Jeremy Clarkson returns for first car show appearance since end of The Grand Tour

The Top Gear legend is making his return to TV's motoring world

Jeremy Clarkson and cars go together like salt and pepper, so it should come as no surprise that he's hopped on another motor show.

Following the The Grand Tour finale last year, fans of the star have been pining to see him back behind the wheel. And now, their prayers have been answered, as Clarkson is lending a hand to the Car SOS team.

During his hiatus from the four-wheel world, the 64-year-old has been kept busy thanks to Diddly Squat Farm - which a 'gang of 150 burly men' recently descended upon.

Fans have still been able to get their dose of Clarkson by tuning into Clarkson's Farm or Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, so the withdrawals haven't been too bad.

But there's nothing like seeing the Top Gear legend stood next to a motor to get people's engines revving.

Clarkson will appear in episode five of the new season of the National Geographic car renovation show, which is hosted by Fuzz Townshend and Tim Shaw.

Viewers will get to see him pitch in with the lads as they repair and restore a Land Rover Discovery Series 1 which he used to own.

Clarkson's worlds will also collide as he takes the Car SOS crew to his famous farm for a car reveal.

The synopsis for the episode reads: "Tim and Fuzz restore a Land Rover Discovery Series 1, which is rotting in a field. With a project this huge, Tim pulls off a big celebrity finale."

Presenters Townshend and Shaw have now revealed what it was like to work alongside the TV star while giving viewers a hint about what he will get up to.

Speaking to Gloucestershire Live, Shaw said: "The thing for us, as a team, we sit around and say: 'How can we make this experience amazing?'

"We always ask the family members: 'What are they into, what would make their day extra special?' We found out he was a huge fan of Clarkson's Farm.

"We were like let's see if we can get onto Clarkson, so I text a few mates, blah blah blah, spoke to the guys on the channel and they were like: 'Look, if Jeremy would do it, that would be amazing!'

"And amazingly, Jeremy agreed to have a full coach load of people - 40 people, I’m not exaggerating - it was a proper big coach, it turned up onto Jeremy's farm and he welcomed everyone. Came out, shook their hand, said hello to everyone. No matter what you read in the papers, he's a sweetheart, he's a lovely guy!"

Shaw then heaped praise on Clarkson for being such a gracious host despite being 'so busy', revealing that he was more than happy to take pictures with people.

"You have this impression of Clarkson, people are like you either love him or you hate him - he's like Marmite," Shaw continued.

"But actually if you met him, no matter what you think, you'll leave thinking: 'Damn it, I like this guy, he is a nice man!'"

Townshend concurred, saying: "I saw nothing but that! If you just asked your average person on the street, excuse me, do you mind if we bring 40 people and a coach around to your house.

"We're all going to come in, hang out, talk to everyone of us, you'd tell them to... [go away]."

Don't worry, Clarkson isn't replacing his longtime collaborators Richard Hammond and James May with the Car SOS presenters, though.

In fact, the Top Gear trio are set to reunite on screen for another 'motoring comedy documentary series' on 18 April which will air on Prime Video, it was revealed earlier this month.

Car SOS Season 13 premiered on 13 March on National Geographic and Clarkson's episode is set to air on 10 April.
