James May throws up after trying Jeremy Clarkson's gin
But now, May - who has his own gin brand - has fired a joking shot at Clarkson in a review of the former's gin offering.
On TikTok, May sets about reviewing this new gin: "Gin in a tin. Oh! It's Diddly Squat Farm Shop gin.
"Exclusively distilled in the shire by gin in a tin, bla bla, Diddly Squat. Usual UK chief medical officer's stuff.
"Well, it is at least a gin. Smells ginny, very promising."
He sips a shot, he 'throws up'. Standard.
Users in the comments couldn't tell whether May was play acting (we think that is definitely the case) or not.
One said: "I can't tell if that was on purpose or if he actually did that as a reaction to it."
Another commented: "I like even after 25 years of friendship they do everything they can to destroy each others business lol"
Someone else replied: "Adding "CLARKSON!!!" here would've been absolutely gold James."

Now, all three of the former Grand Tour presenters have a gin, as Richard Hammond joins the fun.
Hammond, 55, will launch his new gin brand Ratio soon, joining May and Clarkson, whose James Gin and Hawkstone gin brands were released in 2021.
Hammond said he is well aware that he has got some catching up to do with his former colleagues.
'I'm the last of the party, which is amusing because I'm the more committed gin drinker,' he said.
'All the years we've worked together, I was drinking gin way before the current resurgence of it,' he added.

Cambridge Dictionary adds 'skibidi' and 'tradwife' among 6,000 new words
What the skibidi is happening to the English language? 'Skibidi' is one of the slang terms popularized by social media that are among more than 6,000 additions this year to the Cambridge Dictionary. 'Internet culture is changing the English language and the effect is fascinating to observe and capture in the dictionary,' said Colin McIntosh, lexical program manager at Cambridge Dictionary, the world's largest online dictionary. 'Skibidi' is a gibberish term coined by the creator of an animated YouTube series and can mean 'cool' or 'bad' or be used with no real meaning as a joke. Other planned additions including 'tradwife," a contraction of 'traditional wife' referring to a married mother who cooks, cleans and posts on social media, and "delulu,' a shortening of the word delusional that means 'believing things that are not real or true, usually because you choose to'. An increase in remote working since the pandemic has created the new dictionary entry 'mouse jiggler,' a device or piece of software used to make it seem like you are working when you are not. Concerns over climate change are behind the addition of 'forever chemical,' a harmful chemical that remains in the environment for a long time. Cambridge Dictionary uses the Cambridge English Corpus, a database of more than 2 billion words of written and spoken English, to monitor how new words are used by different people, how often and in what contexts they are used, the company said. 'We only add words where we think they'll have staying power," McIntosh said.

Sapphire, who 'knew from a young age' that she 'wanted to be a sex icon' is now forced to get her surgery done in Turkey because doctors at home have refused to treat her. The surgery fan, who is from the United States, has spent $150,000 [£110,750] going under the knife in the hope of achieving the 'perfect' look of a doll, as she told Truly: "I'm altering my body to look like a Bratz doll. 'I want to look like a Bratz doll because the Barbie doll is boring, especially after the Barbie movie. 'I wanna look like a Bratz doll because they're hot - they're way hotter than Barbie.'

Despite the risks of surgeries and intense aftercare she has to go through, she doesn't regret any of the money that she has spent, as she shared: "Looking at photos before the surgeries, I feel like, oh my God, I would never want to look that way. 'People sometimes think like their 20s were their best years? I'm like, no, not at all." Following this, she added: "To my younger self, I would say I probably should have started getting plastic surgery early. I guess I would have done more of the extreme surgeries faster and then I would have saved money." The 'plastic-positive' woman then opened up about getting surgery abroad, as she continued: 'I go to Turkey for my face because American doctors won't treat me anymore.

She looked so much better before surgery. Body dysmorphia is a sad thing YouTube user "The future, for me, looks like, hopefully, a Bratz doll. And just living a fabulous life in La La Land." Social media users react YouTube users were left gobsmacked by Sapphire's love of surgery and many eagerly raced to the comments to express their thoughts on her 'ridiculous' look. What are the risks of getting surgery abroad? IT'S important to do your research if you're thinking about having cosmetic surgery abroad. It can cost less than in the UK, but you need to weigh up potential savings against the potential risks. Safety standards in different countries may not be as high. No surgery is risk-free. Complications can happen after surgery in the UK or abroad. If you have complications after an operation in the UK, the surgeon is responsible for providing follow-up treatment. Overseas clinics may not provide follow-up treatment, or they may not provide it to the same standard as in the UK. Also, they may not have a healthcare professional in the UK you can visit if you have any problems. Source: NHS One person said: 'This is so so sad.' Another added: 'I feel sorry for people who can't stop from craziness, She needs a psychiatrist and not plastic surgery.' I'll know when to stop, or I'll die on a surgery bed Sapphire Saint A third commented: 'She's addicted to plastic surgery. I know an addict when I see one.' Meanwhile, someone else gasped: 'The lips are so ridiculous.' Not only this, but one user wrote: 'She looked so much better before surgery. Body dysmorphia is a sad thing. I hope one day she learns to love herself.' Unlock even more award-winning articles as The Sun launches brand new membership programme - Sun Club

