<\/p>\nJEREMY Clarkson and his team have found themselves in serious trouble while shooting The Grand Tour's latest special.<\/p>\n
Chaos took over filming when the show's presenters were left stranded in Botswana. <\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Amazon Prime's hit motoring program returned to the platform in mid-September 2022 for a brand new fifth season. <\/p>\n
Jeremy, Richard Hammond, James May and Andy Wilman carried the show to success after their respective exits from BBC staple Top Gear. <\/p>\n
In recent weeks, the TV stars jetted off to Zimbabwe for a special episode. <\/p>\n
But many Grand Tour viewers were taken aback today when James May turned to X, formerly known as Twitter, with a shocking announcement. <\/p>\n
The presenter revealed that he and his co-stars were "marooned" in Botswana due to an issue with the flight they would have boarded to go back home. <\/p>\n "BREAKING",the 60-year-old wrote, "Grand tour presenters MAROONED in Botswana wildlife paradise following cancellation of BA flight home. Updates to follow."<\/p>\n Many fans immediately took to the comment section, with some making light of the situation. <\/p>\n "Here's a suggestion… The Grand Tour journey through Africa back home. Multi-part special as the trio drive their way back home instead of fly", one viewer wrote. <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Another quipped: "Plot twist: This is part of a challenge with Jeremy Clarkson driving his hated Porsche 911 home while James May and Richard Hammond try to fly home."<\/p>\n "Now James May is attempting to get a new flight to stay in the challenge after a cancellation."<\/p>\n However, a representative for British Airways also jumped into the conversation with a solution. <\/p>\n A few minutes later, James posted another, seemingly humorous, update on their situation. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n "LATEST. Staff\/guest ratio \u2018as low as 40:1\u2019 in hell-hole safari lodge where GT presenters have been abandoned by their crew. Cheese has arrived", he wrote, sharing a photo of a cheese and fruit board. <\/p>\n When asked about what his co-star Jeremy Clarkson was up to by a fan, James added: "He\u2019s sitting opposite me and drinking ros\u00e9 rofl. The situation is desperate."<\/p>\n Prior to their flight issues, Jeremy Clarkson penned a touching thank you note to the country of Zimbabwe, a bordering country with Botswana, on his own X account. <\/p>\n "My profound thanks to the people and government of Zimbabwe for helping to make a very special Grand Tour special, very special. We absolutely adored everything about your country. Apart from the pot holes maybe", the statement read. <\/p>\n Fans demanded to know when the next episode of The Grand Tour would be dropping on Amazon but were met with silence. <\/p>\n As mentioned above, the fifth series began last year with its latest instalment in Central Europe aired on June 16, 2023. <\/p>\n This means viewers will most likely have to be patient before seeing the outcome of the presenters' chaotic trip. <\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/NINTCHDBPICT000740776087.jpg\")
