James sets Heat readers' pulses racing

Congratulations of a sort to Top Gear's James May, who has been named winner of Heat magazine's "weird crush" award. Oh yes. May beat the other finalists - comedian Stephen Merchant, chat show host Matthew Wright and Strictly Come Dancing's Anton Du Beke - in the public vote, which gets him the prize of, erm, a three-page feature in Heat magazine. "It means I must be weird," May opines. "From now on, I am going to spend more time cultivating my weirdness because it obviously pays off," he says. Obviously. Incidentally, May's co-presenter Richard Hammond won the award last year. So is it safe to assume that Jeremy Clakson will complete a hat-trick for the Top Gear troika next year? Now that would be a weird crush.
