in January last year.

However, The Sun revealed just weeks later how they were on the rocks due to Demi’s family reality show House of Sims filming in the US.

An insider told us at the time: “Demi and Megan care about each other and spent a lot of time together while she was temporarily back in the UK.

“But with the family show having been renewed for a second season – before the first has even aired – Demi will be largely based in Los Angeles for the foreseeable future.”

In September, Megan revealed to her fans that she was looking for love.

The star shared how she had signed up to dating app Hinge.

Posting a screenshot of a chat to Instagram, Megan told followers: “BEWARE the ADHD is doing the most today…”

I love my husband but I’m risking it all for a seedy affair with my best friend

a man with a tattoo on his arm laughs with a woman
Young couple lying on a bed with remote control and watching television in the bedroom. They have fun together.

DEAR DEIDRE: EVEN though I have an amazing marriage with a devoted and loving husband, I’m risking it all for a seedy affair with my male best friend.

I know that it’s wrong, but I can’t seem to help myself. Whenever anything is going well in my life, I always find a way to self-sabotage it.

I’m 36, my husband is 40, and we’ve been together for eight years. We have two daughters together. One is three, and the other is five.

I have a great life with my husband, but I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t grown bored over the years.

Every day blends into the next, and it’s fair to say the romance has died.

Deep down, I’d always had a bit of a crush on my male best friend. We’d known each other since university, but one of us had always been in a relationship, so things between us stayed platonic.

That was until one night a few months ago, when we met up for dinner. We both started confiding in each other over a bottle of vino.

He’d recently found out that his girlfriend was pregnant, and he was struggling to come to terms with the reality of being a father.

One thing led to another, and in a moment of weakness, we drunkenly overstepped a boundary.

Since then, we’ve not been able to stay away from each other. As soon as we allowed ourselves to admit to our feelings, the floodgates opened.

Now we’re madly in love and want to be together.
The last thing I want is to implode my life, but he makes me feel so alive.

DEIDRE'S STORIES

Carl's girlfriend is surprised he's unfazed by men's comments on women

DEIDRE SAYS: While there’s no doubting that you share a connection, try to remember you’re in the heady, early days of romance.

While it’s natural to want to follow that exciting feeling, it’s likely that the reality of long term life with your lover wouldn’t measure up to the fantasy. 

You recognise your marriage is good, so don’t take that for granted.

Instead of risking everything, if it’s excitement you need, talk to your husband about how to inject a little spontaneity back into your relationship.

What did you enjoy together before you had children, can you re-introduce those elements? 

People who self-sabotage often don’t feel worthy of genuine love, if you think this may be at the root of your issue, then all the more reason to consider couples counselling.
