Petition urging ITV not to sack Jeremy Clarkson reaches over 30,000 signatures

A petition urging ITV bosses not to axe star Jeremy Clarkson over his controversial comments about the Duchess of Sussex has reached over 30,000 signatures. The 62-year-old former Top Gear host landed himself in hot water after writing a column saying he hated Meghan.

Although he has since apologised for his comments, Clarkson said he wanted the Royal paraded through the streets naked. The presenter has since called his words "disgraceful", reports the Daily Star.

He says bosses at ITV and Amazon Prime, who are behind his current catalogue of programmes, were "incandescent" about the entire thing. A petition calling on the networks to keep the presenter has now reached 30,000 signatures on Change.org.
