Springwatch star Chris Packham has launched an angry tirade against Jeremy Clarkson after the outspoken presenter admitted he was unimpressed by Sir David Attenborough’s latest Planet Earth series.

He wrote: ‘Not content with fantasies about throwing over members of the royal family, he now castigates the world’s greatest broadcaster and the man who has done more than anyone has or ever will to protect life on earth. . . What a huge c**kchafer’.

The explosive rant comes after Jeremy expressed his lack of enjoyment of 97-year-old Attenborough’s latest Planet Earth series, going so far as to say he ‘hates’ the show and calling for a change in its direction.

The Grand Tour presenter admitted that while he was fascinated by the new BBC series, he found the script ‘insane’.

Clarkson wrote in his column for The Sun: ‘Oh, the photography is brilliant. Enchanting even. But the words drive me crazye’.

The outspoken presenter then pointed out that despite once admiring Attenborough’s deep knowledge of animals, he now feels his mission to educate viewers about the effects of global warming has become a bit repetitive.

He wrote: “All we get now is, ‘Here’s a translucent fish with an orange stomach, and its future is threatened by climate change, and then it’s, ‘Here’s something with pointy teeth and soon it’s going to be wiped out. by global climate change. pre workout.”

“We already know. So please tell us about the animals in the future, and not about the nice weather.”

Shame: This isn’t the first time Clarkson has published a controversial column in The Sun, and earlier this year apologized for writing a nasty piece about Meghan Markle

While a third defiantly wrote: ‘No one should criticize David Attenborough, he is a legend’

This is not the first time Clarkson has published a controversial column in The Sun.

Earlier this year, Clarkson wrote that he dreamed of Meghan Markle being forced to parade “naked” through British cities, prompting a record 25,100 complaints to the Independent Press Standards Organization.

He later apologized and admitted that he had ‘put my foot in it’ and accepted that his language was ‘disgraceful’ and that he was ‘deeply sorry’. The Sun also apologised.

Meanwhile, the Duke of Sussex branded the article about his wife as ‘horrific, hurtful and cruel’ and questions were raised over whether Clarkson left his lucrative deal with ITV, where he hosts Who Wants To Be a Millionaire?

At the time, it was claimed that three female stars refused to work with Clarkson during filming for the quiz show, throwing filming into chaos.

While ITV’s official position was that ‘scheduling issues’ had delayed production of the highly anticipated special, The Mirror reported that chaos behind the scenes led to the decision.

Clarkson also criticized David Attenborough and Frozen Planet II last year, saying the show was no longer ‘fun’ and accusing the BBC of having a climate change agenda.
