Carol Vorderman brands Jeremy Clarkson a 'sad soul' as MP calls for him to be banned from TV

In a story published in The Sun on Friday, December 16, the former Top Gear host said he hated Meghan on a 'cellular level' and detailed a fantasy of his which would see the royal paraded through the streets naked while excrement is hurled at her.

The publication of the column has infuriated politicians, celebrities and members of the public alike, with many slamming Clarkson for his views on the Duchess of Sussex. Clarkson acknowledged the outrage in a tweet posted on Monday, which some have accused of being 'sarcastic', in which he claimed the the description of his 'dream' about Meghan in his column was a 'clumsy reference to a scene in Game of Thrones'.
