JEREMY Clarkson, presenter of BBC motoring program Top Gear, on Thursday “begged forgiveness” for appearing to use a racist insult in a non-aired clip recorded for the globally successful show.

Clarkson, no stranger to controversy, explained that he had recited an old nursery rhyme that includes a racist term, but tried to mumble out the offending word.
