The Grand Tour’s Jeremy Clarkson confirms new special episode has already started filming with powerful nod to Ukraine

THE Grand Tour's Jeremy Clarkson has confirmed a new special episode has already started filming with powerful nod to the Ukraine.

The motoring television series was last seen on our screens December 2021.

But fans will be happy to know that hosts Jeremy, Richard Hammond and James May are back filming for a fifth special, this time in Norway.

Filming for the highly-anticipated episode was supposed to take place last year, but Covid travel restrictions prolonged plans.

Jeremy recently shared a video of him wrapped up in the cold weather to confirm that they had finally landed in the Scandinavian country.

The star later appeared to touch upon Russia's invasion of the Ukraine with a snap uploaded to his Instagram grid.

The picture consists of one yellow and one blue car - the colours of the Ukraine flag.

Jeremy captioned the post: "Subtly flying the flag on our latest adventure."

Many fans praised the presenter for his post.

One wrote: "Subtlety always a strong suit here!"

Another said: "👏🔥🔥🔥🔥good on you sir."

A third chimed in: "Thank you Mr Clarkson, very cool."

The Grand Tour premiered on online streaming service Amazon Prime Video in 2016.

However, the latest series has been tricky to film due to the coronavirus pandemic.

For the fourth series, titled Carnage A Trois, the trio explored the bizarre world of French car culture by driving a variety of French-made cars and also practising a number of French driving techniques.
