Former Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson will return to the BBC to host an episode of satirical news quiz Have I Got News For You next month.<\/p>\n
He will join team captains Ian Hislop and Paul Merton when the new series returns on 2 October.<\/p>\n
Clarkson pulled out of hosting the BBC One panel show in April, after being sacked from Top Gear after a “fracas”.<\/p>\n
He is set to front a new motoring show for Amazon next year, alongside co-hosts James May and Richard Hammond.<\/p>\n
Clarkson’s appearance on Have I Got News For You will be his first on the BBC since his departure from Top Gear.<\/p>\n
He was suspended in March after assaulting producer Oisin Tymon, and the BBC later confirmed his contract would not be renewed.<\/p>\n
At the time, BBC director-general Tony Hall said “a line has been crossed” and that “there cannot be one rule for one and one rule for another”.<\/p>\n
Clarkson signed up to present Have I Got News For You on Friday, and his appearance will mark the start of the show’s 50th series.<\/p>\n
When he pulled out of hosting in April, production company Hat Trick had suggested the presenter would appear on the show soon.<\/p>\n
A statement said: “On reflection, Jeremy Clarkson has decided not to host Have I Got News For You. We fully expect him to resume his hosting duties later in the year.”<\/p>\n
Pointless assistant host Richard Osman will be one of the two guests joining Clarkson for the opening episode.<\/p>\n
