'Have his family SHOT' Top Gear producer at centre of Clarkson 'fracas' TROLLED on Twitter
THE Top Gear producer at the centre of the Jeremy Clarkson "fracas" has been TROLLED on Twitter with people claiming they want his "entire family shot".
Oisin Tymon is believed to have borne the brunt of the 54-year-old presenter's fury after he was unable to get a steak dinner at a hotel the BBC star was staying at.
In the aftermath of the bust-up, Mr Clarkson was suspended by the BBC and his future on the show is unclear pending the outcome of an investigation.
Fans of the BBC Two show have taken to social networking site Twitter to attack Mr Tymon with some describing him "Britain's most hated man".
One user wrote: "Lets face it Oisin Tymon has a face you want to punch. I'm surprised he only hit him once. Send him back to the One Show."
If a man called #OisinTymon didn't cook my dinner, I'd have him and his entire family shot!
Another posted: "If a man called #OisinTymon didn't cook my dinner, I'd have him and his entire family shot!"
And another added: "If they don't bring @JeremyClarksin back Ill be throwing punches Oisin Tymon.#getjezzaback".
More than 850,000 people have signed an online petition calling on the BBC to reinstate Mr Clarkson.
Last night it seemed the broadcaster, who has spent 27 years on Top Gear during two stints, was beginning to realise his time on the show was up.
He changed his Twitter bio from "a presenter on the BBC2 motoring show,Top Gear" to "probably a presenter on the BBC2 motoring show,Top Gear".
Mr Clarkson and Mr Tymon could come face-to-face at a BBC disciplinary hearing that is likely to be held next week.
Today the controversial presenter thanked the thousands of fans who had backed him after his suspension from Top Gear.
He told BBC News: "I am very grateful to everybody".
Sources told the Daily Express that the "fracas" took place after Mr Clarkson could not have steak for dinner at a hotel he was staying at.
The Top Gear presenter and his crew had a private dining room reserved for 8pm but did not arrive back at their country hotel until after 10pm.
By that time the restaurant chef had gone home and the only meal offered was a cheese platter, a meat platter and soup.
When Mr Clarkson was told steak was no longer available he erupted in fury and said: "So, there is no food".
It is understood producer Mr Tymon, 36, bore the brunt of his fury as Mr Clarkson seemingly looked to blame someone for not ensuring the chef stayed until he had arrived.
It has been claimed that the Top Gear presenter punched his producer but those reports are unconfirmed.
The "fracas" occurred on Simonstone Hall Hotel in Upper WensleyDale, North Yorkshire.
