Canadian biology graduate Thomas initially launched his YouTube channel in 2015 ‘out of boredom’.

He was joined three years later by fan James who had reached out to him asking to be part of the show. They had first met in person at a gathering of Miata car owners.

Meanwhile, since his first TikTok clip, back in February 2021, Francis has risen to social media superstardom.

After soaring to fame thanks to his eccentric and loveable trainspotting videos, Francis has gone on to interview stars including Louis Theroux, Craig David, Sheridan Smith and Tom Daley.

He now commands a following of millions, with his TikTok account boasting more than 3.3million fans, while his Instagram has 2.4million.

Previously speaking about his hobby during an interview with This Morning, he said: ‘I was just fixated by these big machines.

‘Ever since, I’ve had a passion for trains, cars, planes.’

Jeremy, 64, Richard, 55, and James, 62, bowed out of The Grand Tour in September last year.

The original series followed the trio on a worldwide mission to meet different car manufacturers and had been on air since 2016, following their departure from Top Gear two years earlier.

Their exit marked an emotional end of an era for the trio, who first started working together on Top Gear more than two decades ago.

Since then, the trio have featured in Amazon Prime Video’s The Not Very Grand Tour which aired its first episode on April 18 earlier this year.

While Jeremy returned to the world of motoring TV after filming an episode of Car SOS.

Jeremy’s appearance on the motoring show came just months after the final episode of The Grand Tour aired in September.

Meanwhile, Richard and James reminisced on their time on Top Gear as they took a ‘traumatising’ visit to their old studio – ten years on from their final show.

In a video released on Wednesday, for James May’s YouTube series, Planet Gin, the duo decided to revisit the office for ‘reasons unknown.’

James began: ‘Well that is the old Top Gear studio. And that is the old Top Gear green room.’

Walking a round the complex they pushed open the door to one of the abandoned trailers and reminisced on their days on set.

Jeremy Clarkson admits Grand Tour presenters were ‘mostly smashed’

Richard said: ‘It smells the same, terrible. It’s weird it seems like only yesterday but also 100 years ago.

‘This is where we assembled, worked on scripts, had arguments. I feel funny. I feel funny as well. I felt really odd being here. Every week we would come here for years and years and years.’

James: ‘The smell of it is almost traumatising… do you think if I opened this door we’d slip through a portal and be back in 2000 and whatever it was?

‘I sort of want to find something that we left here.’

Richard joked: ‘What like? Hope, ambition, vigour?’

He added: ‘The last time I was here, I was leaving after the last studio record.

‘I was in the bronze Land Rover. And I sat up and thought, well, that was that.’
