The news that has received the biggest reaction this week is Robert Downey Jr's walk out of an interview with Krishnan Guru-Murthy.

The Iron Man actor seemed to take offence to personal questions during the chat which was set up to promote his new film Avengers: Age of Ultron.

He said the interview was getting a "little Diane Sawyer" and asked to have his microphone removed before walking out of the door.

No going back

James May has announced that he has no plans to return to Top Gear without Jeremy Clarkson.

After weeks of staying tight-lipped about his position, the TV star has revealed that he won’t present the programme with a replacement following Clarkson's sacking.

He went on to shoot down speculation that BBC bosses were in the process of finding someone new to fill Clarkson’s shoes.
