'''Suzi Perry''' was a British motoring journalist who briefly presented for the [[BBC]]'s yearly motoring shows, presenting the last one alongside [[Jason Barlow]] and [[Dominic Littlewood]].<br />
<br />
==Career==<br />
Prior to her first appearances in car-based media, Suzi Perry's initial television appearances were for BBC's ''Grandstand'' sports programme, where she would present<ref>[https://www.motorcyclenews.com/news/2010/february/feb1710-suzi-perry-quits-/ MCN - Suzi Perry Quits MotoGP on BBC.]</ref> coverage for World Super Bike and MotoGP events from 1997 until 2010. In 2002, Perry would help to present the BBC's coverage of the [[BBC Motor Show TV Specials/Motor Show 2002|2002 Motor Show]] in [[Birmingham]], which was the final special in a series that could trace it roots back to 1952, ending a 50-year tradition for the corporation. Her next appearance in automotive journalism media came in 2005 when, reuniting with Barlow, she helped to present<ref>[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0810980/ IMDb - ''Movies' Greatest Cars''.]</ref> [[Sky/Sky One|Sky One's]] 2005 television special ''[[Movies' Greatest Cars]]'', which was directed by ''[[Top Gear (2002 TV series)|Top Gear]]'' director [[Nigel Simpkiss]]. She would then appear in [[Fifth Gear/Series 22/Episode 8|Series 22, Episode 8]] of ''Fifth Gear'' 8 years later.<br />
<br />
Outside of these scant appearances, Perry is much more widely known for her work on ''The Gadget Show'', a programme helmed by [[Jon Bentley]] of ex-''Top Gear'' and ''Fifth Gear'' fame. Along with Bentley, Perry was the programme's lead female host from its inception in 2004 until the conclusion of its sixteenth series in 2012, likely owing to her new role<ref>[https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/motor-racing/suzi-perry-replaces-jake-humphrey-as-bbc-s-formula-one-presenter-8428913.html Independent - Suzi Perry replaces Jake Humphrey as BBC's Formula One presenter.]</ref> within Formula 1, where she succeeded Jake Humphrey.<br />
<br />
===Alleged ''Top Gear'' offer===<br />
During the programme's [[Top Gear (2016 TV series)|2016 relaunch]], it was alleged that Suzi Perry had been offered a role on the show. Perry had indeed been offered<ref>[https://www.express.co.uk/showbiz/tv-radio/586071/Top-Gear-Suzi-Perry-Jeremy-Clarkson-Chris-Evans-Tony-Hall Express - ''Top Gear'': Suzi Perry turned down show but could she take it on now?]</ref> the opportunity to join the programme's previous incarnation in 2002, but rejected it. Bookmakers and journalists alike had speculated that she would be joining ''Top Gear'' to host alongside [[Chris Evans]], but these were later disproven as rumours, with Perry herself stating<ref>[https://www.express.co.uk/showbiz/tv-radio/653416/Suzi-Perry-Top-Gear-no-job-offer-Chris-Evans Express - Suzi Perry never received ''Top Gear'' job offer.]</ref> that she wasn't even offered a role on the relaunched ''Top Gear'', nor was she expecting one.<br />
