Matt Le Blanc was ‘forced to eat HORSE PENIS’ when Top Gear filmed scenes for their new series in Kazakhstan
The new series will return to BBC in March

THE new series of Top Gear sounds more like I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here than a show about high-octane sports cars as Matt LeBlanc was forced to eat 'horse penis' while filming in Kazakhstan.
Matt is back to helm the show with Chris Harris and Rory Reid after Chris Evans quit after the first series.
Speaking to the , Chris revealed the unusual foods they had to eat while filming the next instalment, which will hit the small screen on Sunday, March 5.
He said: "I saw Matt try and eat part of a horse that was used in some sort of reproductive process and give up quite early on."
Their dinners sounded more like Bushtucker Trials as they also tired other delicacies such as sheep ears and a pig's face.
Rory said: "The strangest thing I ate was a pig’s face. And brain. And ears.”
Other stars set to feature on the new series include Strictly Come Dancing winner Ore Oduba and former Celebrity Big Brother star Frankie Dettori.
Meanwhile, the former Friends star wouldn't be drawn into talking about ex co-host Chris but defended their presenting saying that it takes time for them to get know each other.

He said: "For the three guys that were on the show before us, it took them a while to build up a rapport.
“This is the first season for the three of us, and it does take a little while. Everyone is open to getting along but it takes a little while to speed up the shorthand.
“We are now getting to a point where we are starting to click.”
The 49-year-old also said he hopes the new series will be funnier than the last.
He said: "We want humour in the films. We film one in a Bond sequence that involves me driving an Aston Martin but centres around two guys poking fun at each other, having a good time."
Top Gear returns to BBC Two on Sunday March 5 at 8pm.
