The grand tour set to return with three new 'young' hosts after clarkson exit

THE GRAND TOUR IS SET TO RETURN TO SCREENS WITH A BRAND NEW PRESENTING LINE-UP, IT HAS BEEN REPORTED, AFTER JEREMY CLARKSON, RICHARD HAMMOND AND JAMES MAY QUIT LAST YEAR 00:15, 30 May

2025Updated 00:15, 30 May 2025 The Grand Tour is set to rev back into action with a fresh trio of presenters in the driving seat, according to reports. The show first hit screens in 2016,

featuring Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond behind the wheel, testing cars from around the world. Their final episode, One for the Road, aired in September 2024, putting the

brakes on Clarkson, Hammond and May's 22-year partnership that started with Top Gear. Prime confirmed they would be keeping the series running without the three frontmen. Clarkson, 65,

Hammond, 55, and May, 62, decided to end their time on The Grand Tour, admitting they've "exhausted the idea thoroughly" after nearly a decade on our screens. "It's

sort of sad, and I know people are sad that it's over, but it couldn't go on forever and we're all getting on a bit," May said to Yahoo UK. "And we exhausted the

idea fairly thoroughly, I think, so it's like we quietly put it to one side rather than destroy it." Despite worries that the hit show might be hitting the scrapyard for good,

Hammond has assured fans that Prime Video will keep the engines running with fresh faces in the driver's seat. Article continues below However, The Sun has revealed that taking the lead

will be Thomas Holland and James Engelsman, known for their YouTube channel Throttle House, which boasts over 3.2 million subscribers. They will be joined by social media sensation Francis

Bourgeois, a renowned trainspotter. An insider told The Sun: "Thomas and James are as knowledgeable about motors as Jeremy, Richard and James - the only difference is they're

younger, cooler and a lot more social media savvy. Francis became famous for his love of trainspotting and will be bringing his humour to the show." Holland kick-started the YouTube

channel in 2015 out of sheer boredom, with Engelsman hopping on board three years later. Meanwhile, Bourgeois, whose real name is Luke Magnus Nicolson, shot to fame with his trainspotting

videos in 2021 and now has a following of over 2.4 million on Instagram. Article continues below Before the new names were released, Hammond said: "It will be carrying on. The Grand

Tour continues. We're stepping away as the hosts, but Prime will be continuing it. So I can't wait to sit on my own chair and watch somebody else do it. That's amazing."

The telly star confessed he's clueless about who'll take over the presenting duties but stressed: "If you're making any show that at its heart has a subject, whether

it's cooking, dancing or cars, the hosts, the primary makers of it, have to have that passion in their heart. And we always did." _FOR THE LATEST BREAKING NEWS AND STORIES FROM
