SPRINGWATCH presenter Chris Packham has said he has similarities with Jeremy Clarkson, despite the former Top Gear presenter mocking him on social media.

The 64-year-old naturalist has often been a target for jokes by Clarkson, who last year posted on X that he was only on the social media platform “because | know it'll wind up Packham’.

Speaking to the Telegraph, Packham said: “Everybody expects me to hate Jeremy, but we worked together and he was extraordinarily hospitable. And he’s like myself, he sometimes sees the need to antagonise a situation to promote a conversation.
