Jeremy Clarkson blasts the 'fun police' as his 'expensive' (and very explicit) beer advert is BANNED from screens
In his 'most expensive, biggest' advert yet, Jeremy hoped it would encourage people to buy his Diddly Squat Farm's Hawkstone lager.
The 65-year-old Top Gear star hired a 34-strong choir of British farmers to sing their own rendition of the classic opera tune - with a twist.
Jeremy and Clarkson's Farm star Kaleb Cooper joined the choir in singing 'F*** me it's good', instead of the classic version.
It finishes with Jeremy taking a sip of his pint before saying: 'Hawkstone. It is f****** good'.
But Jeremy's version of the song has been banned from TV and radio because it being 'not compliant' with broadcasting regulations.
Jeremy describes his advert 'the best thing I've ever made, apart from a shepherd's pie in 1988'.
He intended it to be a powerful celebration of British farming, the backbone of his best-selling lager and cider brand, Hawkstone.
Speaking from his Diddly Squat Farm, Jeremy confessed: 'It's a cock-up, as usual. I've made my biggest, most heartfelt, and frankly, most expensive advert ever, and it's been banned.
'The fun police in their beige offices have decided that the public can't be trusted to watch it.
'It's been kicked off the telly, silenced on the radio, and barred from the cinema. Apparently, it's 'not compliant'. With what, I have no idea. Common sense?
'If the regulators won't let the people see it, then perhaps the newspapers will. I'm asking every editor in the country: will you publish my banned ad?'
Clarkson's Farm fans make desperate plea to Jeremy and show bosses for next series amid flurry of scathing complaints
Since its launch in 2021, Clarkson's Farm has received rave reviews, from critics and audiences alike.
The season is orientated around Jeremy's aspiration to become a pub landlord, and the creation of his pub, The Farmer's Dog
It has given audiences a glimpse of the complexities of life on a farm- including the time pressure that goes into ploughing fields and sowing seeds, the sensitivity of crops and the farmer's connection to the weather cycle and nature.
Despite the chaos, the show consistently showcases the beauty of the verdant Cotswolds and the simple, humorous joys of country life.
However, many ruled that the most recent season of the show took a more pessimistic tone.
Season 4 of Clarkson's Farm was released in three instalments, with the final two episodes of the season arriving on Prime Video on June 6th 2025.
The season is orientated around Jeremy's aspiration to become a pub landlord, and the creation of his pub, The Farmer's Dog.
Fans suggested that the latest episodes are devoid of the first season's country charm and were even too stressful to enjoy.
On Reddit, a discussion emerged, sparked by one fan, who reviewed the newest season, saying 'I grew up on a farm. I now keep ducks. I understand mud, mess, and malfunction - I practically thrive in it. But even I found season 4 more existential crisis than entertaining chaos.'
'This season was too much, it wasn't the fun farming show with Jezza doing stupid and smart at the same time. It was too stressful to be enjoyable, the last 2 episodes especially,' said another.
'Lacking in genuine laughs and feel good moments...' echoed a third.

First Royal Mint coin to celebrate Anne goes on sale for her 75th birthday
The first ever official UK coin to honour the Princess Royal has been unveiled in celebration of Anne's 75th birthday and her 'remarkable lifetime of service'. The Royal Mint's commemorative £5 piece, dubbed its 'Anne-iversary coin', was personally approved by the princess. It features a portrait of the King's sister wearing the Aquamarine Pineflower Tiara with her hair swept up in her signature bouffant style. The design is framed with the inscription 'The Princess Royal – Celebrating 75 Years – Duty and Devotion' in tribute to Anne's steadfast royal duty over the decades. Anne, often viewed as the hardest working member of the royal family, turns 75 on August 15, but so far has insisted her milestone should only be publicly marked by a charities forum she hosted at Buckingham Palace in June. Rebecca Morgan, director of commemorative coin at the Royal Mint, said: 'For the first time in British numismatic history, we are honoured to celebrate the Princess Royal on an official UK coin. 'Her Royal Highness's unwavering commitment to public service, charitable work, and support of His Majesty's armed forces over seven and a half decades makes her truly deserving of this tribute.' To the right of the princess's portrait is a depiction of her official coat of arms, and on the obverse is the King, who gave the creation its final sign-off in honour of his sister. Thomas T Docherty, who designed the coin, said it reflected the princess's 'strength of character' and 'understated elegance'. The portrait of Anne's head is based on a photograph of the princess taken by John Swannell, a Royal Photographic Society fellow, and shows her staring directly at the camera. Mr Docherty said: 'I wanted to capture Her Royal Highness's remarkable legacy and dedication to public service. 'The portrait reflects her strength of character and unwavering commitment to duty.' He added: 'It was really by observing Princess Anne and looking at the role she plays within not only her family but the nation and the Commonwealth that formed inspiration for the design of the coin. 