Jodie Kidd is not hosting the new look Top Gear on the BBC alongside Chris Evans, despite "conversations" being held about a role.
The Classic Car Show presenter has revealed she passed on Top Gear (via The Telegraph) because it would be "all-consuming".
Kidd said: "If I were to accept Top Gear it would be completely all-consuming. I love doing all the different things I am doing in my life at the moment.
"Top Gear is the most brilliant show on this planet but it would just take over your soul. That would be it. Through ups and downs and lefts and rights I have got to an amazing place where everything is finally balanced, and balanced for my family too."
The 36-year-old said she made the decision "very recently".
"Everyone every day has been asking me, am I doing it? Am I doing it? I am not, okay," she explained.
