Will Young has slammed the hosts of The Grand Tour, as well as the show's broadcaster Amazon Prime, for a 'homophobic' segment in which a Jeep Wrangler was test-driven
The three presenters - Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May - appear on the current season of the motoring show in the bizarre clip in which they claim driving a Jeep means you should wear 'ventilated chaps', 'moisturise' and play 'It's Raining Men' whilst in the car
Pop star Young - who is gay - was evidently watching the third episode of the new season when he stumbled across the segment, taking to Twitter to communicate his outrage
The former Pop Idol winner, 40, branded the trio of men 'f**king pathetic and actually homophobic' as well as well as 'repulsive' and 'obtuse, bigoted immature babies'
In a six-tweet rant, Young typed: '1. I love cars always have always will. 2. I loved going on top gear 3
Excited about watching new Top gear and I'm afraid 3 heterosexual men SO uncomfortable with their sexuality that they reference in some lame way a Wrangler Jeep being a Gay mans car Share this article Share 587 shares '
and then Hammond and May's 'quips' to Clarkson wearing chaps , a pink shirt , he should get some moisturiser
It's f**king pathetic and actually homophobic . And screw them and the show and Amazon (who by the way is a wonderful organisation I hope to forge a relationship
'. relationship with through lgbt content ) for putting this shaming archaic trype out
@amazonprimenow it's insulting and they can't rest on laurels of 'oh we are just politically incorrect' It's sad and shaming , bigoted and for f**ks sake grow up
How dare they stereotype 'Gay men . I DON'T drive a Wrangler Jeep. I DON'T wear pink shirts
I DON'T wear a**eless chaps. You can be honest and funny without this ridiculous 'lad' ooh being gay and let's laugh about it mentality
It's repulsive and how DARE you do it and put it out @PrimeVideo 'Hang on they are doing more HYSTERICAL things
Pink roof now on Clarkson's Jeep AND they are playing 'it's raining men' it's SO funny I can't contain myself
I mean being gay is just SO funny for those type of straight men @PrimeVideo 'And you know what really f**ks me off is this is a DECISION by the producers
Let's make one of the narratives the 'gay Jeep' how DARE you you obtuse , bigoted immature babies of men [sic]
'He then tagged a number of LGBT+ news outlets. MailOnline has approached Amazon Prime and May, Clarkson and Hammond for comment
The episode is a Colombia Special and sees Clarkson branding the 4X4 an 'LGB-Jeep'
The presenter - who was sacked from the BBC's Top Gear three years ago when he reportedly punched a producer for not offering him steak for his dinner - also jokes that LGBT stands for, 'lesbian, bacon, transgender'
In the irreverent scenes, Clarkson gets behind the wheel of the Jeep, to which Hammond says: 'I'm proud of you
That's a hard thing to do and you've done it. You're going to be so much happier
' This remark is, on it's own, somewhat odd, but he then elaborates, saying: 'You should have gone the whole hog
maybe some nice chaps, suede but ventilated at the back. And that [pink] shirt, you've picked up that colour - have you been getting advice?' Hammond was the centre of a similar anti-gay furor in 2016 when he made a statement suggesting that only homosexuals eat ice-cream
While sat in a brand new Rolls-Royce, Clarkson declared that eating a chocolate Magnum ice-cream would not be tolerated inside the car
Hammond was then sure to remind viewers of his sexuality, by assuring Clarkson that there would be no ice-cream eating from him - anywhere
'It's all right, I don't eat ice-cream. It's something to do with being straight. Ice-cream is a bit
y'know,' he said.Clarkson pressed this, asking: 'You're saying ice-cream is a bit
You're saying all children are homosexual?'Hammond replied: 'No, but. There's nothing wrong with it, but a grown man eating an ice-cream, you know, it's a bit
It's that way rather than that way.'This was then followed by a gag about a 99 flake and the 69 position
Hammond later told The Times: 'I entirely reject any criticism of me being anti-gay
That's just not the case. The very last thing I am is in any way anti-gay. And I said I believe that love is love
'He added: 'There are people who are genuinely homophobic and they would disagree with my view that love is love and people are who they are
'Hammond also remarked once that he didn't understand why LGBT+ people 'feel the need' to come out of the closet anymore, for which he also received criticism
