Jeremy Clarkson has issued an apology after facing intense backlash following a bizarre rant about Meghan Markle. The presenter, 62, said in a column for The Sun that he “hated” the Duchess of Sussex more than serial killer Rose West and Nicola Sturgeon.He wrote: "Meghan, though, is a different story.

Clarkson added that everyone his age "thinks the same way".READ MORE: Jeremy Clarkson slammed for 'vile' Meghan Markle rant as he claims he hates her 'more than Rose WestThe Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO) said it had received more than 6,000 complaints over the article.The former Top Gear presenter took to Twitter to apologise following the fallout, writing: "Oh dear.
