— Caitlin Moran (@caitlinmoran) March 25, 2015So Jeremy Clarkson has officially been given the chop. #TopGear will survive just fine without him I reckon
— Darren Kennedy (@Darrenken) March 25, 2015I'm not sure which news is worse; @JeremyClarkson losing a job or @piersmorgan getting one.
— Gary Lineker (@GaryLineker) March 25, 2015Gutted at such a sad end to an era. We're all three of us idiots in our different ways but it's been an incredible ride together.
— Richard Hammond (@RichardHammond) March 25, 2015I'm available > RT @HylandIan: Top Gear should just replace Clarkson with a tub of lard.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) March 25, 2015If he'd stuck to just punching me, he'd have been fine. #Clarkson
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) March 25, 2015It's like Twitter has gone into overload. I'm confused. Kilkenny are dropping Jeremy Clarkson from the panel for the next series is it ?
— Will Leahy (@willleahy) March 25, 2015Won’t be watching #TopGear anymore now @JeremyClarkson @mrjamesmay & @RichardHammond won’t be on it together. Such a shame to end this way.
