Jeremy Clarkson's pub staff walk out after 'too many problems'
Jeremy Clarkson's pub staff walk out after 'too many problems' "We've lost two waitresses. We lost a pot washer. After one day" Jeremy suffers staffing issues in his pub in the latest series of Clarkson's Farm (Image: Prime Video ) Prime Video viewers have been getting an insight into the opening of Jeremy Clarkson's pub and it revealed staff walked out at the time of its launch. The season four finale of Clarkson's Farm on Prime Video exposed all the challenges during The Farmer's Dog's tumultuous opening over the August bank holiday of 2024. Jeremy found himself addressing the trouble in a candid conversation with farm manager Charlie Ireland. After speaking highly of his staff in earlier episodes, describing them as friendly and ever-smiling, he reluctantly revealed: "We've lost two waitresses. We lost a pot washer. After one day." To add further insult to injury, pressure mounted during a distressing meeting with senior team members Sue and Rachel at the pub, where they highlighted big problems, reports the Express. They told Jeremy: "Everyone is exhausted, even when we say go for a break, there is no staff room." Jeremy Clarkson did not like what he heard in a sit down with staff members Sue and Rachel (Image: Prime Video ) "They're weeing in a portaloo. It's not lovely conditions. They love you. They're excited about the British food," they tried to reassure Jeremy. Article continues below Jeremy stating firmly: "I have no problem with the staff," before adding, "Not one single problem with the staff. They're all brilliant. They are smiling. They are nice." However, Sue and Rachel indicated that further attention might be needed in the kitchen, which was on the cusp of crisis. "The kitchen is about to go pop, those chefs have had it.... It might be worth popping into the kitchen," they suggested. "I just popped in," he said, only to be met with the response: "Go back." For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter Jeremy, who was worn out from working non-stop on the farm while also preparing the pub for its opening, was deeply offended by this suggestion and retorted: "Do you want me to go and find a manager? Or go back into the kitchen?" "Or do you want me to mend the leak? Or do you want me to deal with the car parking issues? Or do you want me to deal with the neighbours? Do you want me to deal with the council? I've got plenty to be doing and I'll get on with it. Thank you." This outburst was the last straw for the pair, who shortly after quit. Undefeated Jeremy said: "We've worked out if we shut the lavatories and use plastic glasses instead of glass ones, we'll have enough water to serve food until six. "The next problem is Sue and Rachel, who brilliantly set up the pub, have now left. So it's a Sunday morning, I've managed to get a new front of house person who is the head of sixth form at the local village school. That's good." Article continues below

Nicole Scherzinger reveals major update on wedding to Scots rugby star and praises his 'patience'
Nicole Scherzinger, who is finishing her Broadway run, has detailed when she and Thom Evans will tie the knot Nicole Scherzinger has revealed a major wedding update as she prepares to tie the knot with Scots rugby star Thom Evans. The former lead singer of Pussycat Dolls is finishing her acclaimed run in the Broadway hit Sunset Boulevard. The musical's demanding run, which is nearly two years long, has delayed the couple's 'I do's,' but the pop sensation has now confirmed that the pair are set to say their vows in her native Hawaii "soon" after the musical wraps up. The curtain will fall for the final time at St James Theatre in New York on July 20. Fresh off her potential Tony Awards triumph for Best Actress on Sunday (June 8), Nicole praised Thom's "patience" since she has turned into a "hermit". "We're engaged to be married when I'm not working. Thank God he is so patient. "We'll get married back home in Hawaii where my family is from." She went on: "I live like a hermit, I try not to do much. I still take my meetings and do work that I have to do. "I just try to rest when I can. I'm not much of a sleeper. I've never been. But I've had to be disciplined to make sure I get six to eight hours, because my voice is my everything.. I leave my soul and my voice out there on the stage." The Don't Cha singer laughed off any insinuations that she poached the 40-year-old hunk during his time on UK reality TV, insisting: "It was on Celebrity X Factor, I'm not gross, okay. I met him on that and I saved him so he had to come back. We had actually auditioned them in the summer and we didn't meet face-to-face until the winter. "We've been together ever since." The songstress previously told Sunday Times Culture that the couple's nuptials will be conducted by her grandfather in Hawaii before a reception in Europe "The reception will be somewhere in Europe," she said. Beyond that, I haven't even thought about anything." Nicole added that following their marriage, the pair will keep their main base in Britain. "We travel a lot, and I like that," she explained. "I'm an adopted Brit." It comes after Thom admitted that he didn't think he had a chance with the songstress at first, but plucked up the courage to ask her out and the rest is history. The former Scottish international rugby union player credits his grandmother with helping him, as her motto was always 'if you don't ask, you don't get.' Nicole and Thom, who also played for Glasgow Warriors, have been together since meeting on the celebrity version of The X Factor when Nicole, 46, was a judge and Thom, 40, tried his hand at singing on the ITV reality show. The sportsman got down on one knee during a trip to Vila Nova de Gaia in Portugal in June 2023. Nicole shared a picture of the couple on a beach with her hands clasped around her mouth in shock as Thom held out a ring box. Thom had to retire from rugby at the age of 24 after suffering a serious neck injury playing for Scotland against Wales in Cardiff. Meanwhile, Nicole shot to fame as the lead singer of the Dolls in 2003, achieving massive hits, tours, and endorsements until their split in 2010. Despite some solo success, a planned 2019 reunion tour and third album were derailed by legal issues and internal disputes. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

