Jeremy Clarkson shares painful injury he suffered at Diddly Squat Farm with fans – before girlfriend Lisa Hogan chimes in with stinging response
Jeremy Clarkson has told fans about a painful injury he sustained at Diddly Squat Farm – before girlfriend Lisa Hogan waded in with a pointed response.
The former Top Gear host, 65, has fronted Prime Video’s Clarkson’s Farm since its 2021 launch.
Viewers watch as Jeremy sets about running Diddly Squat Farm in the Cotswolds, with the help of Lisa and a trusted team.
Taking to Instagram on Tuesday (March 25), the star revealed an injury he suffered to his followers.
Jeremy posted a photo showing large blisters that had developed on two of his fingers.
He captioned the shot: ‘Cooking is dangerous.’
Meanwhile, partner Lisa quipped in her comment: ‘On the upside, dinner was delicious.’
Renowned chef Marco Pierre White also offered his sympathies, penning: ‘That’s nothing, Hope you’re ok @jeremyclarkson1 love Marco x.’
One follower wrote: ‘Nasty blister burn that.’
Another said: ‘You need to put your fingers under cold running water at least 30 mins to avoid further burning under the skin.’
A third exclaimed: ‘OUCH!!!’
Elsewhere, Jeremy got emotional as he broke his silence on the farming choir he helped to set up that auditioned for Britain’s Got Talent over the weekend.
He took to Instagram to reveal he’d tuned in to watch the choir perform on the ITV competition programme – and watched on as they were given the Golden Buzzer and sent through to the live shows.
The group sang a choral rendition of Elbow’s One Day Like This for judges Amanda Holden, KSI, Alesha Dixon and Simon Cowell on the show on Saturday night.
Jeremy, 65, told his fans he was ‘so happy’ as he heaped praised on the ‘fantastic’ choir, which is made up of farmers from around the UK.
The choir, which is now run by farmers Simon Gwilliam and Lizzy Dean, was originally set up by the former Top Gear presenter after searching for singing agricultural workers to appear in an advert for his Hawkstone beer range.
Speaking to his fans on social media, Jeremy explained: ‘I watched Britain’s Got Talent tonight for the first time because the Hawkstone choir were on.
‘They were just fantastic. These guys are all farmers and they work incredibly hard for really incredibly small rewards and to see them all on that stage with all that love in the room made my heart sing.’
Holding back his emotions, he admitted of watching the audition: ‘I actually welled up, and thank you Amanda Holden for pressing that Golden Buzzer.
‘It shows that I think people quite like farmers, and they were very, very good so well done, all of you. I’m a very happy man tonight because the choir is fab. That’s it.’
Fans flooded the comments section of Jeremy’s Instagram video to offer up their thoughts on the choir, as well as messages of support to the TV presenter for setting up the group in the first place.
One penned: ‘Over the last 5 years you have pulled back the veil of farming and brought it into the homes of millions… well done for bringing these farmers together.’
‘They earned that golden buzzer, they were fantastic and it was an emotional moment for all of us, thanks to you, Jeremy,’ a second chimed in.
A third wrote: ‘We love our British farmers. Feel the love guys – it’s real,’ as a fourth agreed: ‘Wouldn’t it be fantastic if the public got behind them for the win!’
Over the weekend, the Hawkstone choir were given the Golden Buzzer after their audition on the ITV show, sending them straight through to the live show round.
Tears flowed across the panel and among the audience — and in a moment that sealed their fate, Amanda, 55, reached for the coveted Golden Buzzer, sending the choir straight through to the live semi-finals.
