Popular Top Gear host Jeremey Clarkson was back to his provocative best when he declared to a live audience that his bosses at the BBC had fired him.

While speaking at a charity event on Thursday, Clarkson said, "I don't know when I did my last-ever lap of the Top Gear test track before the f***ing b******s sacked me."

The star then blamed the corporation for the downfall of Top Gear and said, "The BBC have f****d themselves. It was a great show and they fucked it up."

Clarkson was suspended earlier this month pending an internal investigation where he stands accused of punching show producer Oisin Tymon. Clarkson was said to be unhappy with the cold platter of food presented at a hotel following a day's filming.

The final 3 episodes of this year's Top Gear show were cancelled after news broke of Clarkson's suspension.

Co-hosts Richard Hammond and James May were then offered the opportunity to complete this season but they refused to do so.

At the Charity House in Roundhouse in Camden on Thursday, Clarkson auctioned a lap around the Top Gear track for £100,000.

He said, "I didn't foresee my sacking but I would like to do one last lap. So I'll go down to Surrey and I'll do one last lap of that track before the fucking bastards sack me."

Clarkson added: "I'll be a bit tearful when I do it, but fuck it, let's do it."

Clarkson has a strong fan base of supporters with more than million people signing a petition to have him reinstated on the show. The BBC Corporation has not yet responded to the comments made by Clarkson.
