Before Evans sensationally announced he was quitting Top Gear yesterday, it had emerged officers would be questioning him about an alleged sex attack dating back to the 90s.

Officers confirmed he would be "spoken to in the near future", .

Yesterday sources told the site a police probe will follow a complaint about Evans lodged by someone believed to be a former colleague.

The news comes after a group of people claiming to have worked with Evans wrote Facebook posts about him allegedly exposing his penis on a regular basis, and bullying staff on Channel 4 morning show The Big Breakfast.

Another anonymous ex-colleague alleged Evans "grabbed" her breasts "relentlessly" over a two-year period, and once exposed his penis to her.

She said: “He might have thought what he was doing was amusing, but like a lot of bullies he cloaked it in a joke.

“Bullies make out that you’re not being fun if you’re not being part of that joke."
