Jeremy Clarkson hasn’t exactly said he DIDN’T have a “fracas” thingy with Top Gear producer Oisin Tymon.
And now it’s claimed that he was actually the one who dobbed himself into Beeb bosses. Eh?
And we were imagining Jezza swaggering around the BBC post steak-gate, drunk on alleged rose wine, until he got called into a side office and ticked off.
Daily Mail columnist Richard Littlejohn wrote:
“My understanding is that Tymon hasn’t made an official complaint. Clarkson denies punching him, but admits there was ‘contact’ and has apologised profusely.
“It’s the kind of thing which happens when people are living under pressure in each other’s pockets.
“Dressing room fisticuffs are not unknown among rock stars or on rugby tours. Normally what happens on tour stays on tour.”
It’s alleged that Jeremy wanted to give his side of the conflict before it leaked to the press.
We think we can see which side of the argument Littlejohn is on – Jeremy’s. The two are friends, so his view is obviously biased.
The #BringBackClarkson petition has now reached 750,000 signatures. Bet Richard Littlejohn has signed a few times.
Jeremy’s now changed his Twitter bio to read “probably a Top Gear presenter”. The BBC are making him sweat, aren’t they?
