Jeremy Clarkson and co nursing (self-inflicted) wounds after O2 live show

As Monday hangovers go, it looks like the former Top Gear team of Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May are experiencing a particularly acute case following the final show in their live tour at the O2 on Sunday night.

As Clarkson tweeted this morning, two of the team are having difficulty making it to their “first big shoot”, presumably for their forthcoming motoring show on Amazon, while a third is on his way but “broken”.

But which member of the team is valiantly soldiering on?

Word reaches Monkey that May was spotted on Monday morning at London’s St Pancras station with his arm in a sling, mobile but more than a little worse for wear.

Injured in the line of duty entertaining the fans? Not according to the man himself, who when asked how he’d acquired the injury said: “I fell over, it’s the drink.”

Over-celebrating, rather than showmanship, looks set to delay the trio’s next stint in front of the cameras.
