James May has made a candid confession about former colleague Jeremy Clarkson and his Diddly Squat farm, admitting that he didn't expect the series to still be going. The duo, who

presented together on Top Gear and The Grand Tour, recently parted ways earlier this year after working together for two decades. Speaking about Clarkson's Farm, James said that he was

surprised that the show was heading into its fourth season: "Yes, because he's not very practical.” He added: “He's deeply afraid of anything physical or manual. It's

given him a new purpose, which he possibly needed." When asked if he's spoken to Clarkson or Richard Hammond, he told Radio Times: "I’ve spoken to them a few times and I

suspect we’ll go out for a beer somewhere – just because we can – not because we have to come up with some gags, plan a road trip or choose some cars, but for the hell of it. It’d be quite

interesting.” James owns his own pub in Wiltshire, named The Royal Oak, which he opened in 2020. Meanwhile, Jeremy launched his own pub earlier this year: The Farmer's Dog. Just a few

weeks ago, Jeremy had been left in 'agony' after suffering a health issue at his Diddly Squat farm, which has forced him to make changes to the Oxfordshire farm. The current

'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?' host previously experienced "tightness in my chest" and "pins and needles in my left arm" prompting an ambulance rush to

hospital to investigate these warning signs. Following an electrocardiogram (ECG) that ruled out a heart attack, Clarkson revealed that his doctors warned him he may have been mere days from

a more severe health crisis. In an interview with the Sunday Times, he explained: "It seems that of the arteries feeding my heart with nourishing blood, one was completely blocked and

the second of three was heading that way." A household name for decades, Clarkson has enjoyed a long-standing television career, including a 13-year stint on Top Gear alongside Richard

Hammond and James May.
