The 58-year-old presenter - who worked for the broadcaster until he was sacked from 'Top Gear' in 2015 - accused the corporation with putting political correctness ahead of making fun or interesting programmes fir "everybody" to enjoy.

He told the Radio Times magazine: "If I ran the BBC, it would be better...I'd make programmes for everybody, not just seven people in Islington.

"It's become so up itself, suffocating the life out of everything with its nonsense need to be politically correct.

"If they'd let everyone relax, and made a show that's entertaining or interesting or informative or any of the things that the BBC is supposed to be, then we'd be having a different debate about the future of television."

However, the 'Grand Tour' star insisted he has "very happy" memories of his time with the BBC but doesn't want to see it ruined.

He added: "I had a very happy time at the BBC and I care very much about it.

I'd be sad if it got knackered by a few unwise Corbynites."

Jeremy's comments came a few days after he claimed there was no way he and his co-presenters James May and Richard Hammond would be hired to front another show together on the BBC because the broadcaster are keen to push women into key hosting roles.

He said: "We're redundant. You couldn't possibly get an all-male show across unless it was called My Actual Penis.

"If the programme was called 'Me And My Penis' then that would probably have to be hosted by men.

"But since there isn't a programme called 'Me And My Penis' it's going to be all women."
