The Grand Tour has had nothing but praise heaped upon it since its debut in November.

But the show and one of its stars, Richard Hammond, are now at the centre of a furious Twitter backlash following a joke about ice cream and the LGBT community.

After linking eating ice cream to being homosexual in episode six of the show, the 47-year-old presenter's strange comments have prompted cries of outrage on social media.

If you're comparing breeder to his fragile masculinity complex on associating ice cream with queers, then that is on you I guess :)

Breeder is a derogatory term for people who have children
Given gay couples can breed as well I don't know what your poll is about, other than trying to insult

I'm just making the point that many people responded to the ice-cream joke as "just a laugh" when it's not really. I (very obviously) wasn't being serious, just using sarcasm to make a point :)

[MB.]

Ah, straight people and sarcasm aren't a good mix

What we should be talking about instead of arguing is the lesbians. Do they eat ice cream?
