Top Gear presenter James May has said that modern men are "useless".



The 47-year-old, who also fronts new show Man Lab, made the declaration in an interview with the Radio Times.

He said: "I think women are getting a bit bored with blokes being useless. I keep reading that women are better at school and now better at parking, better at navigating.

"And we are sort of laughing at it going, 'Ho ho ho, I'm just a bloke', but really in my lifetime men will only be required to keep sperm at operating temperature and they will have no other functions."

He added: "The decline of practical skills, some of them very day-to-day, among a generation of British men is very worrying – they can’t put up a shelf, wire a plug, countersink a screw, iron a shirt.

"They believe it is endearing and cute to be useless whereas I think it's boring and everyone’s getting sick of it."
