‘He’s a liability’: Grand Tour fans’ greatest fear over rumoured Jeremy Clarkson reunion
Fans aren't thrilled about the rumours.
Fans of The Grand Tour have expressed concerns after rumours Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May were reuniting… again.
The trio first hit screens on Top Gear in 2003, before moving over to their Amazon Prime Video motoring show in 2016.
Last year, The Grand Tour came to an end with two emotional specials, and it’s since been claimed a new TV project is in the pipeline.
The Not Very Grand Tour is due to air next month, with few details released, but some fans are already dreading it and claimed Clarkson is a ‘liability’.
The Clarkson’s Farm star, 64, has sparked immense controversy in the past, with incidents including his shocking column about Meghan Markle which he later apologised for after a record number of complaints, and before that, an ‘unprovoked physical and verbal attack’ on a Top Gear producer which led to the end of his time on the show.
And now, Metro readers have declared they wouldn’t want him to return to a motoring show alongside May and Hammond.

‘I would rather stick needles in my eyes,’ reader Roy wrote, while Karen said: ‘Not keen on these 3 to be honest.’
‘How utterly boring,’ Ivan added, a comment John echoed by saying: ‘The most boring ppl on TV.’
Jason also fumed: ‘Great until Clarkson says or does something that makes the three of them unemployed again, he’s a liability.
‘I watch some of the older Top Gear shows on repeats sometimes and the jokes they got away with were shocking.’

Some people admitted being fans of the trio’s older programmes, but weren’t so keen on the news of a reunion, with Stewart asking: ‘Why, the only time they were worth watching was on Top Gear.’
Other fans however rushed to defend Clarkson, sharing their excitement over a rumoured return.
Duncan said: ‘Hope this is genuine, be great to see the magnificent three back in harness.’
‘Anything these chaps do together is brilliant,’ Grant echoed, with several more calling the news ‘fantastic’.
