Read our privacy policy The BBC has apologised to viewers who have complained about Top Gear episodes being postponed following Jeremy Clarkson’s suspension. The presenter has, however, thanked his supporters – more than 800,000 of whom have signed a petition calling for his reinstatement, and who include Prime Minister David Cameron – telling BBC News: “I am very grateful to everybody.” The remaining three episodes of the current series of Top Gear have been postponed indefinitely and filming has been suspended. open image in gallery Jeremy Clarkson leaves his home in London “He said he hadn't done his job properly, it was ridiculous that there was nothing to eat, obviously there was lots of expletives in between all this, and that he would be losing his job, he would see to it that he would lose his job,” Sue Ward, 54, told a Sky News reporter The family’s claims appear to directly contradict reports last night that Clarkson felt there was “no bad blood” between the presenter and producer. Last night Clarkson, who previously made light of the incident to reporters, joking he was “off to the job centre”, changed his Twitter bio to “I am probably a presenter on the BBC2 motoring show, Top Gear”.
