The Grand Tour's 'younger and cooler' new line up 'revealed' including major social media star

The new line-up for The Grand Tour has been ‘revealed’.

Yep, just while you, your dad and dog are still mourning the end of Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May, there seems to already be a new trio gearing up to go.

And in the mix of them is a major social media star, it’s fair to say you might not be expecting.

With the Top Gear turned The Grand Tour presenters calling it quits after two decades as a team; this new reported line-up is said to be ‘younger’ and ‘cooler’. Well, what a slam.

I mean, it’s still not totally over for them though as they’ve got three more special episodes of the Prime Video show to come - under the title The Grand-ish Tour as they look back on their best moments.

But new moments are set to come with the reported new generation of Thomas Holland, James Engelsman and Francis Bourgeois.

No, that’s not Spider-Man hosting a car show. This Holland and Engelsman already have quite the cult car following for their brand Throttle House, boasting over three million subscribers on YouTube.

And yep, Bourgeois - real name Luke Magnus Nicolson - is that 24-year-old who straps a camera to his head and goes trainspotting.

With over two million followers on Instagram, he bills himself as a ‘railway enthusiast and mechanical engineer’ and has even ended up modelling for Gucci and The North Face as a result of his viral fame.

This line-up revelation comes as a source told The Sun: “Thomas and James are as knowledgeable about motors as Jeremy, Richard and James - the only difference is they're younger, cooler and a lot more social media savvy.

“Francis became famous for his love of trainspotting and will be bringing his humour to the show.”

Holland launched Throttle House back in 2013 with Engelsman becoming a presenter in 2018. Still a young lad, Bourgeois rocketed to fame on TikTok in 2021, quickly working with stars from AJ Tracey and Louis Theroux to being invited to meet the Prince and Princess of Wales.

Earlier this year, May told Australia’s ABC News that a younger lot should take on motoring shows like The Grand Tour.

“We're getting on a bit. Our view of the subject is probably becoming a bit dated,” he explained. “It's time for a younger generation to reevaluate it and think of a new way of talking about things like cars and transport generally.”

Well, that sounds just like Bourgeois, Engelsman and Holland, doesn’t it?
