article: Jeremy Clarkson is set to appear on the BBC again just weeks after he was sacked from Top Gear for punching a producer. The TV host will appear as a guest presenter on satirical panel show Have I Got News For You later this month. It is believed he was booked to appear on the comedy programme before he was dropped from Top Gear after a 'fracas' with producer Oisin Tymon, one of the show's producers, over a steak dinner. Scroll down for video . Jeremy Clarkson hosting a previous edition of Have I Got News For You. He is set to appear on the BBC show on April 25, just one month after being sacked from Top Gear . Clarkson was dropped from the motoring show by the BBC on March 25, but will be the guest presenter on Have I Got News For You on April 25, with filming taking place the day before. It is understood that bosses at the corporation took weeks to consider if he should be allowed to host the show before deciding saying although his Top Gear contract was not renewed, he isn't banned from appearing on the BBC. Clarkson is one of the quiz show's most frequent guest hosts, having fronted it on 11 occasions and also appearing as a panellist once alongside quiz captains Paul Merton and Ian Hislop. Last month, Jimmy Mulville from production company Hat Trick, which makes Have I Got News For You, confirmed that the former Top Gear host would appear on the show, calling him a 'fantastic broadcaster'. Clarkson was sacked from Top Gear after punching producer Oisin Tymon, pictured, after a row over a steak dinner . He told a meeting of the Broadcasting Press Guild: 'As far as I'm concerned he is hosting Have I Got News For You, the BBC has not told me what to do yet and it will be an interesting conversation. He also joked: 'Maybe we will get the producer on so he can hit Jeremy Clarkson live on television.' The show will also mark the first time that Clarkson has appeared on the BBC since the last edition of Top Gear was screened on March 8. Yesterday, it was revealed that the 54-year-old would not face prosecution over the attack, which led to his sacking from the show. Police had opened an investigation into the incident, which took place at a hotel in Hawes, North Yorkshire last month after Clarkson had been filming Top Gear in the area. However, after the victim Mr Tymon said that he did not want to press charges, North Yorkshire Police has now decided to drop the probe without taking action against Clarkson. The incident, described as a 'fracas' by BBC officials, occurred when Clarkson discovered that the hotel where he was staying could not serve him a hot meal following a day's filming. An official report found that the 54-year-old presenter punched Mr Tymon in the mouth before being dragged away by a witness, causing the producer to go to A&E for emergency treatment. He also verbally abused him for 20 minutes, blaming Mr Tymon for failing to ensure that he could get a steak at the hotel. The BBC has said that Top Gear is likely to return and continue in some form, but co-presenters James May and Richard Hammond are not expected to return . It is not yet known what Mr Clarkson's next move will be although he has been linked with a switch to another channel. With the decision not to press charges against him, the TV presenter is now free to chase new deals, which could possibly see him travel abroad to the US, where he would have faced difficulty gaining a visa if he had been convicted. However, he is set to take part in a series of Top Gear Live shows alongside co-presenters Richard Hammond and James May, although the performances will be rebranded. The BBC has said that Top Gear is likely to continue in some form, but Mr Hammond and Mr May are not expected to return. The star had received widespread public support - including from his friend Prime Minister David Cameron - in the aftermath of the fracas, and one million people signed a petition calling for the BBC to reinstate him. But BBC director-general Tony Hall said 'a line has been crossed' and 'there cannot be one rule for one and one rule for another'. Police are still investigating threats to kill Mr Hall, reportedly linked to his decision to axe Clarkson. Mr Hall, former chief executive of the Royal Opera House, took over the £450,000 BBC post in April 2013 to replace George Entwistle, who left the corporation in the wake of the Jimmy Savile sex abuse scandal.
