Pat Cummins exposes Jeremy Clarkson's wild act at 10am after revealing chat with host on his hit farm TV show
Pat Cummins has revealed details of his lively visit to Jeremy Clarkson's farm where he not only tested out the TV star's new business idea, but also watched him skol a beer at 10 in the monring.
Just a few days ahead of the World Test Championship final at Lord's, Clarkson welcomed the Australian cricket captain to his famous Oxfordshire farm, Diddly Squat, to film a segment for the show.
The former Top Gear presenter was blunt about his sporting preferences.
'I've never been a fan of cricket,' Clarkson remarked.
'I always had too much hay fever to know what was going on.'
Speaking to Nine's Today show, Cummins revealed that Clarkson had another reason to be interested in the sport.
'He grows willow trees, so he's making cricket bats,' said Cummins.
'I think he sees a fortune in the future where he's going to sell these willow trees across to India or Australia, so he talked commercial terms on some of these things rather than cricket.'
Cummins played an impromptu game of farmyard cricket where he tested out the bat, before having a round of beers at 10am in the morning.
The Aussie skipper even cracked out some of his Mountain Culture pale ales and offered them to Clarkson.
'Loved it,' said Cummins.
'He tried the Mountain Culture Status Quo. Loved it. I don't think he was just being polite, either. It was about 10 o'clock in the morning and he basically skolled it.'
Cummins says he was excited to be returning to the home of cricket on Wednesday against South Africa.
'I visited here (Lords) as a 13-year-old and we did the tour as a family,' said Cummins.
'I still remember that every time I come here.
'It's English, it's where cricket started and it does feel that extra little bit special.'
He wasn't sure which side would have the home ground advantage, however.
'I feel like any English fans who turn up will be going for South Africa,' he smiled.
'We do have a lot of Aussies here in London who I'm sure will be showing their faces. Who knows?'
Later this year, the skipper will return again to England to lead the Aussies in another Ashes campaign.

Radio king Kyle Sandilands reveals the savage gift he received from his wife Tegan as he celebrates his 54th birthday
Kyle Sandilands celebrated his 54th birthday on Tuesday and while he was lavished with gifts and praise, he received a somewhat savage birthday present from his wife Tegan. During The Kyle & Jackie O Show, the shock jock revealed that Tegan had bought him a knitted Balmain sweater that was a few sizes too small in order to motivate him to lose weight. 'I got a beautiful, let's call it, a goal weight jumper,' he told his co-host Jackie 'O' Henderson, 50. 'I'm not in it yet. I could get in it,' he said, adding that he looked like a 'cyclist' when he tried the jumper on. 'How much [weight] do you think you'd have to lose to get into that?' Jackie asked the radio personality. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. During The Kyle & Jackie O Show, the shock jock revealed that Tegan had bought him a knitted Balmain sweater that was a few sizes too small in order to motivate him to lose weight 'Only about 15kg,' he said as the studio erupted into laughter. 'Oh, that's doable,' Jackie sarcastically quipped. Last year, Kyle sensationally revealed his body weight live on The Kyle and Jackie O show. The radio king and his co-host were discussing Body Mass Index's (BMI), a measure of body fat based on height and weight. 'I weigh 126kg of meat,' he proudly proclaimed. A producer on The Kyle and Jackie 'O' Show then disclosed the 'healthy' BMI for a man of his height. 'For a 6ft1 man, you should weigh somewhere between 75 to 91kg,' she said. Despite the shock revelation, Kyle said at the time that he has no plans to start exercising. The radio king's weight has fluctuated over the years. He is pictured left at the 2005 Australian Idol finale, and right in 2017 at the ARIA Awards 'Then you've got to go to the gym and ugh, it's too much. No one give a s**t about all that. No one,' he exclaimed. 'Well actually that's not true, most people do,' he added. Last month Kyle made his big screen acting debut on the Gold Coast set of Australian action comedy film Zombie Plane. The radio shock jock, 53, brushed shoulders with international star and rapper Ice-T, 67, who was also spotted on the set of the upcoming flick. Filming for the day took place on a lavish yacht, where a model could be seen stretching as she prepared for filming.

