Kay was first shown the ropes in a DS 7 Crossback – Performance Line road car, before being let loose in the all-electric single-seater, which can reach speeds of up to 140mph. And for good luck, the team chose to rename the car after his wife Tess Daly for some ‘moral support’.

I’m one hell of a lucky man – Vernon commented. Why? Because the DS Virgin Racing team and their star driver Sam Bird have agreed to let me drive one of their stunning, all-electric Formula E cars. Are they bonkers?
