If you search for him on the internet, these days Ant Anstead's name is more synonymous with high profile divorce or dating a Hollywood actress than departing Wheeler Dealers. But having known Ant for a good few years Jonny wanted to ensure this Idol Chat interview covered the many bases of his life, his car career and how he rises above the pressures and stresses of being in the public eye. Did you know his partner Renee Zellweger knows how to weld (and enjoys it)? Or that he loves musical theatre? Or that he crashed a Merc C63 AMG whilst auditioning for Top Gear? Neither did we.
Jonny also records a weekly podcast with Grand Tour script editor and car book author Richard Porter. Listen every Monday, but be warned it is silly rubbish. [ Ссылка ]
