BBC bosses are reportedly ‘panicked’ after Top Gear show runners began spending an extra £200,000 on each episode.
The budget has ‘soared by 50% amid fears it could be a flop’ claimed the Daily Star, whose BBC source said that it was getting ‘out of control’ behind the scenes.
The revamped show is set to come back in May with Chris Evans at the helm, following Jeremy Clarkson’s contract ending at the Beeb.