How Love Island resort has become ‘criminals' paradise' with knife-clad Rolex rippers, rapes & ‘open war' between gangs
Last week a reality TV star was rushed to hospital after reporting being drugged and robbed at a party MAYHEM IN THE MED How Love Island resort has become 'criminals' paradise' with knife-clad Rolex rippers, rapes & 'open war' between gangs Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WITH its sun-kissed beaches and chic capital city just a short flight away from the UK, Majorca is one of the most idyllic Mediterranean holiday hotspots. A favourite of A-list stars and royalty alike, celebs including Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones, tennis star Rafael Nadal and King Juan Carlos of Spain all boast homes on the island. 11 Majorca is one of the most idyllic Mediterranean holiday hotspots Credit: Getty 11 The luxurious Love Island villa in the Majorcan countryside Credit: Splash 11 Police officers during an anti-drug operation in the neighbourhood of La Soledad Credit: Getty 11 Last week reality star Vanessa Mariposa was left vomiting and unable to walk after she was allegedly spiked on a night out in Majorca Credit: Instagram / @vanessa_mariposa While Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright have even named their baby daughter Palma in a touching nod to their love of its trendy capital. No wonder TV bosses chose the picturesque island as the perfect romantic back-drop for the Love Island villa. But as the new series of the dating show starts on Monday, we can reveal a darker underbelly to the island far removed from its reputation as the more laid-back luxury sister to the Balearic party capital Ibiza. Tourists have been victims of rape, daylight robbery and assault, while under pressure cops have already arrested 50 suspected pickpockets before the summer season has barely started. Last week a reality TV star was rushed to hospital after reporting being drugged and robbed at a party in a horrifying ordeal. Austrian model Vanessa Mariposa, 32, was left vomiting and unable to walk after she was allegedly spiked on a night out in Majorca. She said: "I was robbed - my Cartier bracelet was taken off my wrist and my SIM card was removed from my phone. 'I'm convinced the people who did this had far worse intentions... otherwise they wouldn't have drugged us or taken steps to stop us from calling for help.' The worrying attack comes as the local police union claimed the island is becoming a 'paradise for criminals' flaunting their shortage of personnel ahead of the holiday season, when Majorca is flooded with tourists. Cops claim their numbers have dropped in recent years and have called for back-up to help them take on the crooks targeting tourists. How Brit tourist hotpsots in Spain became rife with murders and butchery - V2 Luis Bernardo Fernandez, the provincial secretary for the Unified Association of Civil Guards (AUGC) in the Balearic Islands told The Sun a police shortage had direct implications for holidaymaker safety. He also said the rising number of illegal migrants reaching the islands meant already-stretched officers were being diverted away from other duties. And he described the increase in sex crimes, up more than five per cent last year, as 'extremely worrying'. Knife-wielding Rolex rippers 11 Thieves are arrested on the streets of Palma after robbing tourists Credit: Policia Nacional 11 Last year a Brit holidaymaker had his phone and a £100,000 diamond Rolex watch snatched off him while on a night out (pictured: a thief is arrested for robbery of a tourist's watch) Credit: Policia Nacional Official figures show more than 80,300 crimes in 2024 in the Balearic islands, 2.4 per cent more, while the national average fell by 0.3 per cent. Meanwhile a travel expert in Majorca is warning Brits to be on their guard as pickpocketing gangs are targeting visitors as they land at the airport and in supermarket car parks. Alex Smith has lived on the island for 20 years and runs popular blog Mallorca Under the Sun. She has warned of a crimewave sweeping the island as it gears up for summer. Alex says the thieves aren't just active in the popular party resorts of Magaluf and Palma Nova, but are also hitting quieter spots favoured by families and pensioners. On her YouTube channel Alex warned: 'We are only one week into the summer holiday season, pickpockets are running rife around the holiday resorts right now. Pickpockets are running rife around the holiday resorts right now Alex Smith, local blogger 'We had pickpockets in Puerto Pollensa last year but they have been getting out and about. 'We're talking Alcudia, Calabona, Playa de Palma, Peguera, Antratx, and Formentor, and we're even talking supermarket car parks as well, or within supermarkets.' In recent years so-called 'Rolex gangs' have been operating on the island, daringly using knives to slice the expensive time-pieces off victims' arms before making their getaway. Last year a Brit holidaymaker had his phone and a £100,000 diamond Rolex watch snatched off him while on a night out. And just last month the National Police Robbery Squad launched an investigation into the theft of a Richard Millie watch valued at £245,000 from a young man while he was walking in the centre of Palma. The brazen criminal approached the victim from behind, assaulted him and managed to steal his watch. In January two Chilean men were jailed for nine years and six years respectively for a series of robberies at luxury homes on the island. The two stole cash and valuables worth an estimated half a million Euros. Brits a target 11 Brit tourists are being targeted as soon as they arrive at the airport Credit: Getty 11 A robber caught on