Richard Hammond has addressed his and Jeremy Clarkson’s behaviour towards James May.

Clarkson has found further success with the Prime Video smash hit Clarkson’s Farm which documents life at his Diddly Squat Farm in Chadlington, Oxfordshire.

May now runs a pub in Wiltshire and did star in his own travel show while Mr Hammond podcasts with his daughter.

Whilst together over the years, Clarkson and Hammond would taunt May over his obsessive-compulsive behaviour by calling him ‘Mr OCD’.

“We used to... and I'm feeling bad about it talking to you now, Josh, because I'm thinking,” he said.

“Wait a minute - we were part of that' - making light of what is, for some people, a really, really serious condition.

“We used to hit James with it all the time.”

Despite Hammond’s admission, May has never confirmed whether he has been diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder or not.
