Clarkson lifts sex claims gagging order on ex-wife

TOP GEAR presenter Jeremy Clarkson has abandoned an injunction to prevent allegations about his private life being published.

The gagging order banned the publication of personal details, including a claim by his first wife Alexandra Hall that they had an affair after he married current wife Frances.

The BBC star, who took out the injunction at the High Court in Britain last autumn, decided to lift it because it was “pointless” and “injunctions don’t work”.
