In another recent episode, things became a little awkward as presenters Raj Bisram and Charles Hanson had a heated row at the wheel.
As they journeyed to their next destination, Charles criticised Raj’s driving posture, claiming he sat “quite far forward”.
Raj took this as a jibe at his “short legs”, prompting Charles to suggest he could get shoes with bigger soles or even “get some stilts”.
Don’t miss… [UPDATE]
An irritated Raj retorted: “This is a campervan, why don’t you just get in the back and have a lie down?” Charles responded with concern over Raj’s driving, leading to Raj firing back: “It’s bad enough when you’re driving!”
That was when narrator Tim Wonnacott interjected to stop the squabbling. The voiceover told audiences: “Don’t be fooled, they love each other really”, before later adding: “Now, now children. Settle down.”
