Jeremy Clarkson has admitted that he was recently breathalysed by police following a "small car crash".

However, Clarkson claims that the incident, which apparently happened while he was filming scenes for Top Gear, was not a result of him being under the influence.

Speaking on tonight's episode of Friday Night With Jonathan Ross, he said: "We were filming last week, I had a small car crash, the police said, 'We have to breathalyse you'.

"The cameras were on; I thought, 'What if... ' [but] I was completely fine."

The Top Gear presenter, who was cleared of a motoring charge in 2007, added that he is a cautious driver: "I'm a dawdler, I haven't been stopped for years."

Friday Night With Jonathan Ross airs tonight at 10.35pm on BBC One.
