Unfortunately for Brundle, the music icon rejected his interview advances not once, but twice.

Brundle continued to press for a word from May but his pursuit ended without a result.
“Brian are you up for a chat with Sky? No?” Brundle said.
“No worries, you don’t need to know anything, just nice to see you on the grid. Thank you very much, no problem at all.
“We don’t want to make life difficult for him.”
Luckily for Brundle he did manage to secure chats with the likes of Rowan Atkinson, Stuart Broad and Mo Farah.
