George Michael has publicly called out television presenter Jeremy Clarkson after he made a derogatory comment about him during an episode of Top Gear. 

The controversial Top Gear host was reviewing a Jaguar XKR-S and remarked, "‘It’s very fast and very, very loud. And then in the corners it will get its tail out more readily than George Michael."

The 'Faith' singer, known for his straight talking and entertaining use of social media sites, must have caught wind of the offending sentence as he took to his Twitter account today (July 19) and wrote:

"Good grief Mr.Clarkson, I wasn't implying your towering heterosexuality was in question. I had no desire to insult you! But I do now, you pig-ugly homophobic twat!!!!!"
