Top Gear lead presenter Jeremy Clarkson found himself in trouble when he got the news that he is being sacked for “pending an investigation”. Unfortunately, Top Gear fans will not be able to watch their favourite show this Sunday.
Last May, the 54-year old presenter got what he calls his “last warning” and in his own words, British Broadcasting Company had made it clear to him that he will be fired if he made “one more offensive remark, anywhere, at any time”.
Multiple reasons have been reported for his suspension. Firstly, he had a “fracas” with some BBC producer. Secondly, he is also accused of using a “casual racist” comment during the Burma special episode (series 21, March 2014). The show also sparked anger when the presenter tied a dead cow to the roof of a Chevy Camaro by backing the vehicle and throw the animal to the ground, during a one-off US Special (series nine, February 2007).
BBC once again found itself in trouble due to the presenter when he hit a horse chestnut tree while testing the power of a Toyota Hilux (series three, November 2003).
