A Top Gear script editor has said how furious he was at Jeremy Clarkson for a "fracas" with the show's producer earlier this year.
Richard Porter, who worked on all 22 series, said Clarkson's behaviour was a kick in the teeth for everyone else who worked hard on the show.
"[Jeremy] didn't sit down or even take his jacket off," he claimed in his book, And On That Bombshell: Inside The Madness And Genius Of Top Gear.
"He just told us he'd made a confession to management and that he was sorry to all of us.
"With that he left the office for what would be the very last time."
He added: "I was furious. Properly, knee-jiggingly, teeth-grindingly furious.
"His apology seemed half-hearted and feeble, like a child saying sorry because they know it's what the adults want to hear, rather than a sincere reflection of remorse."
