Jeremy Clarkson will be back on the BBC in two weeks

A change of heart by the Beeb

He won’t be on Top Gear though.

Jeremy Clarkson will return to BBC television in two weeks as the guest host of Have I Got News For You.

The controversial presenter was fired by the UK broadcaster a few weeks ago after he physically assaulted Top Gear’s Irish producer Oisin Tymon.

Clarkson will guest host the satirical news quiz show on April 24 and we’re expecting plenty of digs from show regulars Paul Merton and Ian Hislop.

A BBC spokesman told The Mirror, “Jeremy’s contract has not been renewed on Top Gear but he isn’t banned from appearing on the BBC.”

It’ll make for interesting viewing.
