Jeremy Clarkson to stay as host of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire 'at the moment'

The Telegraph  

Jeremy Clarkson is set to remain as host of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire "at the moment" despite his "awful" comments about the Duchess of Sussex, an ITV boss has said. The former Top Gear presenter faced a public backlash after writing in The Sun that he was “dreaming of the day when she is made to parade naked through the streets of every town in Britain while the crowds chant ‘Shame!’ and throw lumps of excrement at her”. He added: “Everyone who’s my age thinks the same way.” The Independent Press Standards Organisation revealed that the article had generated more complaints than any other, topping 20,800 by 5pm on Tuesday. It was awful.” Asked if ITV would keep Clarkson as host of the quiz show, Mr Lygo added: “Yes, at the moment we are.”
