Michael McIntyre<\/a>’s day took a turn for the worse when his flashy sports car got towed away.<\/p>\n

The comedian looked less than pleased as he watched his \u00a3195,000 vehicle get hoisted onto a truck right outside Metro’s HQ, just off High Street Kensington.<\/p>\n

Typically the jolliest man on telly, 49-year-old Michael had a rather animated exchange with an official wearing a yellow hi-vis jacket.<\/p>\n

Alas, there was seemingly nothing he could do to prevent his Mercedes-AMG GT R from being taken away with its wheels clamped.<\/p>\n

Images taken this afternoon capture the Big Show host<\/a> looking dapper wearing his signature navy suit with a pink shirt and glasses.<\/p>\n

Construction workers in central London watched the scenes unfold after Michael parked his motor in a parking bay reserved for police cars.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for Michael, getting your car back after being towed comes at a price and is quite the inconvenience.<\/p>\n

According to the DVLA, if you reclaim your vehicle after 24 hours, the clamp release fee is \u00a3200 and vehicle storage could cost up to \u00a321 a day.\u00a0<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

As for his current ride, the TV star’s model can be purchased for any figure between \u00a3155k and \u00a3195k.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Michael has amassed a staggering fortune since his rise to fame on the comedy scene, as it’s now reported his net worth is \u00a380million.<\/p>\n

He married his wife, Kitty<\/a>, 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\u2014probably much to her dismay.<\/p>\n

As of 2023, Michael and Kitty have lived in Hampstead, but they also have a house in Wiltshire.<\/p>\n

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 \u00a310million.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
