Jeremy Clarkson was later sacked by the BBC.
Top Gear’s former host Jeremy Clarkson is being sued by producer Oisin Tymon for racial discrimination.
Lawyers for the 55-year-old presenter and the BBC had a closed-door hearing with Tymon’s representatives at a London employment tribunal today, according to sources.
Clarkson, who was later fired by the BBC, reportedly called Tymon a “lazy, Irish c***” during a confrontation at a hotel in north Yorkshire.
Tymon’s law firm Slater and Gordon said it would not comment on the case.
A BBC spokeswoman said: “We will be responding to this claim but will not be commenting further at this time.”
