A massive sculpture of Jeremy Clarkson’s head has been called “a tacky monstrosity” after a family won a competition to have it in their garden.
Zohaib Alam, 15, entered The Grand Tour Twitter competition for his dad to win the 6ft fibreglass sculpture of the former Top Gear host’s head.
“My dad loves the show and I love those types of programmes too,” the teenager, who lives in Salford, told the Manchester Evening News.
“I tweeted the show after I saw the competition and suddenly I got a tweet back to say our front garden was big enough for Jeremy Clarkson’s head.
“I know Jeremy Clarkson has got a big head but we said it would fit after we found out the dimensions. It was amazing when we found out that we had won. It’s the first time we’ve won anything.”
He added: “Everyone came out of their houses when it was delivered. It was a bit awkward and people were taking photographs, but it’s only a bit of fun.
“I think the idea is that the heads [including the other Grand Tour hosts] will move around from place to place.
“Everyone on the street is talking about us and the statue and we want to thank them for their patience.”
However not everyone is as pleased, one person tweeted: “Why the f--k is @JeremyClarkson massive head in my neighbours garden??!! @RichardHammond”
While another added: “It’s a bit of a tacky monstrosity but I guess we’ll have to live with it.”
