The episode of Top Gear sees Paddy McGuiness, Freddie Flintoff and Chris Harris take on several HGV challenges before they eventually become fully qualified lorry drivers. The trio then embarks on an exciting journey across the UK to reach their final destination in Wales.
However, before passing all the necessary HGV tests, including the theory and the practical, sentimental McGuiness reveals that his father was a lorry driver.
Flintoff is also heard asking McGuiness if he’s ever driven a HGV, to which McGuiness replies that he’s only ever driven a “dump truck”.
McGuiness then goes on to say: “I think everyone growing up wants to drive a lorry.”
However, what viewers will probably find the most surprising is the fact that McGuiness says driving a HGV is better than driving a £4million sports car.

At that point, the presenters are completely unaware of the cargo that they are carrying.
It is kept as a surprise until nearly the very end of the episode.
Harris, McGuiness and Flintoff all seem to be in an agreement that trucking is a “more grown-up world” than driving a car.
As the episode goes on, they face several challenges including strong winds on the Severn Bridge as they cross into Wales and multiple tight corners.
The episode highlighted the fact that despite being seen as extremely cool, trucking carries an enormous responsibility.
Truckers are not only responsible for their own safety, but also for the safety of other much more vulnerable road users.
The latest episode of Top Gear airs on Sunday, June 19 on BBC One at 8pm.