camera thieving from a tourist's hire car Credit: Policía Nacional But it isn't just the super-rich falling victim to the criminal gangs - Brits have reported having phones, cash and valuables stolen from their beach sunbeds as they sunbathe or take a dip in the sea. As well as thefts and burglaries there are even more serious crimes impacting tourists on the island. A British woman was robbed and raped in a horror attack on a beach last year. The 30-year-old told detectives she agreed to go there in the early hours of the morning with a man she met and ended up agreeing to have sex with him, before a second man appeared on the scene and forced himself on her. They then fled the beach near Palma with her belongings, according to the holidaymaker. Also last summer a British teenager was allegedly raped after being plied with alcohol in a bar on the island. And a 21-year-old British tourist claimed she was raped by a man who intercepted her as she returned to her holiday apartment in Port D'Antratx after a boozy night out with friends. Police later arrested a 40-year-old Senegalese man. The previous summer an 18-year-old British girl was allegedly gang-raped by eight men at a Magaluf hotel. Seven French men and one Swiss are still in prison awaiting trial. Last week police arrested a Senegalese man accused of stabbing a young Dutch man in the back in Playa de Palma after being kicked out of a bar. I was robbed - my Cartier bracelet was taken off my wrist and my SIM card was removed from my phone. I'm convinced the people who did this had far worse intentions Vanessa Mariposa The victim had to be hospitalised in Son Espases with a punctured lung. The suspect was charged with attempted murder. Police have already had their work cut out this year, despite the summer season only just getting underway. Nearly 50 pickpockets and petty thieves targeting tourist victims have been arrested in the past month by police in Majorca who have drafted in early reinforcements to tackle an expected summer crimewave. National Police on the holiday island announced last month that they had brought forward 'Operation Summer' by bringing in extra officers from the mainland specialising in 'prevent and rapid response' crimefighting to work along town hall-employed local police. A spokesman for the force in Majorca said: 'They will serve on the island for a month as a prelude to the incorporation of other units who will work in the municipality of Palma ahead of the arrival of reinforcements in Manacor in Majorca, Ibiza and Menorca.' A National Police spokesman said that the arrests included pickpockets and someone wanted for drug trafficking. They also seized cash, ID documents and high-end stolen items including designer sunglasses. But with the island proving to be a lucrative hunting ground for criminals, it is unlikely that they will go quietly. Violent clashes 11 Many of the Algerian immigrants appear to have arrived on the island in small boats. Pictured: a rescue operation after a boat carrying migrants arrived in Palma Credit: AFP Last year a group of locals turned vigilante to tackle a group of Algerians who were alleged to be bringing violent crime to the island. Police were called to the Palma neighbourhood of Son Gotleu after a street fight involving around 50 people broke out. The clashes were described by one local newspaper as an "open war between racial groups". A band of locals - an unlikely union made up of Spanish gypsies, Morrocans and Africans - took it into their own hands to confront a squad of Algerians, who are said to have installed a reign of terror and have turned the neighbourhood into a breeding ground for violent crimes. Videos emerged depicting the violence of the clashes between the two troops, as well as efforts by the police to restore order. Many of the Algerian immigrants appear to have arrived on the island in small boats, prompting the Balearics President Marga Prohens to blame the lack of troops from the State Security Forces and Corps (FFCCSE) for the growing problem. She said: "The lack of FFCCSE troops is linked to difficulties in controlling the worrying crime data in the Balearic Islands. "As a government, we can only share the concern that this brings to citizens, especially when migrants arriving on the shores of the Islands face them with defiant and obscene gestures.' Around 2,000 migrants have arrived already so far this year. We have had so much immigration and there really aren't enough staff to deal with it Luis Bernardo Fernandez Mr Fernandez told The Sun: 'On the subject of immigration we have been overwhelmed. 'Around 2,000 migrants have arrived already so far this year. We have had so much immigration and there really aren't enough staff to deal with it. 'Police are moved from Majorca to the other islands of Ibiza and Formentera to help out. 'In the summer reinforcements are usually brought in to boost police numbers but what is happening is that not everyone can come because of the high rental prices. 'In Ibiza there's nowhere to live. In Majorca it's impossible. "There is all this talk of summer operations and reinforcements but there's always going to be a problem when there's no extra incentives for Civil Guard officers to come here, which is something we've been fighting for for years. 'As things stand today, the Balearic Islands are a place of punishment for officers who get transferred here. 'Nobody wants to come to places like Majorca because of the high cost of living and the fact officers don't get any extra wages or housing allowance of any kind. 'There is an increase in the number of officers but the ideal number of Civil Guard officers for the Balearic Islands should be around 1,730 and at present we currently have only around 1,200 to 1,300. 'We would need around 500 more and 500 are not going to come in the summer. 'The lack of police officers is definitely a factor that goes towards explaining these very concerning crime figure increases.' 11 Palma Port is a popular area with joggers, cyclists and boaters Credit: Getty
