The new hosts of The Grand Tour have revealed that Jeremy Clarkson gave them a blunt warning as he handed over the motoring show he fronted for years, telling them "not to f**k it up." The comment underlines the pressure facing the incoming presenters as they attempt to fill the shoes of Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May, whose chemistry made the Amazon Prime series one of the most popular motoring shows in the world.

Among the new line-up is railway enthusiast and social media personality Francis Bourgeois, whose debut has already won praise from fans following the release of a trailer for the new series, which viewers have described as "epic". The article does not detail further specifics of the trailer's content or the identities of the other new hosts, but suggests anticipation is building ahead of the show's return under its refreshed presenting team.
