James May has addressed the news that Prime Video has cancelled The Grand Tour which also stars Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond. 

It comes as May had to shut down any rumours of the shows ending ahead of the newest season The Grand Tour: Eurocrash.

Speaking to the Radio Times, May shared that although the car show might be coming to its "natural end" the trio have not been asked to leave. 

He said "some people have said we've been cancelled" adding that they haven't but instead "really we're getting quite close to the end of our contract."

James May speaks out against The Grand Tour cancellation

The former Top Gear presenter did however point out that although The Grand Tour is not cancelled, they are not sure if they want to keep it going. 

He said: "But we didn't really have any particular plans to keep going because we're all really just getting a bit old. It might be time to let someone else have a crack at it."

The comments from May follow reports that Amazon might be dropping Jeremy Clarkson amid comments made about Meghan Markle in The Sun. 

Variety previously reported that the streaming service plans to stop working with the host of Clarksons Farm after 2024, depending on the release of The Grand Tour specials. 

Although The Grand Tour could be ended with the current trio or for good, May shared that it won't mean they'll no longer appear on screen together. 

He told the Radio Times: "It doesn't mean we're going to stop making TV. We might still make our individual things - farming or science or mending cars or whatever it is we get up to.

"But I don't know, to be honest. No one has told us to go away. It's reaching its natural end, like parties do. There comes a point at 4am when it is over."

The Grand Tour: Eurocrash will see the trio travel around central Europe from Gdańsk in Poland, through Slovakia, Hungary and Slovenia and it will air on Prime Video on Friday, June 16.
