EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: The Grand Tour's Jeremy Clarkson set for £24million payday with Top Gear pals Richard Hammond and James May

I can reveal that the motormouth is about to share an astonishing £24 million pay-out with his former TV presenter colleagues, Richard 'The Hamster' Hammond and James May .

The Grand Tour trio and their producer, Andy Wilman, are closing a company they used to channel their earnings from the Amazon Prime Video series and newly published documents show that it's worth the huge sum. The pair dined on scallops and langoustines to start, followed by Iberico pork chops and lamb cutlets with chips fried in duck fat, topped off with a Grand Marnier souffle, ice cream and a chocolate mousse. Sidestep: Strictly pro Nadiya Bychkova, 34, declines to comment on the controversy surrounding the hit TV series, but a pal tells me: 'Nadiya thinks chaperones are a good idea.'
