(Daily Mail) Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson has sparked fury after he was reportedly caught on camera using the n-word during filming of the hit BBC series.

In unaired footage the 54-year-old presenter was allegedly heard reciting the rhyme 'eeny, meeny, miny, mo' before muttering 'catch a n***** by his toe'.

The allegations, reported in the Mirror, come just weeks after Clarkson was accused of racism over referring to a 'slope' on a bridge in an episode filmed in Thailand.

He was also accused of racism after he tweeted a picture of his black West Highland terrier and revealed he had named it after Ivory Coast footballer Didier Drogba.

According to the Mirror, Clarkson uttered the n-word during filming of the third episode of Top Gear series 19 as the star reviewed the £25,000 Toyota GT86 and the Subaru BRZ - which costs around the same amount.

Telling viewers that they may find it difficult to differentiate between the two vehicles he demonstrated how to do it using the child's counting rhyme.

Could we stop quoting the Daily Mail, please.

Will he have to sell his basketball team ?

On the live, aired version he used the word "Teacher" . . . but even I remember that nursery rhyme as a child using the "N" word . . .

The allegations, reported in the Mirror

It's just the mail reporting another story. It's not theirs.

Will he have to sell his basketball team ?

Maybe just a few of his cars . . . but I'd put some of these controversies with Clarkson firmly at the door of the BBC who encourage him/them to be controversial cos it gets better ratings.

Heavens to Betsy, the "N" word! Some people are just too sensitive. I was called a convict the other day.

He actually named his dog Didier Dogba.

With that statement being incorrect I refuse to believe the rest of the article.

JC really is an idiot. He sees nothing harmful in what he does and believes he alone has the right to lecture the world on what is right and wrong. Let's face it, it's the foundation on which he has built his whole journalistic and TV career.

Can't learn, won't learn. So arrogant he thinks he can do no wrong.

He says "teacher" on air. The Mirror story is that during filming he used the word "N*****" and that it had to be re-shot with the word teacher inserted.

The episode was aired in Feb of 2013

I remember it was a colour on my childhood paint kit, and Guy Gibson's dog's name.

Can't learn, won't learn. So arrogant he thinks he can do no wrong.

Many years ago I read an article in which he said that starting out in journalism he decided reporting on motoring was a great deal because of perks like being given flash cars to drive and other considerations.

Another bad day for the Thavisa.com pin up boy Jerermy. Voted moron most Thaivisa posters wanted to be in 2011, 20012, 2013 and 2014.

Cue numerous poor posts about racism towards white people made by old white men.

what are you on about, are you a christian? jc is an entertainer with a huge following, thats what he gets paid for, it seems many have lost their way as far as humor is concerned, this is the 21st century.

If people get offended with nigger, slope, <deleted>, pom etc etc etc then its tuff titty for them, grow up hypocrits, you cant tell me the same people who get offended never used "racist" terms

He courts controversy, and TV members willingly oblige.

And as for the Daily Mail.....

A lot of rapper made a ton of money off the back of that N-word. Also hip hoppin' on the concert stage and Cds cracka' and honkey this and whitey that. Italians are often wops, greaseballs, and guineas in movies.
