You won’t believe the things Jeremy Clarkson did!

Gay slur (July 2010)

Allegedly Jeremy talked to “star in a reasonably priced car” Alastair Campbell about being “bummed” in scenes that did not make it on air. Campbell revealed on his blog: “I cannot remember how the subject of homosexuality came up, but I said at one point that he wasn’t very sound on gay rights … ‘Oh yes I am,’ he said, adding, to more laughter from the largely adoring (of him) crowd ‘I demand the right not to be bummed.’ I had the immediate thought that this was unlikely to be broadcast at 8pm on a Sunday, with Songs of Praise still ringing in some ears, but nonetheless chipped in that I suspected he was worried that he might like it. He seemed to enjoy that, and recalled his public school education, though without any detail.”
