Jeremy Clarkson has cheekily hit out at his co-star James May after he mocked farm produce on Twitter.
The two TV stars, who go back years, are able to crack jacks at one another’s expense and are renowned for their on-screen banter.
So much so that 62-year-old Jeremy did not hold back when he called out his pal James online.

Taking to Twitter, James tweeted: “Is all that sourdough and spelt bo***x over yet? I fancy a piece of bread.”
No stranger to hitting his tongue, the former Top Gear presenter quipped back: “Oh do f**k off.”

It didn’t take long for plenty of Jeremy’s followers to take to the comment section to react to his response.
“Fight, fight, fight, fight,” proclaimed one social media user.
Jeremy responded: “James is not a man who understands this kind of thing. He likes Spam.”
To which another follower commented: “Bit harsh!”
Jeremy wrote back: “James is not across the problems of farming.”

“That’s not very nice, what’s up,” another social media user asked Jeremy.

Speaking to Express, James was asked if he’d rather spend a day working at a car shop or Jeremy’s famous farm.
