Is Jeremy Clarkson's Amazon show turning into a car crash?

Former Top Gear host tweets that he ‘had a bit of an accident’ while filming his new series

Top Gear: Netflix could air new series in global battle with Amazon’s Clarkson

Everyone has been waiting for Jeremy Clarkson’s new Amazon show to end up as a car crash – now he has tweeted a picture of one. The former Top Gear presenter posted a photo of a crumpled car on Wednesday with the caption “Had a bit of an accident while filming today”.

Clarkson appears to have survived unscathed – although his co-presenter Richard Hammond was less than impressed.

@JeremyClarkson Two words for you:
Dingle. Berry.

There has been speculation that the car was a Land-Rover Discovery – possibly with parts of an MG on it. But was Clarkson really driving it? And where was the photo taken?

Clarkson has been tweeting photos over the past week of his chums and himself living the high life in Barbados, where they have been filming.

Co-presenter James May appeared to have a bit of an accident himself on Saturday, when he lost one of the lenses from his glasses.

He also posted a photo of Clarkson looking grumpy.

In any case, Monkey is glad Clarkson survived the crash – though his fans will no doubt be wondering what happened to the other car...
