He is the Grand Tour presenter who is known for his lustrous locks.

But James May’s crowning glory was left dishevelled as he encountered a strong gust of wind on a trip to Tesco on Tuesday.

The journalist, 57, did battle with the elements as he picked up some pints of milk, with his silver locks swept back from his face.

The star cut a casual figure in a white tee paired with a quilted orange jacket as he stepped out.

James paired this with grey cargo trousers and scarlet trainers.

The star continued to be blown about as he left the shop carrying two cartons of milk, before heading home.

James shot to fame as a co-presenter of iconic programme Top Gear, which he starred in alongside Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond from 2003-2015.

He now hosts The Grand Tour alongside Hammond and Clarkson.

In December they appeared in the first of a series of specials called The Grand Tour Presents: Seamen.

The feature-length episode saw the captivating trio head off on an adventure across the waters of Vietnam and Cambodia, where they will captain three very different types of vessels.  

In the special, Jeremy, James and Richard headed out on a 800km journey through Vietnam and Cambodia that begins Tonlé Sap Lake.

During their trip, the trio had to weave their way through a series of challenges and unexpected mishaps as they make their way to the Mekong Delta.

To go on this epic adventure, Jeremy headed out on a Vietnam-era PBR (Patrol Boat River), which most famously appeared in Apocalypse Now.

And Richard channelled his inner Don Johnson by setting off on a Miami Vice style speedboat, while James headed out on a classic 1939 wooden river cruiser.
