‘Is your masculinity so fragile, eating any phallic shaped object threatens your heterosexuality?’
Host of TV show The Grand Tour, Richard Hammond has revealed he doesn’t eat ice cream because it’s a bit ‘you know’.
Implying the act of eating an ice cream is gay, Hammond says he doesn’t enjoy eating ice cream because it’s ‘something to do with being straight’.
Co-host Jeremy Clarkson then asks: ‘You’re saying all children are homosexual?’
To which Hammond replies: ‘No, but… there’s nothing wrong with it, but a grown man eating an ice cream, you know, it’s a bit… that was rather than that way.’

The cringe-worthy conversation gets a rousing applause by the studio audience, but Twitter was quick to condemn the exchange.
Richard Hammond gags while explaining ‘men who eat ice-cream are gay’ on The Grand Tour, ep 6.

I wish George Michael was still alive so he could tell Richard Hammond to take his fragile masculinity and shove it up his arse.
