Top Gear presenter and perennial caravan abuser Jeremy Clarkson has landed himself in hot water once again after 31,000 people made complaints to the BBC over his latest offensive comments.
Appearing on BBC1’s The One Show, Clarkson described the Isle of Sheppey in Kent as a giant caravan site, the BBC reported.
Matters were made worse for the presenter after the current issue of Top Gear magazine was published in which he wrote: “Mostly, the Isle of Sheppey is a caravan site.”
In response to his supposedly “tongue-in-cheek” comments, Isle of Sheppey MP Gordon Henderson offered to give Clarkson a tour of the area to show him what it’s really like.
Mr Henderson told the news provider that this was another case of Clarkson just being Clarkson.
“He’s quite right in many ways,” the Conservative MP said.
“We have got lots of caravans and that is one of its attractions and I wish more people would come down and use the caravans.”
Should Clarkson take up the unlikely offer, he may well get to check out the award-winning four-star Warden Springs Holiday Park, which has a David Bellamy Gold Conservation Award in recognition of its positive work preserving the local environment.
