Phillip Schofield has described Jeremy Clarkson as "good value", but has admitted that he thinks he can go "too far".
The This Morning presenter spoke out about the 'fracas' involving the Top Gear presenter, whose future at the BBC is yet to be decided.
In an interview with Heat magazine, Schofield said: "He's good value in everything he does. There will be a time when his type of character is forced out of our society and everyone will end up in this middle ground of beige.
"Jeremy is a gregarious, larger-than-life bloke with… faults. He can be really funny and do clever things and I'm a massive fan of Top Gear but, like Katie Hopkins, he'll say something and I'll think, 'That's too far'.
"Some things you just don't say, and on occasion he appears to have done that. It's a shame and we don't know exactly what went on with the fracas, but I'm not surprised hundreds of thousands of people want him back on Top Gear."
A petition calling for Clarkson to be reinstated on Top Gear has reached 1 million signatures, while dates on the show's live tour have been postponed.
Clarkson recently made comments about staff at the BBC, calling them "f**king bastards". However, he later claimed that these remarks were made in jest.
