Sharing it on Instagram to make sure all his social media followers saw it, the TV star captioned the video: “Enjoy this one (no grans were harmed in the making of this video).”

He later told his followers: “Just so you know that video got me banned off TikTok for a day so you better enjoy it. It was worth it."

In the staged clip after the cyclist ‘hits the bonnet of their car’ Tom Senior says: “Oh you k***head. Jesus Christ, is she off the bonnet?”

Tom Jr adds: “She’s gone, she’s gone.”

His dad then says: “Get the reverse, let’s get out of here quickly. Don’t tell your mum.”

Tom left Gogglebox earlier this year after six years on the sofa alongside his parents, Tom and Julie, and his brother Shaun.

He said he’s venturing into other TV projects after new opportunities “came knocking.”
