Hosts drop like flies

JEREMY Clarkson has joked that James May is the “only functioning member” of The Grand Tour team left after he was admitted to hospital for pneumonia. The driving show’s host, 57, fell ill during a family holiday in Majorca.

His fellow presenter Richard Hammond is still recovering from a car accident in June, leaving May as the one host with nothing wrong.

Clarkson posted a picture on Instagram showing May with his hair standing on end, and quipped: “The only functioning member of The Grand Tour team right now. God help us.”
