Jeremy Clarkson has admitted he made the monumental fatal error of forgetting to release a book before getting suspended from the BBC for a "fracas" with a producer.
The Top Gear presenter is often in the media for his controversial actions and opinions but these usually happen to coincide with a book release or sometimes a DVD, just by chance.
However, Clarkson admitted that on this occasion he "forget" to send the manuscript to his publisher.
He said "Normally I just write it and send it off to the publisher, I don't hear anything for months as they like to tone down the racist, sexist and homophobic stuff, which doesn't bother me and then after a couple of months they ring me to ask me to attend some book signings"
Last year Clarkson was in trouble for saying the N word, usually used in a derogatory way to describe black people, in a previously unseen video from 2011.
He went on "But this time I rang them as soon as I got suspended from the BBC and asked when the first book signing was, there was a slight pause, a bit of mumbling and then the guy told me that he hadn't received the manuscript"
Clarkson finished by letting slip why he was suspended from the BBC "it's a bit embarrassing really, now I've been suspended for nothing, I just wanted the publicity for my new book, I didn't even mean to hit the producer, she was the nearest thing to me".
