Steve Berry broke the silence on his feud with Jeremy Clarkson.
In a new interview withAl Arabiya News, the TV personality revealed that he and Jeremy "never got along" during their time together on the BBC show,Top Gear.
The 61-year-old journalist didn't go soft while describing his former costar, sayingJeremy's selfish qualities made him "unique."
Recalling his first meeting with the TV personality, Steve said, "The first shoot that I went along on was presented by a certain Mr. Jeremy Clarkson."
"And I'll never forget this, he turned up two hours late. I turned up half an hour early because I wanted to impress," he continued.
Steve added, "He turned up to hours late and the crew were fuming. Absolutely fuming. I thought. "Right, make a point, don't do that because you want the crew on your side."'
Later in the interview, the British motoring journalist said that Jeremy's on-screen demeanor is an accurate representation of who he is off-camera.
"You couldn't act that persona for all the years that he has," saidSteve. "He is kind of like that, and like I said, even though he and I never really got on together."
"The last time I met him in person, there was a bar, it was at a car show and there was an open bar and he said: "Berry, people know we don't like each other, I'll buy you a pint and we'll stand over there pretending we like each other,"' he added.
