We know some celebrities don’t like having their photos taken, but a certain TV favourite had a wee bit of an overreaction when a young boy tried to snap a picture of him. Jeremy Clarkson was dozing on the beach in Barbados when 12-year-old Top Gear fan Tom Dickman took a photo. The next day, Jeremy saw Tom again on the beach and, according to onlookers, confronted him, shouting “Are you the little *******er that took my picture? If you do that again, or it goes on the internet, I will hunt you down and rip your *******ing head off.” Tom ran to his dad Chris in tears. “I saw it all happen,” says Chris. “Tom was a huge fan of Top Gear and Clarkson was his hero. He watched the show every week and even asked me to buy him the DVDs for Christmas and birthdays. He was so proud when he came back the day before to show me his little digital camera and say, 'I've just taken a picture of Jeremy Clarkson'. I was made up for him – he only took the picture to show his mates at school that he'd really seen his hero on holiday. But Clarkson's reaction was out of order. He utterly humiliated and scared my son. I was furious, like any father would be. I went over and told him, 'Clarkson, if you've got a problem with my son, take it up with me'. But he refused to apologise and just shuffled off.” The family have since complained about Jeremy to the BBC, but his spokesman will only say “Mr Clarkson was on a private holiday.” Oh dear…
