James May has delivered a savage response when asked about working with Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond again. The 62-year-old fronted the BBC motor show Top Gear alongside Clarkson and Hammond before all three exited in 2015 when Clarkson's contract was not renewed. They went on to host The Grand Tour on Prime Video until last year when they concluded their working relationship after two decades together.

There are now reports that the trio are set to do more projects together after they returned to the old set for a visit for the first time since they walked away. May has now spoken out about the possibility of a reunion with Clarkson and Hammond, but fans won't be happy with the news, especially since he delivered a brutal reply.

He told ABC News Breakfast: "Yes, we have disbanded. There isn’t going to be a reunion. We’re not like Led Zeppelin or anything like that. In many ways, we’re not like Led Zeppelin."

James did admit that it was time for the show to finish, saying “Well, it was emotional, I suppose; I’ve been in that job longer than I’ve been in any other job by a long, long way. I also think it was time to stop because we always said we would land it with dignity, not fly it into the cliffs."

Clarkson is now running his own Diddly Squat Farm in the English Cotswolds - which is the focus of his Amazon Prime show Clarkson's Farm - and he also has a pub named The Farmer's Dog in Oxfordshire.

The programme follows the trials and tribulations of his Diddly Squat Farm, and his former co-star James May admitted he is surprised by its longevity. The series is about to air its fourth season next month.

He told the Radio Times magazine: "Yes, because [Jeremy's] not very practical. He's deeply afraid of anything physical or manual. It's given him a new purpose, which he possibly needed.

"Maybe it's a big moment for all of us. We've paused to think about who we really are."
