It’s been a busy year for Jeremy Clarkson, whose meteoric rise and fall after the infamous BBC ‘fracas’ was followed by his signing with Amazon Prime for a new motoring show with a budget estimated to be worth £160 million.

Caitlyn Jenner topped search lists, surpassing even her step-daughter Kim Kardashian, when she revealed her transition from male to female on the cover of Vanity Fair and saw the world gather in support behind her.

The year 2015 proved to be a tumultuous one for One Direction, who also made it Yahoo’s top 10 most searched list when they lost a member (in a departure that riled some) and announced their hiatus a few months later.

A few more unlikely names have also made it into the top 10 terms searched by users in 2015.

Meanwhile, the top 10 obsessions included the Kardashians, Cecil the lion and (how could we ever forget) pig-gate.
