The controversial star uses a Romanian to pedal him about in what co-presenter James May calls “feudal” slave labour.

Last night the stunt was branded “tasteless” by migrant charities.

During the episode, filmed in Whitby, North Yorks, Clarkson controls a “driverless car” by speaking through his mobile phone and a speaker.

He lies on top of the car, an old septic tank, as Richard Hammond moans: “Oh God. There’s a man in there.”

But Clarkson, 56, rapped in the past for remarks about gypsies and Asians, said it gave the Romanian “dignity”.

He says: “I am providing employment for newcomers to our country.

“Google use electronics to take away the work of a man – this gives him a job, this gives him dignity.”

Clarkson closes by saying: “British engineering ladies and gentleman – with Romanian parts.”

But the former Top Gear host, who was sacked by the BBC for punching a producer, has been slammed.

A Global Justice Now spokesman said: “It sounds tasteless, the sort of thing Jeremy Clarkson is all about.”
