He hosted the show from 1988 through 2015. In March 2015, the BBC decided not to renew his contract after he verbally and physically attacked a producer in a dispute over hotel food. Jeremy will not face any further investigation in regards to this event and will continue to tour with his co-hosts to complete their remaining scheduled live shows. He also writes weekly columns for The Sunday Times and The Sun.
