Jeremy Clarkson will face no further police action over his attack on a Top Gear producer at a hotel, North Yorkshire Police said today.
Former Top Gear presenter Quentin Willson says Jeremy Clarkson "is a very difficult bloke to work with".
Speaking to BBC Radio 4's PM programme he said: "Jeremy is a massive global talent.
"He's a very difficult bloke to work with, but there is this obvious truth, isn't there, that success always interferes with talent.
"If you've got a global audience of 350 million people hanging on your every word, then that makes you detached from your sources. It's so sad that this is his requiem, if you like."
He added: "This was, whichever way you look at it, unacceptable behaviour. It's not right to whack someone on your team because you haven't had your dinner."
The BBC has given Jeremy Clarkson the all-clear to present Have I Got News For You, despite axing him from Top Gear over a recent "fracas".
Chris Evans has said rumours he will be taking over Top Gear are "absolutely nonsense."
Supporters of the suspended Top Gear presenter presented a petition signed by hundreds of thousands of people to the BBC today.
