Video · Jeremy Clarkson was 'offered Top Gear return'

Former Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson has claimed he was offered a sensational return to the hit show, days after his former job was given to Chris Evans. His claim comes as one of his former colleagues, James May, was announced as the host of another BBC motoring show and pictures were released of the pair with Richard Hammond from their final Top Gear appearance. Clarkson, axed in March for punching producer Oisin Tymon in a row over a steak dinner, told the Sun he met an unnamed BBC executive last week before Evans, 49, was unveiled as the new host.
