According to the BBC, the main host of the popular TV series Top Gear, Jeremy Clarkson, was suspended after a ‘’fracas’’ with one of the producers. Because of that, the episode which was supposed to be shown on Sunday has been cancelled.

Mr. Clarkson is no stranger to scandals: after quite a few jokes which could be interpreted as racist and various other controversies concerning things he has said on various occasions, the host was warned by the BBC that the next scandal would be his last. Details about the current situation are few and far between, but it seems that there was an altercation between Clarkson and a producer.

We will provide an update as soon as we know more.
