Jeremy Clarkson is in danger of becoming the Lindsay Lohan of the automotive press these days, with reporters chasing him around, waiting for the Top Gear host to do or say something daft.

However, nothing of the sort happened when a group of news-thirsty reporters, photographers and cameramen caught up with him on Wednesday as he was leaving his house in London.

Clarkson seemed to be in a cheerful mood quipping, “I’m off to the Job Center. I’ve been suspended, haven’t I?”.

When someone asked him if his suspension from BBC was over a row about food, he replied, “No, no, no, no”, but apparently said “oh, yes” when asked if he had any regrets about the episode.

Clarkson ended the media frenzy replying to another question with , “It means I’m going to be able to get to the Chelsea match tonight”.
