The former Top Gear presenter, who is more accustomed to finding his name in the headlines for some sort of controversy, was in the news this morning for reportedly assisting the group of men when winds blew them a mile off from the shore in Majorca.
Clarkson says he spotted the tourists while on his holiday yacht and came to their rescue.
He told The Sun: “They were all in their twenties and a mile out to sea. You’ll never paddle back in from there.
“I helped four of them. I rescued two French and two Germans.
“They burst out laughing when they saw who was rescuing them.”
After carrying out his good deed, he added on Twitter: “I have now saved all the people who were being swept out to sea by a very brisk wind and am going to the pub.”
Clarkson said his rescue proved him to be “a better and more constructive Foreign Secretary than Boris Johnson”. He added that he had apologised to the group for Brexit.
