James May injured in shock London bike accident as new Channel 5 show derailed

1 month ago 8

James May has been injured in a bike accident.

The 61-year-old Grand Tour star was training for a charity bike ride in London when he suffered the accident near Hammersmith Bridge. He fell to the floor and ended up with a "bust wrist" during the nasty accident.

The former Top Gear Presenter's injury has meant he is currently unable to shoot scenes for his new Channel 5 show, titled The Great Explorers with James May.

May has admitted it's taken him "much longer" to heal up from the fall due to his age. He told The Telegraph: "At my age, this sort of thing takes much longer to heal. I woke up one day and the one thing I never thought would happen had happened: I felt old. It's partly my hair; my baggy face."

Shortly after the accident, James took to X to reveal his wrist injury. He wrote: "I'm taking part in a charity bicycle ride today, with the Armonico Consort and me old mate Oz Clarke (OBE). But I'm going in the car, because I bust my wrist in a bicycle accident."
