Michael McIntyre's invitation to Martin Brundle 'shut down' during Monaco Grand Prix grid interview
Martin Brundle is not changing his schedule to appear on Michael McIntyre's The Wheel. The F1 broadcaster and former racing driver caught up with the comedian at the Monaco Grand Prix this weekend, during one of his famous pre-race grid walks. And in their chat, Brundle revealed that he had been asked to go on The Wheel — even though he was not entirely sure what the show was called. "Your people invited me onto your show with the circle," Brundle told McIntyre. "The show with the circle? It's called The Wheel!' McIntyre responded: 'I think a Formula 1 driver should know what a wheel is... That is not a circle, it's called a wheel." He then asked Brundle personally on the show, but it was still a no — for now, at least. "Why don't you come on The Wheel?" McIntyre asked. However, Brundle said filming in the summer clashed with his busy F1 schedule. He explained: "Because I can't do it, it's in June.' However, he added that he will do it one day, adding: 'I've got to do some other things, but one day I will." Earlier this month, McIntyre saw his £195,000 Mercedes-Benz AMG GTR towed away in Kensington, West London. MailOnline pictured the comedian, 49, speaking to an official as his car, with its wheels clamped, was hoisted on to the back of a lorry on Derry Street. With a 4.0 litre twin-turbo V8 engine, the AMG GTR can retail for up to £195,000. The Standard contacted representatives of McIntyre for comment at the time. The BBC also recently confirmed it has ordered another two series of Michael McIntyre's Big Show, as well as The Wheel. "I'm so proud of the success of both The Big Show and The Wheel,' he said. 'This will take the Big Show up to its 10th series, which is an amazing achievement for everyone involved. "The Wheel was a show we made in lockdown while we couldn't film the Big Show, but it's become equally beloved. Someone came up to me recently while I was walking the dog and said they 'loved The Big Wheel', I have no idea whether they meant The Big Show, The Wheel or both shows, they may have just come from The London Eye."

The Sun add that McIntyre offered to pay the charge on the spot, but that it was still removed. An onlooker told the paper: 'McIntyre's car was being lifted. I walked past and said 'unlucky'. He just seemed to laugh it off and said 'oh well'. 'I think he may have been coming out of Dishoom as he was on that side.' They added: 'McIntyre was trying to get them to put his car back down but he made sure he didn't make too much of a scene given his audience. 'He was protesting and trying to pay the two tow truck operators not to take his Mercedes away but they weren't having it. 'You could tell he was frustrated but kept himself calm. He was trying to see if he could go with them to the impound. 'The parking bay was temporarily restricted and enforced due to a building site next to it.' The Standard have contacted representatives of McIntyre for comment. With a 4.0litre twin-turbo V8 engine, the model - a Mercedes-AMG GT R - can retail for up to £195,000.
