The three of us come as a package, says Top Gear co-presenter

James May, Top Gear co-presenter, made a statement relating to Jeremy Clarkson’s sacking saying “we were a team ... the three of us come as a package”.

May said that what has happened was a “tragedy” and that “as much as I think he’s a knob, I quite liked working with Jeremy”.

“I don’t really have anything to say about it. It’s a tragedy. I’m sorry that what ought to have been a small incident sorted out easily, turned into something big, but I don’t want to say anything more than that as I have only known for the past few minutes, and if you excuse me, I very desperately have to write the eBay listing for my Ferrari.”
