Alleged moment Jeremy Clarkson recited racist nursery rhyme on Top Gear detailed in new documentary

Jeremy Vine has detailed the alleged moment Jeremy Clarkson recited a racist nursery rhyme on Top Gear.

In a new Channel 5 documentary, the broadcaster explains how Clarkson’s on-screen character “specialises in giving offence” before recounting the row from 2014.

“He did the nursery rhyme ‘Eeny, meeny, miny, moe’ and the really old rendering of that contains the N-word. He sort of mumbled to obscure the word but in one of the takes, he thinks the word wasn’t obscured and he thinks this take then emerged later,” Vine said.
