Richard Hammond has a guilty conscience after Top Gear

Richard Hammond, Jeremy Clarkson and James May no longer work together. Perhaps that is why Hammond crawls to the cross with a guilty conscience.

The three have been on screen together for more than 20 years. But now it's over. Boosted previously reported that Richard Hammond, Jeremy Clarkson and James May are no longer working together.

In fact, a very central company that the three had together is now dissolved. Read more about it here.

And perhaps that is why it is time for self-examination at Hammond. In any case, the TV host nicknamed 'Hamster' has a guilty conscience. And that especially towards James May.

Hammond tells this in an episode of his own podcast Who We Are Now .

In the episode, Hammond talks to Josh Fletcher, who is an expert in the disorder obsessive-compulsive disorder, also known as OCD. Something James May has been linked to several times, although he has not been officially diagnosed with OCD.

And so it stings Richard Hammond's conscience. Because 'Hamster' today readily admits that he poked at James May's OCD when the two, together with Jeremy Clarkson, made up Top Gear's host trio.

– Now I feel bad about it. Because that's the kind of thing we used to do. We made fun of what for many people is a very, very serious disorder.

– It especially affected James. And actually all the time, says Hammond.

In fact, both Hammond and Clarkson used to call James May 'Mr. OCD' in the Top Gear days. One of Richard Hammond's favorite pastimes was, he says, to set his watch strap on purpose when James May was around.

However, the three cannot have become mortal enemies. Recently, they caused the internet to boil over with speculation about a comeback to the TV screen. Read more about it here .
