ICYMI Richard Hammond has whipped up quite the stir over comments he made on the latest episode of The Grand Tour.
He basically said he doesn’t eat ice cream because he’s straight – which is just as ridiculous as it sounds.
Wait, Richard Hammond has said men eating ice cream is gay? Mate. Please stop talkinggggggg. pic.twitter.com/IuVuZjhWJn

Now people are equal parts baffled and annoyed – though at least we have these people to thank for showcasing how laughable the whole thing is.

So, Richard Hammond reckons it's Adam and Eve and not Ben and Jerry. #IceCreamGate. #TheGrandTour.
