He was spotted wearing neck and thoracic extension braces during his idyllic holiday in Barbados at the weekend.

And Jeremy Clarkson's son Finlo, 21, looked in good spirits as he stepped out wearing the mobility aids and leaning on a crutch on the Caribbean island on Monday, joining his mother Frances Cain and a mystery man for a walk on the beach,

Finlo didn't let the support equipment dampen his enthusiasm for the trip as he walked along the golden sands and cracked a smile.

Finlo appeared to have four incision marks on his lower back which are indicative of keyhole spinal surgery.  

The ex-wife of the motoring ace, 56, showed off her age-defying looks in a multi-coloured leaf print bikini  as she spent some quality time with her only son.  

Frances and Finlo were spotted enjoying a dip in the crystalline waters, with Finlo taking his crutch into the sea as he basked in the sunshine.

His mother's handsome mystery man, who she was first spotted holidaying with a year ago, also lent a hand, helping Finlo out of the sea and back onto dry land. 

Frances was also spotted taking a stroll with daughter Emily, 23, who dazzled in a black floral bikini. 

Thoracic extensions and neck braces, such as the one worn by Finlo, are designed specifically by spine surgeons to treat cervical and high-thoracic injuries. 

It's believed Finlo was wearing OrthoTape's Miami J Thoracic Extension, featuring a Floating Back which is designed without metal posterior uprights.

This radiant appearance comes as Jeremy was revealed as the new host of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?, set to take the role when the game show returns later this year.

Originally presented by Chris Tarrant, the quiz show launched in September 1998 and at its peak pulled in more than 19million viewers.   

Ex-Top Gear presenter Clarkson will host seven episodes to air across one week, marking the show’s 20th anniversary.

The 57-year-old said: ‘I have always loved the show and am thrilled to be involved with its rebirth.

'I’m a big fan of quiz shows and I’m looking forward to hosting this iconic TV show and hopefully making a few millionaires!’

The final episode starring Tarrant, 71, aired in February 2014.   

The programme spawned versions in countries including Russia, Japan, India and the US, while it was also the inspiration behind the Oscar-winning film Slumdog Millionaire.

 The new episodes, which are set to air later this spring, will include a number of new twists and turns for audiences to look forward to, according to ITV.

ITV’s head of entertainment Siobhan Greene said: ‘It felt like a no-brainer to celebrate the show that was a trailblazer of its time and broke the mould.

‘In doing this one-off special week, I hope Millionaire will be introduced to a whole new generation. And with TV legend Jeremy Clarkson asking the questions, frankly anything could happen.’
