Strap yourself in: the new BBC2 trailer for Top Gear series 27 has just pulled up. And looks like new hosts Freddie Flintoff and Paddy McGuinness are up to a LOT of motorised mischief in their debut episodes.

Also featuring returning co-presenter Chris Harris, the new preview clip shows the Take Me Out frontman and former cricket star scaling Icelandic mountains, racing under threat of an electric shock and skidding a hearse (“the ultimate family car”, according to McGuinness) across a waterlogged Welsh beach.

Plus, we also get a sneak peek at some raft (mis)adventures in the Borneo jungle, the Stig's 'family' and Flintoff riding on the roof of a Mini.
