The presenter could be set to front the popular BBC Two series for another three years, despite being involved in a string of controversial incidents over the past year.
A source shared: "All indications are the contract with BBC Worldwide will be renewed shortly and is likely to run for three years."
Reportedly receiving a huge fee of £1 million and a further seven-figure sum from BBC Worldwide for the job, there has been a wide number of calls for Jeremy to be sacked.
BBC director-general Lord Tony Hall told Radio Times magazine: "It's a programme loads of people love and it's important the BBC doesn't have just one voice."
Meanwhile, other stars of the show have started a campaign to help Steve Harley pay off a speeding fine.
Richard Hammond said on Sunday night's Top Gear: "Imagine if everybody did it - he would wake up tomorrow and think, 'I'm number one, where did that come from?' It would cheer him up."
