A well-known ice cream company has told Richard Hammond off on Twitter for his bizarre comments

Fair play to them.

Richard Hammond has taken a lot of criticism this week following the emergence of a bizarre quote about gay people and ice cream.

On Hammond’s new show The Grand Tour, the former Top Gear host heavily implied that ice cream was a gay person’s food, and that he doesn’t eat it because he is a straight man. Makes sense to you? Us neither.

Wall’s ice cream, which is sold as HB/Wall’s in Northern Ireland in partnership with Ireland’s Hazelbrook farm, has had their say on the subject, and it’s spot on.

Something that, in 2016, we really shouldn’t need to be reminded of.
