Paddy McGuinness and Freddie Flintoff joined Chris Harris earlier this year to form the new Top Gear presenting line-up and the trio are back for a Christmas special which will air on BBC Two tomorrow. Ever since original hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May left the show, outspoken Jeremy has taken light-hearted digs at his former show while he filmed Amazon’s The Grand Tour. Ahead of Top Gear’s Christmas special, the hosts gave their thoughts on their predecessor’s comments. Earlier this year, The Grand Tour hosts were visibly emotional during the final episode of season three as they revealed they would not be returning to the studio tent. Instead the trio would return for a series of road trip specials with the first one being released earlier this month. The episode saw Jeremy, Richard and James take on Cambodia and Vietnam in nothing but boats. When they found themselves in some particularly rough waters, Richard announced it was the “worst thing I’ve ever done".
