Explosive behind-the-scenes footage has emerged showing Jeremy Clarkson's infamous tantrum during his time on Top Gear, shedding new light on the tensions that ultimately led to his dramatic exit from the BBC motoring show.
The never-before-seen clips, reportedly filmed during production, capture Clarkson in a fiery rage, berating crew members and storming off set in what insiders describe as a classic Clarkson meltdown.
The Moment That Shook the BBC
Witnesses claim the outburst occurred during a particularly challenging filming schedule, with Clarkson growing increasingly frustrated with technical difficulties and production delays. "It was like watching a pressure cooker explode," one crew member recalled.
A Pattern of Behaviour
This latest revelation adds to Clarkson's well-documented history of controversial behaviour on set:
- Multiple reported clashes with producers
- Frequent arguments with co-presenters
- Several instances of crew walkouts
The incident, believed to have occurred in 2014, predates but foreshadows the physical altercation with a producer that ultimately ended Clarkson's BBC career.
The Aftermath and Legacy
While Clarkson went on to find success with Amazon's The Grand Tour, the leaked footage serves as a stark reminder of the turbulent final years of his Top Gear tenure. BBC executives reportedly viewed the behaviour as "unacceptable" but tolerated it due to the show's enormous popularity.
Industry experts suggest the revelations may reignite debate about workplace culture in high-pressure television production, particularly around star presenters with significant influence.
