It comes after James recently claimed he’s gotten ‘well buff’ in lockdown after going out for a bike ride every day in his area.
Reflecting on how he didn’t see either Jeremy or Richard amid the global pandemic, James also joked that being away from the pair helped to make him ‘healthier’.
Speaking to The Sun, James said of Jeremy and Richard: ‘I wouldn’t say I’ve particularly missed them. I’ve seen so much of those two idiots over the past 15 years of my life. I don’t pine for them in any way whatsoever.
‘I’m definitely healthier, no doubt about that. I’m slightly slimmer, I’m stronger. I’m still falling to bits but I’m falling to bits in a slightly trimmer way.’

James went on to explain that he goes out to cycle between five to ten miles a day, and he claimed would follow government guidelines by only going out to exercise once a day.
Of his new fitness regime, he said: ‘I’m well buff now but probably can’t drive my car any more.’
James shot to fame as a co-presenter of iconic programme Top Gear, which he starred in alongside Jeremy and Richard from 2003-2015.
