JEREMY Clarkson has taken aim at his former co-stars James May and Richard Hammond in a mocking new video.
The presenter can be seen looking through CVs trying to find new faces to join him on the upcoming Grand Tour.
The official social media Instagram page shared the funny footage alongside the caption: “Jeremy has a message…”
In the video, the TV star looked through potential candidates and teased: “These are the CVs from all the people who want to be a presenter on the new Grand Tour show.”
Rifling through papers, he commented: “No… full beard.
“Hello, my name’s James May… God, he sounds dull.”
Looking at new face and motoring influencer Thomas Holland‘s CV, he read out loud: “Once held a 1300 meter drift. Zero evidence has been uncovered.
“Frequently presents an opinion as if it is fact and then if challenged will change the subject. Yes, funny man.”
Clocking new train enthusiast Francis, he praised:“Oh, no, this one. He’s the train man from the internet.
“Yes, he’s got a cycling proficiency test, 2020 vision, but claims he can see behind him. Yes.”
Moving on, he noted: “No. Got a moustache. No.”
Sifting through another fake CV and appearing to refer to the pint-sized Richard Hammond, he read: “Blahh…. I’m 5ft 4…”
Clarkson then mockingly disregards the CV.
He continued: “Once reviewed an entire car using only sarcasm. Height depends on what dating app you find him on. That’s funny,” and he stamps ‘approved’ on new blood James Engelsman’s resume.
“You lot, I’m afraid, were unlucky. Let’s get them in. They look good. Get them in,” he barked.
Fans commented: “HOLY COW, IT’S ACTUALLY HAPPENING.”
A second added: “James May catching strays as usual.”
“This is awesome,” praised a third.
One die-hard fan disapproved: “No one could ever replace Clarkson, grandma May and Richard.”
It comes after the Grand Tour’s new presenters have been officially unveiled.
The Prime Video series will be back with three brand new stars – and they are all online influencers.
Trainspotter Francis Bourgeois has been snapped up alongside the creators of the YouTube phenomenon Throttle House – James Engelsman and Thomas Holland.
The three newbies will stand alongside Clarkson, two years on from the departure of former Top Gear pals, Richard Hammond and James May.
The trio have formally dissolved their partnership after working together for decades.
They rocketed to fame with Top Gear, before starting The Grand Tour together in 2016.
