JEREMY Clarkson still has a knack for controversy after he demonstrated how to smuggle an immigrant into the UK in the back of a car.

Clarkson's stunt on The Grand Tour, which showed Richard Hammond hidden within the frame of an Audi TT, sparked laughter from the audience.

Clarkon quipped he was about to show a "better way for immigrants of getting into Britain".

His audience laughed at the stunt as he told them: "When immigrants try to get into the country they always come in the back of a container lorry that is the world's worst game of hide and seek.

"If you work for Border Force you open the doors and go, 'well there you are'.

"Surely there must be a better way of getting into Britain. And I've worked it out."

Amazon Prime's The Grand Tour is presented by former Top Gear hosts Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond.

Clarkson showed the audience a white Audi TT and challenged them to work out where Hammond was hidden.

James May then removed the back bumper of the car to reveal him crammed inside the car's frame.

The presenters have been criticised for the demonstration, with some viewers branding it "irresponsible".

The makers of the show have so far not commented on the stunt.

Amazon Prime's The Grand Tour became the most illegally downloaded show in history after it was launched on November 18.

The £2.5million opening scene of the first episode is the most expensive in TV history.

Amazon hired Clarkson, May and Hammond after their Top Gear format came to end in 2015.

Clarkson had been sacked from the BBC for an "unprovoked physical and verbal attack" on a Top Gear producer.
