Jeremy Clarkson won’t be returning for “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” after the latest season following the controversy surrounding his comments about Meghan Markle.
In December, Clarkson wrote a column for The Sun stating that he hated Meghan “on a cellular level” and dreamed of her parading naked through British towns “while the crowds chant ‘Shame!’ and threw lumps of excrement at her.” Carolyn McCall, who has been the chief executive of ITV since 2018, has since confirmed Clarkson won’t be returning to “Millionaire”.
She insisted of the column in an interview with Variety, “We don’t endorse that in any way,” adding: “There’s no place for that on ITV.” Despite Clarkson returning for the latest season, which just wrapped a few weeks ago, McCall added, “We’re contracted to this one. “So we will do that.
