Top Gear told off by George Osborne for 'noisy filming'

The new Top Gear presenter has been filming in London with professional rally driver Ken Block

Chancellor George Osborne has given the Top Gear team a ticking off for making too much noise near Downing Street while he was writing the budget.

The show's host Matt LeBlanc and professional rally driver Ken Block performed high-speed spins in central London during filming over the weekend.

The chancellor tweeted that a "noisy episode" was taking place near Horse Guards Parade on Sunday.

LeBlanc also took to Twitter to post pictures from Westminster.

Matt LeBlanc tweeted fans that he was "back at it" on Sunday

On Sunday morning Mr Osborne tweeted: "Trying to write my Budget, despite noisy episode of @BBC_TopGear being filmed outside on Horseguards Parade. Keep it down please @achrisevans."

He will deliver his eighth budget on Wednesday.

LeBlanc also tweeted he was "back at it this morning" and "just cruising around Parliament Square with a buddy."

The presenter and rally driver also gatecrashed a wedding at St Paul's Cathedral on Saturday.

The wedding party got a wave and a series of wheel-spinning "donut" manoeuvres from the duo in Block's 845bhp 4WD Hoonicorn Mustang.

The new series of BBC Two show is due to start in May.
