After being staked by paparazzi while on a working holiday in Sydney, "Top Gear" host Jeremy Clarkson is livid and, according to his representatives, will never be returning to Australia.
Clarkson and "Top Gear" co-host James May were both in Australia to promote a motor festival do some filming in Sydney. They were to have a private dinner at Sydney's exclusive Otto restaurant when paparazzi descended, prompting Clarkson to declare that one photographer "should be thrown into the river," according to an Australian news site.
After a messy verbal altercation which involved Clarkson confronting the cameraman, a representative of Clarkson told the group of photographers, "You're the reason we won't come back to Australia."
The 10-person dinner party reportedly arrived at the posh Woolloomoolloo wharf via water taxi, having crossed Sydney Harbor from their hotel.
Clarkson knew one of the photographers on the scene as top celebrity paparazzo Jamie Fawcett. After it was clear that the pack of paparazzi had made public what was meant to be a private event, Clarkson reportedly approached Fawcett nose-to-nose and said, "I write for The Sun, we work for the same company, why are you doing this?"
Fawcett replied that the company sacked him years ago.
Part of Clarkson's entourage included Phillipa Sage, a beautician with whom Clarkson has been seen with on previous occasions, causing public speculation that his relationship with his wife, who is a producer on "Top Gear" was ending.
