James May discusses the ‘pressure’ of Top Gear

James May gave a rare insight into his personal life as the former Top Gear presenter shared details of his recent holiday abroad with his girlfriend Sarah Frater. The Grand Tour star revealed he got "ill" when the couple stayed at a health farm in Germany which left him with a "belting headache" last month.

    The car-enthusiast cheekily joked that he was put on a "starvation diet" at the clinic which in his own words were admittedly full of "middle-aged and fairly wealthy" individuals.

    James spoke candidly in a podcast about his trip abroad which he seemingly appeared not too keen about.

    Speaking with Jay Rayner, the journalist and food critic pushed for James to tuck into his lunch but the Grand Tour host appeared rather hesitant.

    "Ok, how much of this am I supposed to eat?" the former Top Gear presenter quizzed.

    John replied: "Well, we're just having lunch mate. If you went, 'Well, I've already eaten.' Then I'll obviously be furious.

    James remarked: "I don't know if I should admit to having just spent a week at a health farm in Germany.

    "Not my idea, it was Sarah's - my other half. She's always wanted to do it."

    He continued: "I take her away in September - around her birthday - and we normally go on a cultural European city break and look at art galleries and do a lot of eating and wine drinking.

    "It was clear in the initial medical consultation when the doctor arrived, he thought, 'Ah! There's actually something we can work on,'" James joked.

    "They immediately put me on a starvation diet. All I could do was chew a herbal infusion."

    James said: "Sarah sat there having the food that they do and it's fairly simple in small portions.

    "So I had to chew tea for two days and I had to do this liver detox - I'm not sure your listeners are going to want to hear this."

    "She wanted to try a [health] clinic for a week and I did it. It made me ill to be honest."

    James went on: "You go in [to the clinic] and you get the impression it's full of middle-aged, probably fairly wealthy people who have absolutely nothing wrong with them.

    "But they feel more virtuous because they've gone for a detox or whatever."

    The small-screen star explained that he went for a medical consultation and was immediately placed on a liver detox.

    "After two days, I had a belting headache and could hardly see anymore. I was faint and trembling with hunger and I went to them, 'This is ridiculous. I'm on holiday and you've made me ill. You're going to have to give me some food.'

    "And they went, 'Very well.'"

    The small-screen star explained that he attempted to order a "chicken curry" but his request was met with "disdain".

    However, it seems James has since made a full recovery following his visit to a health farm.