I paid £80 for my mother's birthday cake but it arrived looking nothing like I had ordered
A woman has revealed how her mother's birthday was ruined after she received an £80 cake that looked nothing like the one she had ordered. The doting daughter, from the UK, took to TikTok to share a snap of the dessert alongside a snap of the cake she had ordered. The bakery had advertised an elegant white cake, with tulips around the outside and a simple plain top of fondant icing. However a cake with a cream base, with purple roses dotted on the side and huge reams of purple buttercream frosting on the top arrived instead. Taking to social media, the Brit asked: 'Is it rude that I am disappointed? I wanted this cake for my mum's birthday. I paid £80'. 'I didn't ask for one as big. Nor is it anything like the photo!' 'Am I in the wrong? I don't want to be/sound rude!' Many rushed to the comments to say she should complain and 'request a refund'. One person said: 'Get that charge disputed first of all that's appalling.' To which the posted replied: 'I don't want to seem rude as the woman seemed so nic, but... that is in no way shape or form what I asked for.' Another added: 'Oh my god, sue. Genuinely try everything to get your money back it's not what you agreed on at all. Someone else said: 'This is crazy, not even one aspect is like the picture. Even the white top layer is too yellow!' A fourth added: 'Refund. It doesn't in anyway represent the product shown. The only similarity is that's it's a cake. 'You wouldn't go into a car dealership and buy yourself a Porsche and be happy when they deliver a Peugeot. They're both cars but...' Many suggested there might have been a mix up with the cake orders, while others wondered if the post was 'rage bait.' Many rushed to the comments to say she should complain and 'request a refund', while others thought it was a joke One person said: 'First i'd make sure there wasn't a mix up with orders. Still bad, but if that isn't actually your cake, would explain the huge difference.' Another said: 'This better be satire.' Someone else added: 'It's amateurish, garish and awful take it back and ask for your money back.' Another added: 'Are you rage baiting me..' It comes after a 'shattered' bride revealed her wedding day was 'ruined' after receiving her £300 cake. The British newlywed took to her TikTok account @brunarobertson to share snaps of the three-tier cake, which looked nothing like she had imagined. The woman revealed the cake was 'the most important part' of the big day and she felt devastated when it was delivered it in three pieces. The bride claimed the baker who dropped off the cake even told them to 'put it together' themselves, which added to the stress of the important day. She revealed her 'heart sunk' and she still cries looking at the cake in her wedding snaps. The woman revealed the cake was 'the most important part' of the big day and she felt devastated when it was delivered it in three pieces The video, which racked up over 56,000 views, was captioned: '£300 down the drain but I hope our photographer will make the cake look a little more decent in photos.' Writing over the snaps of the cake, the fuming bride added: 'Nothing can hurt me... I will never forget how my cake lady nearly ruined the most important day of my life, this cake cost me £300. She delivered it late and in three pieces and just told us to 'put it together.' 'This is how she delivered... I still cry looking at these pictures because I had an image of our cake and us cutting it, to me it was the most important part of the ceremony and she absolutely ruined it. 'When I got to the venue and I saw the cake, my heart literally sunk and I wanted to cry, it was too late to do anything about it as the guests were walking in - she really ruined the cake part. 'Every time I walked past that cake I felt rage and sadness, like that cake put me in a foul mood on my wedding day! She continued: 'The cake is not at all what I imagined, it was falling apart!' Luckily the bride's aunt did her best to assemble the cake and add some aesthetic decorations. The bride added: 'This woman is someone I will always carry in my heart, £300 down the drain & I was honestly shattered!' Many rushed to the comments to sympathise with the bride, with some offering support. One person wrote: 'Jesus Christ, I never ever would I allow a bride or family member to stack one of mine. So sorry.' The bride replied: 'My auntie is a cakebaker, she came from Scotland from the wedding, she tried her best to save the cake!' Another added: 'Dispute the charge with your bank and send them evidence. You'll get your money back.' Someone else wrote: 'Oh my goodness this makes me so sad. I hope the rest of your day was beautiful. I'd be asking for a refund'. A fourth added: 'As a cake decorator myself, this is totally not acceptable. Did you ask for a refund? I would be taking this further if not. So sorry she ruined your big day.'
