JEREMY Clarkson has come out guns blazing at the BBC after a senior employee compared him to serial rapist and paedophile Jimmy Savile.

The Top Gear host has instructed lawyers to demand a retraction from the corporation after the "defamatory" smear was spread the groundless claims and is seeking a full investigation into their identity.

The comments came after the presenter was suspended for allegedly punching BBC producer Oisin Tymon in what they are calling a "fracas".

The source said that politicians — including the Prime Minister, David Cameron — were turning a blind eye to Clarkson's bad behaviour, in the same way as people once did with Savile, the now notorious paedophile.

Since Savile's death, it has been acknowledged that he was a prolific child abuser and sexually assaulted young people.

Friends of Clarkson say he believes the source is connected to political figure, James Purnell, who is the BBC's head of strategy, but Purnell denies any involvement in the smear campaign.

Yesterday, the BBC's director-general Lord Hall, insisted that the BBC still needs to determine the facts about Clarkson's "fracas" before making any decisions about his future.

Meanwhile, it has emerged that Clarkson is set to return to the BBC next month despite his suspension, after being booked as a guest presenter on the new series of Have I Got News For You.

Despite these legal matters, Clarkson and his co-hosts Richard Hammond and James May, have a number of upcoming Top Gear Live arena shows and are determined not to disappoint fans who have paid up to £95 ($183) for a ticket.
