I have a story about Jeremy Clarkson- he's a super nice guy!
My second cousin used to be a live-in nanny, and she lived with his family, taking care of his kids, for quite a few years. (She walked on stage with them on his 'This Is Your Life' episode years ago) When she moved on, she went to another family that Jeremy and his wife reccomended her to, and had just had a baby- I think it was 6 weeks old or something....
Anyway- she (or another friend/relative, I can't remember now) saw the grandfather playing with the baby and accidentally nearly drop her- he sort of caught her halfway down, just in time, but she had quite a jolt. A few days, or some time later, the baby fell extremely ill and was rushed to hospital, having had.... a brain hemorrhage (I think- I'm not sure of the exact details). The doctors at the hospital said that this was consistent with shaken baby syndrome, everybody jumped to conclusions, and my cousin, and the parents were arrested on suspicion of child abuse. Now, there is NO WAY that my cousin would ever harm anybody- she's just too nice.
Once Jeremy Clarkson heard about this, he paid all her legal costs... The charges were eventually dropped as there was no evidence against her luckily, but he did everything he could to help her...
So he's a nice guy in my books
Oh, and some of that may be a little inconsistent with the truth- it was a loooong time ago now I think and I can't remember all the details, but that's the general story
