Jeremy shared all as he got behind the wheel of an Alfa Romeo Giulia GTAm for his latest car review.

Although, when he was faced with rain before hitting the tracks, he admitted he didn’t feel quite so confident.

Writing in his latest column, Jeremy said it was the low grip of the car’s tires that left him concerned.

He penned: “I didn’t use to mind a low-grip car on a low-grip road.

“First time that’s happened, ever. I used to think 60 was a stupidly low limit on an A-road and went everywhere at double that, but now, especially when it’s raining, I’m happy to plod along at 50.

“It’s tragic and it saddens me, but I am always aware of the trees at the side of the road and I’m consumed with an urgent need not to crash into any of them.”

Elsewhere, Jeremy has been enjoying a holiday in Croatia.

The presenter has been sharing snaps of his getaway on Instagram with his followers.
