Clarkson is said to have reached an agreement with the BBC so the now renamed live show can go ahead as planned in May. The series of live shows, which are co-owned by BBC Worldwide will start in Belfast on 22 May and not feature any ‘Top Gear’ branding or The Stig.

According to the Sunday People, the BBC feared Clarkson would use the shows to vent his anger against his former employer. A source told the newspaper, “Jeremy, James and Richard agreed to the terms put to them to let the shows go ahead in a good spirit. They were desperate not to let the fans down.”

“Part of the deal was that neither the BBC nor the Top Gear brand would be brought into disrepute. Effectively this meant gagging Jeremy from mentioning what had gone on. But he agreed to comply.”
