Jeremy Clarkson has issued a sweary warning to the new hosts of Prime Video's The Grand Tour.
Clarkson hosted the show alongside James May and Richard Hammond after they exited the BBC show Top Gear.
The trio hosted The Grand Tour from 2016 to 2024; however, Amazon announced earlier this year that the motoring show would return this September with new hosts.
The refreshed show will now be hosted by trainspotter and internet personality Francis Bourgeois, alongside James Engelsman and Thomas Holland, creators of the popular YouTube channel Throttle House.
Ahead of The Grand Tour's return, Clarkson has offered the new hosts a sweary warning.
Jeremy Clarkson issues sweary warning to new Grand Tour hosts
In the first episode of the new Grand Tour, Bourgeois, Engelsman and Holland visit Clarkson at Diddly Squat Farm.
Speaking to the new hosts, Clarkson tells them, "Listen, guys. Seriously, have fun with this. Good luck."
Adding, "Don't f*** it up."
Although he gave the replacement trio some harsh words, Clarkson tells the audience to have faith in the new hosts, sharing, "I've got to be honest with you, I've actually been watching what they've been up to for the past year and a half, and they're very, very good.
"You're going to love it."
When does The Grand Tour return?
Amazon said that the new series promises everything fans love about The Grand Tour - "big adventures, questionable car choices, and plenty of laughs".
Teasing what is coming up in this series, they said that the team will drive the Angolan desert in track cars, explore Malaysia's vibrant car culture, head to California to test cutting-edge performance cars, as well as challenge fighter pilots and even an entire nation's legal system.
All six episodes of the new series will be available to stream exclusively on Prime Video from September 4.
Why did Clarkson, Hammond and May leave The Grand Tour?
The Grand Tour originally launched in 2016 following Clarkson, Hammond, and May's exit from Top Gear.
The show initially followed a format similar to Top Gear, including car reviews and timed laps, motoring challenges and races, studio segments, and celebrity guests.
After the conclusion of the third series, the format was changed to focus on producing special motoring films for future series, with individual episodes released at select intervals.
The final episode featuring Clarkson, Hammond, and May as presenters was released in September 2024.

Clarkson, Hammond and May ended the 22-year-long partnership between the trio.
They chose to leave The Grand Tour because they felt they had exhausted all possibilities in the car-show genre.
They also spoke of the exhausting physical demands of their adventures, their advancing age, and a lack of personal interest in electric cars.
