More details have emerged about what led to Jeremy Clarkson's suspension from Top Gear.

It's reported he allegedly punched his producer after being told he couldn't order a steak at a hotel in North Yorkshire - and was offered a cold meat platter.

The British Prime Minister David Cameron's backed the star saying his kids will be heartbroken if Top Gear is taken off air and called the presenter a "great talent."

More than 600-thousand people have signed an online petition calling for him to be reinstated.
