Amazon’s The Grand Tour: James May is having a ‘difficult time’ after show’s rumoured axe in the midst of Jeremy Clarkson scandal

The Grand Tour's James May has taken to Twitter to share that he is having a "difficult time". The tweet comes following reports from Variety that Amazon has decided to cancel The Grand Tour after comments co-host Jeremy Clarkson made about Meghan Markle.

May wrote: "Thank you for all your birthday wishes/c**p jokes/sod offs. It is very comforting at this difficult time," and was met with a barrage of supportive comments. The presenter's social media feed was also jam-packed with commemorative pictures on his 60th birthday.

Clarkson has worked with May and Richard Hammond since 2002, initially appearing on Top Gear together. Then, following Clarkson's firing from that show in 2015, the three presenters began working on another motoring programme, The Grand Tour, on Amazon Prime.
