Clarkson's Top Gear co-host James May has come to his defence, tweeting:Jeremy Clarkson is not a racist. He is a monumental bellend and many other things, but not a racist. I wouldn't work with one. #ThatIsAll

Some Twitter users aren't convinced, however, calling for the world's most renowned motoring journalist to be fired:@guardian Jeremy Clarkson is a embarrassment for British TV, let alone the BBC. He should be fired once and for all.

I hope Jeremy Clarkson gets fired.... out of a rocket and hopefully towards the Sun where he can burn and melt in a very messy way.

Even Clarkson's most hated TV personality and journalist, Piers Morgan, tweeted the following:Ron Atkinson was fired by @ITV for using the N-word. Don't see how the BBC can avoid firing @JeremyClarkson if he did the same.

Digital forensic analysts who were hired by The Mirror confirmed that Clarkson did in fact mumble the word n****r during the scene: "My transcript is as follows - Eeny, meeny, miny, moe,, catch a n*** by his toe, when he squeals let him go, eeny, meeny, miny, moe."
As the investigation continues, one thing can't be denied. On first inspection, it does indeed sound like Clarkson uses the word, but on behalf of all Top Gear and Jeremy Clarkson fans, we sure as hell hope we're mistaken. We'll keep you updated.
