Sky Sports broadcaster Martin Brundle shuts down Michael McIntyre's request at the Monaco Grand Prix in another awkward exchange
Martin Brundle did not have much time for Michael McIntyre 's hopeful request at the Monaco Grand Prix on Sunday. The Sky Sports host, 65, spoke to the comic, 49, as he interviewed the big names at the event, beginning the conversation by saying he had been invited onto Michael's 'show with the circle'. Brundle said: 'Your people invited me onto your show with the circle.' Spotting an opportunity for a joke, the comic replied: 'The show with the circle? It's called The Wheel! 'I think a Formula 1 driver should know what a wheel is. That is not a circle, it's called a wheel.' After establishing the upper hand in the conversation with his quick wit, Michael took the opportunity to repeat the invite to his popular quiz show. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The comedian asked: 'Why don't you come on The Wheel?' Martin then explained that he was unable to appear on the show because of his other commitments in June, but he plans to take up the invite one day. He said: 'Because I can't do it, it's in June. 'I've got to do some other things, but one day I will.' For those unfamiliar with the show, The Wheel is a quiz show which features a contestant who answers questions with the help of celebrity experts. Hosted by Michael, contestants have a chance to win cash prizes of up to £116,000. Needless to say, Martin, as a former Formula 1 driver, would likely be a help for any motoring questions. Michael's appearance at the Monaco Grand Prix comes after troubles in his own motoring life after his luxury sports car was towed in Kensington High Street earlier this month. He was photographed speaking to an official as his high-end £195,000 sports car was hoisted onto the back of a lorry with its wheels clamped He was photographed speaking to an official on May 14 as his high-end £195,000 sports car was hoisted onto the back of a lorry with its wheels clamped. The comedian looked unimpressed as he had an animated discussion with an official, who wore a yellow hi-vis jacket as builders watched on. The funnyman looked dapper in a navy suit and pink shirt while he sported his signature square glasses for his unfortunate outing into the city. Michael's vehicle, a Mercedes-AMG GT R, had been hoisted onto the back of a tow truck as it was moved from the street. The TV star's vehicle was towed after it was parked in a parking bay reserved for police vehicles.

Map reveals UK's most expensive parking hotspots where YOU could be charged over £1k a year just to pull up outside home
Nine of the 12 worst spots are all located in a single city PARKING MAD Map reveals UK's most expensive parking hotspots where YOU could be charged over £1k a year just to pull up outside home A MAP has revealed the UK's most expensive parking spots, where some drivers fork out over £1,000 per year. Some unfortunate motorists face whopping fees just to leave their cars on the street outside of their home each and every day. 3 Some car owners in Islington, London, are subject to the highest annual parking permit fees in the country Credit: Getty 3 Across the largest towns and cities in the UK, the average motorist has to pay £128 every year to park their car outside their home Credit: Getty 3 The average charge has reached £128 for an annual parking permit for residents across the largest towns and cities, the study by Churchill Car Insurance found. Islington in London has the most expensive residents parking permit (for their first car) in the country, with some paying up to £1,073 for an older diesel car. This is more than eight times more expensive than the rest of the UK, according to Churchill Motor Insurance. The City of Edinburgh is second highest on the list. Drivers living in the Scottish capital can pay up to £777.90 for the year if they have a car with a larger engine putting out over 226g/km. And this is inclusive of a £60 surcharge for diesel models. Camden is third in the order, with owners of diesel cars emitting over 225g/km CO2 stung for £741.40 a year Most London councils also base their charges on emissions rather than vehicle size. Tower Hamlets is next at £497, with Brent charging £429 and Enfield at £395. In fact, excluding Edinburgh, Brighton is the only other non-London area to feature in the top 10 most expensive parking locations. Michael McIntyre remonstrates at parking warden's as his car is being towed away for parking in a restricted bay Some residents in the East Sussex city have to pay as much as £441.65 each and every year to park their car outside their home. This is if it produces more than 166g/km of emissions in a high demand zone. The London Boroughs of Lewisham, Southwark, and the City of Westminster round out the top 10 list. However, they vary on how they calculate the highest charges. Lewisham charges the worst rate for cars which are non-Euro 6 compliant and in emissions band 13. Southwark charges their £336.10 for motors which are diesel and non-ULEZ compliant, while Westminster City Council places a £50 surcharge as part of its £371 fee on vehicles which produce emissions over 256g/km. 10 worst councils for parking fees London Borough of Islington (Highest annual residents parking fee of £1073.60) City of Edinburgh (£777.90) London Borough of Camden (£741.40) London Borough of Tower Hamlets (£497) Brighton and Hove City Council (£441.65) London Borough of Brent (£429) London Borough of Enfield (£395) London Borough of Lewisham (£384) Westminster City Council (£371) London Borough of Southwark (£336.10) However, one way to avoid these major charges is by using an electric vehicle (EV). For example, if you were living in Islington and wanted to get a 12-month permit for your zero emissions motor, instead of paying a ridiculous £1073.60, you could pay just £111.70. The near 90 per cent saving is incredible and a fantastic option to consider in order to gain long-term savings. This comes just weeks after The Sun revealed a map which showed the UK cities with the most parking fines issued. Manchester City Council topped the rankings as the authority that issued the most parking fines throughout 2024, handing out over 460,000 tickets. Although Manchester is a tourist hotspot, with two Premier League football teams, it may be surprising to many that the city issued more fines than every council in London. The capital has strict Ultra Low Emission Zones (ULEZ), public transport lanes and limited public parking offering. Dorry Potter, vehicle expert at National Scrap Car, said: 'While we would expect to see high levels of fines in a large city like Manchester, it is interesting to see that it outperforms the capital in penalties. 'The complexities of driving in London alongside its expansive public transport infrastructure could be a reason behind Manchester topping the list as motorists are less likely to attempt driving around areas they are unfamiliar with in the capital and thus not make risky parking decisions.'
