But Jeremy, 61, appeared unimpressed with the show as he urged the trio to "calm down".

Catching wind of Jeremy's tweet, Paddy took an opportunity to respond to the brutal post.
In view of his 541,000 followers, the Question of Sport host fired back: "The same thing that’s happened to Top Gear JC. New personnel, bigger ratings. Love you."
He finished the tweet with a kiss-faced emoji.
Jeremy left his role on BBC's Top Gear in 2015 and Paddy took the reins four years later.
The Clarkson's Farm presenter didn't respond to Paddy but in a follow-up tweet he took aim at the sports quizzing programme.
Jeremy commented: "I only watched it for 10 minutes and I have a terrible headache. Why can’t they all calm down?"
Viewers flocked to comment on the post, as the presenter sparked a divide.

Peppermint Rock commented: "It went woke!"
Andy Cleave added: "Not the same without Sue Barker, Dawson and Tuffnell."
However, others disagreed and said they enjoyed the new format of Question of Sport.
"Sue Barker and that format had been around for 24 years. It’s a game show at the end of the day and Paddy appeals to a very broad demographic," Patrick Ford remarked.
Thom added: "They freshened up the lineup."
This is not the first time Jeremy and Paddy have taken aim at one another on social media.
The pair often poke fun at each other on the micro-blogging site with Paddy goading the presenter over his former role on Top Gear.
Question of Sport airs Fridays on BBC One at 7.30pm.
