Jeremy Clarkson says BBC won't let him back on Top Gear after 'Royal outrage'
Jeremy Clarkson says the BBC won't allow him to present Top Gear again after he put up a poster of Prince William and Kate Middleton in his office.
The Clarkson's Farm star, 62, was suspended from the smash-hit show before being fired by the broadcaster after he punched producer Oisin Tymon.
The programme is now hosted by Paddy McGuinness, Chris Harris and Freddie Flintoff - and Jeremy reckons there's no chance of him being invited back.
The father-of-three worked for the BBC when he hosted Top Gear from 1988 until 1999, before returning again with co-hosts James May and Richard Hammond from 2002 to 2015.
Recalling his time presenting for the broadcaster, he said: "I know someone who was told to take down his Union Jack because it was 'offensive', and I was asked to remove my poster of Mrs Thatcher because it was upsetting people who walked past.

He claimed a poster of the couple 'angered' the broadcaster (Getty Images)"I did, and replaced it with a picture of Kate and Wills, which somehow made them even angrier," reports The Times.
Speaking about the furore surrounding Gary Lineker, who was suspended from Match of the Day recently after comparing the Home Office's immigration policy to Nazi Germany, he said: “Remember, what everyone on every BBC platform fears more than anything is a Twitter backlash.
“Could I do Top Gear there now? Not a chance.”
The BBC declined to comment when contacted by The Mirror.
While it doesn't look like we'll see Jeremy on the BBC anytime soon, he still has his Amazon show Clarkson's Farm.
Jeremy recently unveiled a new beer trailer at his Diddly Squat dwelling despite the planning row with the local council and residents raging on.
The TV presenter has invested in a new beer trailer to serve customers his very own Hawkstone lager in an apparent way to bring in more revenue at the Oxfordshire site.

Star of Clarkson's Farm, Kaleb Cooper showed off the new bar on Instagram, which is a grey converted horse trailer with pink roof.
It is unclear if the presenter will need planning permission to set up the watering hole, but generally it is not needed for temporary structures that are used for less than 28 days a year.
