Jeremy Clarkson came under fire following the release of his The Sun column where he slated Meghan Markle - and it has now been named the most 'complained about article'. According to press regulator IPSO, the story where Clarkson said he "hated" the Duchess of Sussex received a record number of more than 17,500 complaints as of 9am on Tuesday.
This overtook an article published in the Scottish Sun in August 2020 about the Stonehaven train derailment, which previously held the title of the most complained about article with more than 16,860 complaints.
The complaints for Clarkson's article managed to surpass the total number of complaints the media regulator received in the entire year of 2021, which was 14,355. The story was removed from The Sun's website on Monday at Clarkson's request after receiving an influx of backlash.