'She has, I would say, a kind of understated elegance and strength.' Mr Docherty continued: 'Being Scottish, I admire the Princess Royal's dedication to Scottish organisations and communities, and I hope this coin serves as a fitting tribute.' The art deco-style diamond and aquamarine Cartier tiara Anne is wearing was a wedding anniversary present from King George VI to his wife Queen Elizabeth, later the Queen Mother, who went on to give it as a wedding gift to her granddaughter Anne in 1973. The princess is also wearing an aquamarine pendant and matching earrings, both believed to have been made using stones from the tiara when Anne had it remodelled in the 1990s. Anne, the only daughter of the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, is known for her no fuss approach. She has survived a kidnapping attempt, competed in the Olympics and spent decades supporting her mother before becoming a vital part of the King's slimmed-down working monarchy. The princess carried out nearly 400 official engagements in 2024 – the most of any member of the royal family – despite it being the year she was rushed to intensive care, spending five nights in hospital after she was believed to have been struck by a horse. The commemorative coin is available to purchase from the Royal Mint's website on July 18, costing £17.50 for the brilliant uncirculated edition. Other versions of the £5 coin are also available, with a silver proof priced at £110, a silver proof piedfort costing £208, and gold proof for £4,110. The coin is also being sold as part of three sets which also feature either a single George VI threepence or florin or multiple George VI coins from 1950, the year the princess was born, with the prices ranging from £25 to £4,500.

Jessie J 'set for huge TV comeback' following successful mastectomy amid breast cancer diagnosis
Jessie J is reportedly planning to mark her TV comeback with a special appearance on Strictly Come Dancing this September following her mastectomy. The singer, 37, had surgery two weeks ago and confirmed to her fans that 'no cancer spread', after revealing she had been diagnosed with breast cancer in June. According to The Sun, BBC bosses believe she will kick off the new series perfectly as they welcome her return. A source said: 'Jessie is putting her health and recovery first but is already excited for getting back on stage. 'She's been booked for a TV comeback on Strictly in September and bosses can't wait to have her on the show. 'Right now she's feeling very grateful for life and all the opportunities coming her way.' MailOnline has contacted Strictly and Jessie J's representatives for comment. As well as the reported Strictly appearance, Jessie is also booked to perform at Radio 2 In The Park in September in Chelmsford. Earlier this month, Jessie shared an adorable clip of her two-year-old son Sky the night before the operation. In the sweet clip, Jessie is heard encouraging her boy to say 'Mummy's going to be okay' as she prepared for the surgery to remove her breast. In the caption, she penned: 'AND.. I AM OK. Results = I have NO cancer spread. Happy tears are real', followed by several crying emojis. The Price Tag hitmaker continued: 'Thank YOU for the prayers, the love, the well wishes, the joy and all the positive energy. 'This video is from the night before my surgery. We called it baby boy. You are my biggest ray of light and with you in my life, the darkness will never win. 'Lots of healing to go and one more surgery to make these cousins look more like sisters, but for now it's gratitude time and I am changing my name to The LopJess monster.' It comes after Jessie revealed she wished she said goodbye to her breast before undergoing a mastectomy. In an update last month, she said that she is experiencing some 'delayed sadness' and felt 'disappointed' that she didn't say goodbye. Taking to her Instagram stories, she shared a candid post with fans, bravely opening up about her feelings. The performer admitted that she went into 'survival mode' when she first found out about her diagnosis and is now letting herself be angry and sad. In her post, Jessie wrote: '2 weeks post surgery. Had my drain out 2 nights ago. She said breathe in and take a hard breathe out. She whipped that thang out so quick. Woii oii. Weirdest feeling. But so nice to have it out after 12 days. 'Now it's just me and my wonky boobs trying to figure out how to dress until I match them up. The left one is looking at me like "you ok babe?"' She continued: 'Also my experience was when I was diagnosed I went into survival mode. 'There was so much going on with appointments and in my mind esp with a toddler I had just moved and was about to start this campaign after 8 years away. Mad. In the caption, she penned: 'AND.. I AM OK. Results = I have NO cancer spread. Happy tears are real', followed by several crying emojis 'I didn't really have a lot of time to process what was happening or what was going to happen. So I'm currently experiencing some delayed sadness and frustration by having time to process what IS happening. Jessie added: 'A little disappointed in myself I didn't say goodbye to my old boob enough. Sounds silly but that's where I'm at. Again that's my journey. I'm sure others feel different. 'But for me I didn't think beyond the surgery. I was just being strong. Well now I'm here and letting myself be angry and sad and all the things. Just for a few days. 'Then I will sew some padding in a bra to even them out order some t-shirts and crack tf on'.
