The former BBC presenter appears to be giving Jamie Oliver a lethargic run for his money in a badly lit new YouTube cookery episode that sees him give a “masterclass” in making a Shepherd’s pie.
“You join me in the emergency kitchen, or 'kitchenette' if you like, of my workshop area,” he begins, following an ‘awkward uncle at a wedding’ “Yo bros and sisters” intro.
The activity of choice was originally selected by his followers on Twitter last week, who were given a list of four equally mundane scenarios they could watch a jobless May do around the house that weekend:
Clarkson was sacked after an internal inquiry concluded he had assaulted a show producer following a “fracas” over catering arrangements.
So expect to see May taking on the monumental task of producing the perfect steak in an emergency kitchenette soon.
