THEY MAY NOT be on Top Gear anymore, but the former Top Gear lads still aren’t doing themselves any favours in the foot-in-mouth department.
Presenter Richard Hammond is in hot water today for saying that he doesn’t eat ice cream, because he’s “straight”.
In a segment of The Grand Tour (their new show on Amazon Prime) with co-presenters Jeremy Clarkson and James May, Hammond responds to Clarkson saying you couldn’t enjoy a chocolate Magnum inside a particular car, telling him
It’s alright, I don’t eat ice cream. It’s got something to do with being straight.
[Audience guffaws]
Clarkson and May look bemused at his answer, with Clarkson asking:
Are you saying everyone who likes ice cream… you’re saying all children are [mutters] homosexual*?
[More audience guffawing]
*God forbid he might say it out loud lest he might CATCH IT
Hammond counters:
There’s nothing wrong with it, but a grown man eating an ice cream, you know, it’s a bit… it’s that way rather than that way.
[Makes juvenile gestures with hands]

Cue a bit more BANTER about 99s and 69s and a “chocolate thingy”, some more guffawing, and the final death knell for any credibility these LADS once had.
Naturally, people are annoyed, and the digs are coming in thick and fast.
