Richard Hammond has prompted a backlash after suggesting that men who eat ice cream are gay on the most recent episode of The Grand Tour.
Quote:
"It's alright, I don't eat ice cream," Hammond said. "It's something to do with being straight."
Quote:
Clarkson and Hammond appeared slightly baffled while members of the audience cheered and applauded.
"Why are you applauding him?" Clarkson asked the crowd. "What do you mean... you're saying all children are homosexual?"
Quote:
"Ice cream is a bit... you know," Hammond continued, saying: "There's nothing wrong with it, but a grown man eating an ice cream - it's that way, rather than that way.

Clarkson appeared to try and steer the conversation back to his joke about chocolate and the white leather seats, making a comment about "the chocolate thingy" in a 99 ice cream cone.
