GO AWAY!

The Grand Tour’s Jeremy Clarkson and Co receive a frosty welcome from Scottish town as locals graffiti walls

The trio were undeterred by the lack of hospitality as they filmed new scenes in Fort Augustus

JEREMY Clarkson and his Grand Tour co-hosts received a frosty welcome as they arrived in Scotland - as locals daubed a fish and chip shop with graffiti.

The presenters descended on Fort Augustus to film new scenes for their hit Amazon Prime motoring series, but residents were far from impressed by the chaos they brought with them.

Sprayed in large black letters, locals wrote the three hosts' names as well as the words "GO AWAY" on the side of a local business, which the show's crew were quick to cover up.

However the stars didn't let the lacklustre reception dampen their spirits, and Jeremy was pictured smiling broadly as the trio set about filming at nearby Loch Ness.

Dressed smartly in shirts and blazers, the men were joined by Olympic cycling legend Sir Chris Hoy to film on the Loch, with the sportsman arriving by helicopter.

In what is sure to be an impressive set piece, the 40-year-old leaped out of the aircraft with gusto, dressed in jeans and a biker-style jacket.

Elsewhere, three stunt men were pictured wearing rubber masks which looked like Jeremy, James and Richard as they drove vintage cars through the village.

Typically, things didn't go according to plan and all three vehicles were seen overheating at the side of the road.

The show has travelled all over the place already, and the most recent episode filmed in Italy was praised by viewers as "Top Gear on steroids".

As it was broadcast from Yorkshire seaside town Whitby, the presenters shared footage from the Italian tour with fans - who rejoiced as it once again focused heavily on the cars themselves.

Featuring super cars including an Aston Martin DB11, a Rolls Royce Dawn and a Dodge Challenger Hellcat, the trio embarked on their own mini tour, exchanging their usual endless banter and stunts throughout.
