Gyles Brandreth has been criticised for his view on Jeremy Clarkson's comments about Meghan Markle which he made in his column in The Sun. Discussing the matter on ITV's This Morning, the 74-year-old suggested: "We're playing [Clarkson's] game. We're talking about it. It's done to draw attention and it's great for The Sun and great for him. He thinks he's being heard. I think that if you haven't got anything positive to say, don't say anything."
Whilst Gyles seemed to totally disagree with Clarkson, he added: "Tis' the season to be jolly so my view is, don't talk about it anymore." The discussion came after the former Top Gear presenter said that he hates the Duchess of Sussex more than serial killer Rose West. His comments, which have been described as "abhorrent", have garnered a huge reaction. One person who was particularly disappointed was Carol Vorderman. Read more about what she thought here.
"Silence is the unbearable repartee," added Gyles, who implied that Clarkson doesn't deserve coverage. His reaction, which was condemned by host Josie Gibson, has also been criticised on social media.
