Jeremy Clarkson makes formal apology to Irish producer in £100k settlement

Jeremy Clarkson has issued a formal apology to the Irish Top Gear producer he punched in a deal to settle a racial discrimination and personal injury claim against him.

Oisin Tymon launched the action against Mr Clarkson and the BBC after the presenter gave him a bloody lip in a bust-up last March.

Mr Clarkson reportedly flew into a rage after being told he could not order steak after a day of filming, calling Mr Tymon a “lazy, Irish c***” during the fracas at a North Yorkshire hotel.
