It's understood Jeremy Clarkson's contract with the BBC could run out before an investigation into his bahviour is complete.
The Top Gear presenter's been suspended, and the show cancelled for this series, amid claims he punched a producer in a row over food.
As Jeremy Clarkson left his home in London today, he laughed off his latest controversy telling reporters he was "just off to the job centre".
This morning, The Sun newspaper, which Clarkson writes for, quoted him as saying that he was "off for a pint, waiting for all this to blow over".
When asked what he knew about the "fracas", Clarkson's co-host James May said he was "blind drunk" at the time.
At last count, more than 400,000 people had signed a petition in support of the controversial TV personality.
