Carnage A Trois, their latest special which is due to air next week, sounds like it’s not one to miss.

Speaking about what fans have to look forward to, Richard, 51, revealed that he managed to cause “some damage” to a car while trying to park it.

He confessed: “I did some French parking, which resulted in, ahem, some damage to it.

“It was weird filming that, because there were people in a restaurant watching and I went to park in a French fashion, and they didn’t know what we were doing.

“They obviously thought, ‘There’s that little fella off the telly, he’s clearly gone mad’ because I was destroying cars up and down the road.

“I ended up on my side at one point, inevitably, but we did that all in a very sort of French way.”

Richard will be joined by pals Jeremy Clarkson and James May for the lockdown special.

It will filmed earlier this year and will see them go on a road trip around the UK.

Fans will enjoy watching their usual antics involving cars, but also see them do a spot of mountain climbing and even brave a helicopter stunt.

Meanwhile he has also opened up on the “disgusting and appalling” discovery he made while filming the new special.

In an exclusive interview with BT, Richard shared an alarming discovery he made during the production of the episode.

Richard was asked if any of the presenters would admit to having owned a French car.

“I don’t think we have,” he answered. “There aren’t that many and French cars fit in with the French way of life.

“The most disgusting thing you can do in France is to clean your car on the driveway on a Sunday morning – that would be appalling behaviour, they’d die of shame.”

After leaving BBC’s Top Gear, the trio started presenting The Grand Tour in 2016 for the popular streaming service.

The show has become a huge fan favourite over the years having had four successful series and a number of specials.
