Jeremy Clarkson has words of advice for James Corden

The ‘Who Wants To Be A Millionaire’ presenter feels the ‘The Late Late Show’ host - who was recently banned from the Manhattan eatery Baltazar - comes across as a “disgusting, bad-tempered plagiarist” after Ricky Gervais accused the 44-year-old funnyman of robbing one of his jokes.

The 62-year-old broadcaster wrote in his Sunday Times’ newspaper column: “When there are hot and cold running assistants eager to indulge your every whim it’s very easy to become a monster.

“We can all become exasperated when things don’t go to plan on a night out. But why did James order an egg yolk omelette when it wasn’t on the menu? It’s a sign of c*** flu madness.”

Jeremy admitted to seeing diva behaviour like the 'Gavin and Stacey' star's when he filmed ‘Star In A Reasonably Priced Car’ feature on BBC Two’s 'Top Gear'- alongside Richard Hammond and James May, with whom he now presents ‘The Grand Tour’ on Amazon Prime Video.

He said: “We’d mark them for how rude and late they were and for how many people were in their entourage.

“And here’s the funny thing - if they’d just become famous because they’d won a dancing competition they were often rude and late.”

Jeremy ruled that James was “obviously so disconnected from the real world” that he needed to reset.

James addressed the drama on the CBS talk show - which he is leaving in summer next year - and admitted he was “ungracious” to the wait staff at the French bistro, prompting his banishment by the Soho restaurateur Keith McNally.

He said: “Because I didn’t shout or scream, I didn’t get up out of my seat, I didn’t call anyone names or use derogatory language, I’ve been walking around thinking that I haven’t done anything wrong.

“But the truth is I have made a rude, rude comment. And it was wrong. It was an unnecessary comment, it was ungracious to the server.”
