Richard Hammond dreams of Jeremy Clarksons pub ban | | UK News

Richard Hammond has amusingly disclosed his want to be banned from Jeremy Clarkson’s £1 million pub. The two tv stars first crossed paths in 2002 after they began co-hosting the BBC show Top Gear, and their shared automotive enthusiasm led to a long-running collaboration extending past twenty years, together with on The Grand Tour.

Hammond cheekily admitted he appears to be like ahead to being banned upon his first go to to his previous pal’s tavern during an look on The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X, quipping: “No, I haven’t been yet. I want to go and get banned. So I’ve got to summon the energy to do that. I don’t think it’ll be that difficult. I think he’s already banned James.”

James May, one other member of the motoring trio from The Grand Tour and a close companion of Clarkson, discovered himself barred from the bar on its very first day.

Clarkson has even reportedly positioned bans on Keir Starmer and Maddy Hornby, including to the institution’s exclusivity.

Meanwhile, May is a part-owner of The Royal Oak pub in Swallowcliffe, although Richard confirmed his lack of presence at Clarkson’s by telling Chris Moyles: “I don’t know, I guess so. I went there. I’ve been to his, but I haven’t yet been to Jeremy’s. I’m always asked.”

When quizzed whether or not he needed to splash out for his own pint at James’ pub, Richard disclosed: “‘Yeah, I had to pay for it.”, experiences The Mirror.

James May, teamed with Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond, turned synonymous with Top Gear for more than a decade after hopping on board in 2002. Their tenure ended abruptly following a scuffle between Jeremy and a producer.

Yet the trio did not call it quits on their partnership; they shifted gears to Amazon Prime with The Grand Tour in 2015. Despite the change in venue, May mirrored on the BBC saga, hinting that the community might have responded in another way to Jeremy’s dust-up with producer Oisin Tymon, which resulted in an investigation and the eventual departure of all three stars.

In an interview with The Times , May revealed: “I thought it was very unfortunate and I don’t actually think our Top Gear had to end because of it. I think it could have been patched up and put down to a bit of high stress and flightiness, to be honest. It happened. It’s regrettable and it’s unfortunate, but it didn’t need to lead to the collapse of something very successful.”

He speculated about whether or not their exit was as a consequence of a sentiment that it was “time of us to move on”.
