The former script editor on Top Gear says he feels 'let down' by Jeremy Clarkson.

Speaking for the first time on national media, Richard Porter, who has written a book about his time on Top Gear, says 'Jeremy was my hero' but reveals that he 'didn't speak to him for months' after a fight between Clarkson and a producer in March 2015. Jeremy Clarkson's contract for Top Gear wasn't renewed by the BBC following the fracas. Richard Porter was the script editor of Top Gear for the last thirteen years right up until when the programme was taken off air.

He told Phil Williams on 5 live that he was disappointed by Clarkson's 'moment of madness' and underwhelmed by the apology that followed.
