Jeremy Clarkson gives verdict on new Grand Tour presenters

Jeremy Clarkson has weighed in on the new The Grand Tour presenters, following his exit from the show.

In a video posted on Instagram on Thursday (5 February), the 65-year-old presenter jokingly looks through the CVs of potential candidates to replace himself, James May and Richard Hammond.

As he skims through the resumes, discarding some candidates for having facial hair and another for being James May in a cheeky jab, Clarkson gives his approval to James Engelsman, Thomas Holland and Francis Bourgeois, describing the latter as the “train man from the internet”.

The Prime Video series will return later this year.
