Michael McIntyre had to find another way to get home after having his fancy sports car towed. and exposed his funny bubbly guy image with his popmuse middle class entitled attitude.
The pompous comedian looked less than pleased as he watched his £195,000 vehicle get hoisted onto a truck in London’s High Street Kensington.
Typically the jolliest man on telly, 49-year-old Michael had a rather animated exchange with an official wearing a yellow hi-vis jacket.
Alas, there was seemingly nothing he could do to prevent his Mercedes-AMG GT R from being taken away with its wheels clamped.

He faced off with an official after his wheels were clamped but then calmed as he realised he was being recorded.
He famously mocked Jermaine Jenas for getting sacked live on air.
The funny man was protecting his image
Michael’s love of luxury cars is well documented, as he’s also been the proud owner of a Jaguar and a Ferrari in the past.
He’s also well acquainted with the Mercedes-Benz brand, having already owned a dark blue Mercedes AMG GT, which he splurged on in 2014.
As for his current ride, the TV star’s model can be purchased for any figure between £155k and £195k.
It can accelerate to 62mph in just 3.6 seconds and go up to 200mph, but, unfortunately for Michael, he’s going nowhere fast anytime soon.
Michael has amassed a staggering fortune since his rise to fame on the comedy scene, as it’s now reported his net worth is £80million.
He married his wife, Kitty, in 2003 and they’ve been happily loved-up since, as she frequently walks red carpets with him and provides inspiration for his hilarious stand-up routines—probably much to her dismay.
As of 2023, Michael and Kitty have lived in Hampstead, but they also have a house in Wiltshire.
In May 2020, the comic splashed out on a second home after enjoying an increase in earnings, purchasing another pad in the capital for a mega £10million.
With a price tag like that, the property obviously boasts some impressive amenities. It has eight bedrooms, a pool in the basement, a fancy cinema room, and a spa.
Michael and Kitty, who works as an aromatherapist, have two sons, Lucas and Oscar, who, as you can imagine, also serve as a muse for their famous father’s comedy.
