The broadcaster has faced calls to drop the presenter from Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? amid the controversy.
as host of Millionaire, Lygo was asked about Clarkson’s future at Broadcasting Press Guild event in London on Tuesday.
He said : “We hire him as a consummate broadcaster of the most famous quiz on television, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?“So it’s not quite in our wheelhouse but I don’t know what he was thinking when he wrote that. It was awful.” Asked if ITV will keep Clarkson as host of the quiz show – a position he inherited from Chris Tarrant in 2018 – Lygo said: “Yes, at the moment we are.”he was “horrified to have caused so much hurt” following the backlash and that he would “be more careful in future”, but stopped short of apologising.“In a column I wrote about Meghan, I made a clumsy reference to a scene in Game of Thrones and this has gone down badly with a great many people.
