BBC suspended Jeremy Clarkson 'for punching producer because his DINNER wasn't ready on time'

Jeremy Clarkson has been suspended and the rest of the Top Gear series is now in doubt after he allegedly punched a producer in the face after discovering there was no catering at a filming location in Newcastle.
The 54-year-old was suspended by bosses for allegedly taking a swing at the show's assistant producer Oisin Tymon, 36, left, in a row over his dinner. The Corporation also confirmed that Top Gear would not be aired on Sunday and doubt now hangs over whether the further two remaining episodes of this year's series will go ahead. However, there has been a huge backlash to his suspension with more than 150,000 signing a petition (inset) to have him reinstated and tens of thousands more used the #BringBackClarkson hashtag to show support. Clarkson was pictured outside his west London home, centre, and drinking in his local pub yesterday, top right, and said: 'I'm having a nice cold pint and waiting for this to blow over'. After the latest in a long line of scandals Clarkson's BBC career is hanging in the balance after the 'fracas' and sources have told MailOnline that ITV may be preparing a £10million bid to lure him away.
