George Michael Calls Jeremy Clarkson A 'Pig-Ugly Homophobic Tw*t'

George Michael has called Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson a “pig-ugly homophobic tw*t”.

It comes after the presenter made a quip about the former Wham! singer on a recent edition of the show.

While reviewing a new car, Clarkson, who is thought to have been provoked by a joke Michael made on Twitter earlier this month, said that when going round bends the vehicle “will get its tail out more readily than George Michael”.

On Twitter today (July 19), Clarkson said: “Good grief Mr.Clarkson, I wasn't implying your towering heterosexuality was in question. I had no desire to insult you!

“But I do now, you pig-ugly homophobic tw*t!!!!!”

Earlier this month, Michael posted a video of a pink Bentley on his Twitter page and joked that it was from “Top Queer”.
