Jeremy Clarkson caused quite a stir during his appearance on The One Show recently, when he suggested that the people on strike in the UK should be rounded up and shot. Jezza is no stranger to controversial comments and not the type to keep his mouth shut around sensitive subjects – he once described Mexican food as ‘refried sick’. Though many people despise Jeremy Clarkson, many more people love him. He’s a true ‘marmite’ character.

Jeremy Clarkson’s The One Show outburst has probably done wonders for his new book’s publicity. Entitled Round the Bend, his new book has been described as Jeremy Clarkson at his brilliant best. It’s packed full of interesting facts and anecdotes about every topic you can imagine, including (not surprisingly) cars. This book will make a great stocking filler for any Jeremy Clarkson fan at just £8.
