Former Top Gear star James told how he had enlisted the help of wardrobe assistants to freshen up his look ahead of his three months in Europe for new show Exploring Italy.

After spotting an image showing him posing by one of Italy’s vast lakes, sporting a navy blue blazer and pale blue shirt, Carol cheekily told him: “You look quite hot in that, James.”

As he replied: “Do I?” she continued: “It shows off your six pack and your toned, slim physique.”

The Grand Tour presenter, who was left smiling, again questioned: “Do I have one?” to which Carol assured him: “You do in that suit!”
