Jeremy Clarkson excited fans of The Grand Tour by sharing a new snap of himself with presenters Richard Hammond and James May for what’s believed to be new episodes of the show.

Clarkson was pictured with his long-time pals enjoying a day trip on a boat on Tuesday reportedly sailing around Mauritania.

The TV host, whose picture showed the trio flashing wide grins, didn’t give much by way of details, captioning the picture: “Three t***s in a boat”.

His 5.9 million followers quickly took to the comments section to express their delight at the reunion of the former Top Gear presenters.

One wrote: “This has made my day. What a tease. Tell us more!" A second said: “Where can I see the episode?”

While a third commented: “The best thing I’ve seen all day. The return!”

Clarkson, 63, May, 60, and Hammond, 53, were last seen together on the Prime Video series, A Scandi Flick, last September.

The show saw them jet around frozen lake racetracks, ski slopes and Cold War submarine bases across Norway and the Russian Border.

The show has had  four seasons and filming will reportedly resume this October .

One of the most recent alarming incidents on the show saw May break his rib after crashing his car while driving at 75 miles per hour.

“I suppose I did it deliberately," he said at the time. "I knew it was going to be boring otherwise [so I] sort of drove it to the cliff.”

The presenters worked together on BBC’s Top Gear until 2015, when Clarkson was suspended over a string of allegations, including verbal and physical abuse against one of the show’s producers.

When his contract was eventually terminated, Hammond and May also announced they would not continue on the show without him.
