Jeremy Clarkson hasn't changed since being fired by the BBC.

The 61-year-old presenter was axed by the broadcaster in 2015 after he attacked a 'Top Gear' producer, but Jeremy insists the controversy hasn't prompted him to change his ways.

Asked if he's tempered his behaviour in recent years, he replied: "No. We’re all going to be fired. You are, I am, everybody is. You’re going to do something one day, and you won’t know that you’ve done it. And it will trigger the HR department and that’ll be you gone.

"All you can do is quietly get as much hay in the barn as you possibly can before you’re fired. I could have said something in any one of the interviews that I’ve done this morning which will cause the liberal left to go completely berserk. And then I’ll just have to go and sit on the farm and grow wheat."

Jeremy confessed that he actually loves his hate-figure status among liberals.

He told the Times Saturday Review: "I love it. It stems from school: ‘You can’t do this!’ I’m going to. Sometimes it’s delivered to wind them up. What I find about liberals and leftists is they just live in a state of almost constant rage and it’s just funny to make them flip."

The outspoken star also revealed he enjoys more creative freedom with Amazon than he did at the BBC.

Speaking about his 'Clarkson's Farm' series, he explained: "There’s absolutely no way in hell that would have made it on to the BBC.

"You aren’t allowed to say that badgers are in any way harmful on the BBC. Every single dairy farmer in the land will tell you that they are an awful animal. And I said that they are an awful animal and Amazon never batted an eyelid.

"There’s far less hand-wringing from Amazon than there was from certain people in the BBC."
