Read our privacy policy A letter from ITV’s CEO, responding to a call for Jeremy Clarkson to be removed from the channel, has stated that the presenter’s views are not shared by the broadcaster. The letter, published by Deadline on Wednesday, reads: “Everyone at ITV is very aware of our responsibilities as a Public Service Broadcaster and I’d like to be clear that the comments made were Jeremy Clarkson’s own and are in no way endorsed by ITV. “It is also worth adding that Jeremy Clarkson is not an ITV employee and that when he appears on ITV it is as a quiz show host on a show which does not provide a platform for his opinions.” In December, Kevin Lygo, ITV’s director of television, said that Clarkson would remain the host of Millionaire “for the moment”. Plan auto-renews until cancelled Try for free However, his future on ITV has come into question after recent reports emerged of Amazon Studios having plans to ‘cut ties’ with the presenter.
