It looks like it could be the end of the road for Jeremy Clarkson and his car obsessed TV show The Grand Tour - as reports suggest the show has been axed.

The divisive 57-year-old TV host launched his Amazon-backed show to much fanfare back in 2016 alongside Richard Hammond and James May.

The new show came about after Clarkson was dropped Top Gear in 2015 after an incident involving a lack of steak and physical violence against his producer.

Amazon - which airs The Grand Tour via its Prime TV service - has spent an estimated £100 million on the show, but won’t renew the series after the upcoming third season, according to a report by the Daily Mail.

Meanwhile Clarkson has already been snapped up to host a revived version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? on ITV.

"There is nothing to suggest they are going to do another [series of The Grand Tour],” a source told the Daily Mail.

"No one has signed anything and employees are wondering where everyone will go once filming wraps,” the source added.

Show producer Andy Wilman also offered no hint of future seasons, telling the Daily Mail: “We are focusing on series three at the moment.”

A spokesperson for the show has downplayed reports that The Grand Tour is over - but stopped short of saying there will be more than three series,.

The spokesperson told Mirror Online: "The team have only just finished series two and have not begun filming series three yet - so it's too soon for any decisions to have been made."

And Jeremy himself has warned followers on Twitter not to "believe" reports that the show has been axed, offering fans hope there could be more car action to come from him, James and Richard.

Meanwhile, last week it was revealed Jez will helm an all new series of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? which is set to return to screens to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the show - which made it’s debut back in 1998.

“I have always loved the show and am thrilled to be involved with its rebirth.

"I’m looking forward to hopefully making a few millionaires!” Jeremy said after being unveiled as the new host.
