Jeremy Clarkson is now so tubby that he can barely climb behind the wheels of the supercars he reviews.
The motormouth celeb’s love of Hawkstone ales means he has trouble squeezing his ever-expanding belly into the tiny cabins of flash motors.
The ex-Top Gear host, 64, who co-owns a brewery near his farm in the Cotswolds, was filmed making a pig’s ear of clambering into a Lamborghini.

The footage was uploaded to the beer firm’s Instagram account with the caption: “If you really love your Hawkstone there can be some mild side-effects.”

Jezza first tells the camera person to “f*** off” before adding: “This is one disadvantage of being a Hawkstone addict – getting into cars like this.” He is then seen huffing and puffing as he manoeuvres his gut behind the Italian motor’s steering wheel before firing up the monster’s engine. Clarkson also recently confessed to being too old and creaky to handle a 161mph supercar.

It comes after Jeremy was left in a state of shock after his young farming protege Kaleb Cooper was injured by machinery at Diddly Squat Farm. The nail-biting incident is featured in the trailer for the upcoming series of Clarkson’s Farm, which is set to return to screens next month.
Jeremy is joined in the trailer by his right-hand man Kaleb, 25, who has won over viewers with his appearances in the first two series. In one dramatic moment, Kaleb, seemingly harnessed to some equipment, takes a tumble in the field. The clip captures him falling towards a piece of machinery and emitting a sound as he hits the ground.

The TV host, who was operating a JCB at the time, is seen reacting to the accident with visible concern, exclaiming: “S***! ” He then rushes out to the field to stand by Kaleb, reports the Mirror. The footage shows Kaleb getting medical help on the ground. In typical Clarkson fashion, he quips: “We’ve gotta get rid of all health and safety equipment off the farm. It’s truly injuring people.”
