Kevin Lygo says presenter should apologise for column about Duchess of Sussex that attracted record number of complaints
In a recent column for the Sun, Clarkson said he felt “hate” for Meghan and dreamed of seeing her publicly humiliated in the street. Clarkson later said he was referencing a scene in Game of Thrones and asked for the column to be taken offline because people had misunderstood it.
Lygo, the managing director of ITV Studios, told members of the Broadcasting Press Guild: “We have no control over what he says. We hire him as a consummate broadcaster of the most famous quiz on television, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? Asked if ITV would keep Clarkson as host of the quizshow, Lygo said: “Yes, at the moment we are. What he says in the papers we have no control of.”
