Reports suggest that Jeremy Clarkson is displeased with JD Vance’s trip to the Cotswolds.
The Vice President of the United States is currently paying a visit to the Cotswolds
Jeremy Clarkson has revealed how JD Vance disrupted the filming of Clarkson’s Farm in ‘no fly zone’ admission.
Premiering back in 2021 to huge success, Clarkson’s Farm follows the former Top Gear presenter’s ongoing project of running his Diddly Squat Farm in the Cotswolds.
Airing on Amazon Prime Video, the fourth season dropped earlier in the year to the delight of Jeremy’s legion of fans.
Viewers have loved seeing Jeremy’s relationship develop with 26-year-old farmer Kaleb Cooper, who mentors him at every step of the journey in spite of their constant squabbles.
With a fifth season already announced, filming of the programme has been disrupted by the US Vice President JD Vance’s controversial Cotswolds visit.
Joined by his wife Usha and their children Ewan, Vivek and Mirabel, they are currently taking a break in the hamlet of Dean.
Due to Vance’s trip being near the 1,000-acre Diddly Squat Farm, increased security measures in the area are currently in place.
On top of having roadblocks and a stronger police presence in place, a no-fly zone has also been activated over the surrounding area.
Due to the latter measure, producers of the Amazon Prime Video series are not able to film drone shots for the fifth season.
Taking to Instagram with an image of the no fly zone, Jeremy said: “The JD Vance no fly zone. We are the pin. So on the downside, no drone shots today. On the upside, no annoying light aircraft.”
Replying in the comments section of Jeremy’s post was Kaleb, who shared how he’s been affected by Vance’s trip.
“My wheat got wet in the trailer last night as the convoy stopped me in the rain in chippy. I could have easily went on my way and got it in the shed without getting in the way. He just drove around in a VW polo nobody would know who he was,” he wrote.
According to reports, Vance and his family are renting a lavish home that boasts a tennis court, gym, a Georgian orangery, rose garden and two cellars.
The trip arrives at a challenging time for Jeremy, who recently shared his fears that ‘this year’s harvest will be catastrophic’.
He explained on X: “That should be a worry for anyone who eats food. If a disaster on this scale had befallen any other industry, there would be a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth.”
Jeremy’s update last week came days after a case of bovine tuberculosis was confirmed at his Diddly Squat Farm.
“Bad news from Diddly Squat. We’ve gone down with TB. Everyone here is absolutely devastated. The offending animal is pregnant with twins. I should clear this up really. It’s Bovine TB that we have. It doesn’t affect people, just our poor cows,” he noted.
The disease, which is caused by Mycobacterium bovis, requires the immediate slaughter of infected animals to prevent its spread. Government data shows that more than 21,000 cattle were culled in England between April 2024 and March 2025 due to TB incidents.
