Jeremy Clarkson has said that the BBC will not allow him to return to Top Gear again, after he installed a poster of Prince William and Kate Middleton in his office.
The 62-year-old former frontman of the beloved BBC hit was suspended before his ultimate axing after he punched producer Oisin Tymon back in 2015.
While Clarkson used to host the show alongside Richard Hammond and James May, the new team features Paddy McGuinness, Chris Harris and Freddie Flintoff - and Jeremy alleges that there's no chance of him being invited back in the near future.

The Mirror reports that the father-of-three worked for the BBC on Top Gear from 1988 until 1999 - before returning again from 2002 to 2015. Recalling his time presenting for the broadcaster, he said: "I know someone who was told to take down his Union Jack because it was 'offensive', and I was asked to remove my poster of Mrs Thatcher because it was upsetting people who walked past.
"I did, and replaced it with a picture of Kate and Wills, which somehow made them even angrier," reports The Times.
Speaking about the recent controversy surrounding Gary Lineker - who was suspended from Match of the Day recently after comparing the Home Office's immigration policy to Nazi Germany - he said: “Remember, what everyone on every BBC platform fears more than anything is a Twitter backlash.
“Could I do Top Gear there now? Not a chance.”
The BBC declined to comment when contacted by The Mirror.
While it doesn't look like we'll see Jeremy on the BBC anytime soon, he still has his Amazon show Clarkson's Farm. Jeremy recently unveiled a new beer trailer at his Diddly Squat dwelling despite the planning row with the local council and residents raging on.
The TV presenter has invested in a new beer trailer to serve customers his very own Hawkstone lager in an apparent way to bring in more revenue at the Oxfordshire site. It comes after the former Top Gear host is challenging the council's decision to shut down a restaurant on the farm as well as not being granted planning permission to extend the car park.
Star of Clarkson's Farm, Kaleb Cooper showed off the new bar on Instagram, which is a grey converted horse trailer with pink roof. It is unclear if the presenter will need planning permission to set up the watering hole, but generally it is not needed for temporary structures that are used for less than 28 days a year.
