HE'S made no secret of being a petrolhead since he started acting – and now Guz Khan is about to hop into the driver's seat as the host of a new car show.

An insider told me: 'Every type of motor, past, present, and future will make its appearance in this exciting new format, with Guz guiding audiences through a rabbit hole of truly fascinating cars.
'Guz has been attempting to modify his own car so to help inspire him, he will embark on a journey to discover cars as unconventional as their owners.
Casting teams for the series worked around the clock to source contributors for the series, who were willing to have their wheels displayed in front of the nation.

'Expect to see the unexpected when it comes to these modified motors — this isn't your regular car series.
'He will test drive their creations and learn more about what modifications can do for cars, as he makes his own journey from 'car purist' to 'car modder'.
'And of course it won't be without elements of comedy, it's only natural with Guz in the hosting seat.'
It's a new string to Guz's bow after his hit BBC sitcom Man Like Mobeen came to an end earlier this year after five series.

In new Prime Video flick Deep Cover, Sean plays a bent cop who will be shot in the head before his body is cut up into pieces – just months after he was killed off in BBC drama This City Is Ours.
Luckily for Sean, who has died in every blockbuster franchise he's previously appeared in, including Game Of Thrones, James Bond and Lord Of The Rings, he's not worried.
He recently told the Radio Times: 'It came to a point with all the memes, and I thought, 'Maybe I should stop dying as much.'
