TV presenter Jeremy Clarkson has revealed he is being sued after a local who “trespassed” on his Diddly Squat farm got her foot stuck in a hole.
The 62-year-old, who has taken up farming alongside Kaleb Cooper and has been documenting his experiences on Clarkson’s Farm on Prime Video, appeared on Ben and Georgie Ainslie’s Performance People podcast with Kaleb to discuss farm life and the upcoming season of the show.
Clarkson discussed the issues of trespassers on the farm – claiming that one woman ended up suing him after she got her foot stuck in a hole on the site.

The former Top Gear presenter began talking about signage rules in the farm, saying he had large signs that said “free acupuncture” and “bull in the field (no red trousers)”, but that he isn’t allowed to erect them due to insurance reasons.
“You can’t even put danger in the field because if a bull then attacks somebody and writes danger you are then accepting that you knew it was dangerous,” he said.

“Therefore you’re liable. So all you can write is bull in the field and let people make their own minds up.”
His talk about liability led him to discuss the incident with the woman.
Clarkson continued: “We had one that other day. That woman who put her croc into… You lift a gate post out when you open double gates so you can open both gates.

“We took it out and we were in and out all day long. And she was trespassing on the farm and somehow she put her foot into this hole and then bruised her leg.
“It was then ‘I’m suing you’. And there is nothing you can do.
“We were in and out and they just said I should have put the thing back in. I was like… f****g hell… so yeah, it’s a constant frustration.”
Jeremy had quite a few legal issues concerning his farm over the years.
Most recently, locals had an issue with his plans to transform a lambing shed into an eatery with parking for 70 cars.
Painting restorer Hamish Dewar called in lawyers in November to stop it from happening.
Hamish said at the time: “I don’t understand why he’s stirring up controversy and antagonism right on his doorstep.
“These plans mean even more traffic, noise and light pollution in an area of outstanding natural beauty.
“The village is precious to everyone living in it. We don’t want a Jeremy Clarkson theme park and don’t understand why he’d want one.”
