Default Will Young threatens to report Grand Tour over 'homophobic' jokes

During the latest episode of the show, the trio drive through Colombia, with Clarkson in a Jeep. His co-hosts suggests the vehicle is for gay people, with Hammond suggesting Clarkson needs a new grooming routine and a change of clothes.
He said: "Maybe some nice chaps. Suede but ventilated at the back." Later, The Weather Girls' hit It's Raining Men plays from the Jeep's stereo.
After raising concerns over the episode on Twitter, openly gay Young said on Tuesday evening he had received no response from Amazon, so industry regulator Ofcom "beckons".



Will Young

@willyoung


No word from @PrimeVideo so @Ofcom beckons . Enough is enough and I’m pissed and fed up. I want Amazonprime and the producers of grand tour to meet young lgbt who want to kill themselves because of shaming and laughter and normalising of shaming homophobic narratives..:

"I want Amazonprime and the producers of grand tour to meet young lgbt who want to kill themselves"

What's that got to do with cars?

If it was anyone else making this point I would probably agree but I hate will young so...

What he needs to remember is Jeremy is always controversial but I do think he is joking and he also needs to remember that James may himself is a gay man

People take things to far these days literally everyone has to walk on egg shells

It was just a joke, and some cars are a bit fruity.

I don't get why he is so offended? I don't like Jeremy Clarkson at all, but it's very clear here that it's a joke, and imo people shouldn't be getting offended at jokes as there's no malice involved.

They’ve been making jokes like that for years so if he was really offended by it all, he wouldn’t have followed the three of them over to Amazonprime, he’s desperate for a few headlines by the looks of it, shame

Will Young is so much better than these 3 dullards getting giddy over a car. Of course they're homophobic

A furious, topless, Will Young spotted on his way to Offcom to report The Grand Tour for "shameful stereotyping of the gays and their cars on Amazon Prime"

Those three are arseholes, weak little men trapped by their insecurities over the size of their dicks and their fragile sense of masculinity. They're just middle aged teenagers that appeal to other middle aged teenagers with similar insecurities. Their brand of humour should go back a few decades where it belongs.

They aren't funny, they never have been, they just appeal to the lowest common denominator of gammon. It's just juvenile and devoid of any wit or higher thought.

Default Piers Morgan SLAMS Will Young’s 'repulsive music and over-reaction to everything'

Piers Morgan has fired back at Will Young after the singer slammed the hosts of The Grand Tour for a 'homophobic' segment.

The broadcaster, 53, took to Twitter on Wednesday to reveal: 'I’d like to hit out at @willyoung’s repulsive over-reaction to absolutely everything. And his repulsive music.'

Piers was responding to a headline which revealed the former Pop Idol winner, 40, had hit out at 'repulsive homophobia' after slamming
Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May,
as well as The Grand Tour's broadcaster Amazon Prime.

You have an issue with that, yet are not creeped out at a gay man in his 40s trying to appeal to teenage girls through his music...perhaps your prejudices against middle aged white men are clouding your judgement.

Yeah, considering his faux outrage at a vegan sausage roll, he’s not exactly well equipped to take anyone on overreacting
