Amy Macdonald - Amy Macdonald Achieves Top Gear Dream

The star expressed her desire to obtain a professional high-speed driving licence last month (Jun12) and she also owns a fleet of fast cars including a $263,600 (£170,000) Ferrari 458, an Audi R8 and an Audi Q7.

Now she has received a personal invitation from Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson to appear on his programme after putting in a request.

MACdonald tells Scotland's Daily Record newspaper, "It looks like I'm in there, finally. Jeremy sent a text straight back saying 'Absolutely - I could go on the show' so I think that's it sorted now. I don't think he'll be scared I'll take his job. For him it's probably just good to have someone on who is passionate about cars for a change."
