And don’t f*** it up.” Jeremy then tells the audience: “I have been watching what they have been up to and I think you are going to love it.” Indeed, The Sun had an exclusive chat with Executive producer Andy Wilman, the man who created the hit Prime Video show with his old school pal and he said: “Jeremy said he’d ‘only endorse them as long as I like them’. “So he watches the tapes and he’s like, ‘Yes, I really like them. I’m happy to endorse’. “There’s no way he’d endorse someone for a show he helped to create if he didn’t like them. He wouldn’t. He was on the front foot as soon as he saw them.” The Grand Tour is available on Prime Video now. Comment now