So nice she wore it twice! Dina Broadhurst risks ANOTHER wardrobe malfunction as she slips into racy gown that shocked crowd at Justin Hemmes' charity gala
Dina Broadhurst risked a major wardrobe malfunction when she stepped out in an extremely risqué gown at the prestigious Silver Party in Sydney. The annual charity, which is hosted by the Sydney Children's Hospital Foundation, was once again held at Justin Hemmes' multimillion-dollar Vaucluse mansion. The 'nude artist', 48, wore a very revealing metallic Michael Lo Sordo gown to the event last month, featuring a deep plunging neckline that draped below her naval. Not content with the event photography, or perhaps the level of commotion the dress garnered, Dina gave it a second showing on Instagram this week. 'Another moment for this dress,' she captioned a carousel of behind-the-scenes selfies and short videos posted on Monday. In one clip, Broadhurst saunters towards a floor length mirror as if in slow motion. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Dina gave the daring ensemble a second showing on Instagram this week, as she encouraged her 364,000 Instagram followers to take a 'moment' to appreciate the look on Monday The satin frock features a halter neckline which leaves little to the imagination. Likely held in place with fashion tape, Dina appeared unconcerned with the fragility of her backless - and nearly frontless - ensemble as she took several sultry photos for her online following. In May, Dina invited the prominent Australian fashion designer to her lavish eastern suburbs abode prior to the event. In one photo, she pursed her lips for her iPhone camera while Lo Sordo made last minute adjustments to the halter neck. The socialite also cuddled up to fashion designer at the event. Dina, who usually shows off her natural complexion, opted for a full face of glamorous makeup at the charity event. The brunette let the shock dress do all the talking as she kept her accessories to a minimum, only popping on a pair of hoop earrings. The gown, which may well have been a custom creation, does not appear to be for sale on Michael Lo Sordo's website 'Another moment for this dress,' she captioned a carousel of behind-the-scenes selfies The Silver Party is one of Sydney's most prestigious charity galas, and was this year attended by some 300 influential figures from business, media, and entertainment. Since its inception in 2001, the Silver Party has raised over $10million in support of the state's most critically ill children. The money raised funds for vital equipment, research, and life-saving treatments across the Sydney Children's Hospitals Network. After spending the evening with some of the city's most prestigious people, Dina went on to enjoy Sunday morning with her son Leo for Mother's Day. She sat down for brunch with the 19-year-old, who she shared with musician ex-husband Nick Broadhurst, as they visited a local café. Dina's romantic life has come into question of late after she went on date with her millionaire fridge heir ex John Winning Jr following a fling with Belgian model Kengi Meert. The high-society beauty has been romantically linked to some of Sydney's richest and most powerful men, but Dina does not like to be tied down these days. Most recently, she was once again spotted cosying up to her ex John Jr., 35, known to his friends as Herman. The pair were spotted on a double date in Coogee with cricketer Michael Clarke and his girlfriend Arabella Sherborne, the exclusive details of which were revealed by Mail+. Their shock outing came after Dina was also romantically tied to her boy toy Kengi - a former Love Island star who is, at 23, less than half her age. The pair secretly linked up in Paris, with Dina doing her best to keep him hidden from the public eye. But after Daily Mail Australia revealed their secret tryst, she began sharing steamy images online from their five-star Parisian love nest. However, upon her return to Australia, Dina sought comfort in the arms of ex-boyfriend John Jr. once again, sparking speculation about whether or not they are back together.

EXCLUSIVE MAFS bride Rhi Disljenkovic slams cruel pregnancy speculation after Jamie Marinos was forced to shut down baby rumours: 'It actually hurts'
Married At First Sight bride Rhi Disljenkovic has hit back at hurtful pregnancy rumours after fans began questioning her appearance in recent photos. The 35-year-old fitness blogger says she was left feeling 'disappointed' and 'self-conscious' after seeing online chatter suggesting she might be expecting. 'Honestly, it's disappointing,' Rhi told Daily Mail Australia on Tuesday. 'I put on a bit of weight during and after the experiment and I was already feeling self-conscious about it. So when people start speculating or comment like that, it doesn't just roll off your back... it actually hurts.' The brunette, known for her bubbly personality, said it's frustrating that women are constantly expected to justify any physical changes. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'There's this weird expectation that women have to explain any changes to their body - and the second we're not shredded or photographed well, people jump to conclusions like pregnancy,' she said. 'You never know what someone's going through, and even if someone was pregnant, it's such a personal thing.' 'It's not gossip - it's hurtful, and it can affect someone's mental health,' she said. 'We've got to do better.' It comes just days after her co-star Jamie Marinos was forced to shut down similar rumours. Jamie, 29, was photographed at a recent event in Melbourne wearing a form-fitting outfit, which prompted online speculation about a supposed baby bump. She later took to Instagram to address the rumours, stating firmly that she was not pregnant and reminding fans that certain angles and lighting can be misleading. Marinos sparked baby rumours over the weekend after appearing in a gallery of snaps from Voir Vodka dinner at Bar Bambi in Melbourne, which she attended alongside her co-stars Eliot Donovan and Teejay Halkias. The images, shared by @mafsgossip, included a shot of Jamie posing with Eliot - who she has been romantically linked to in recent months - wearing a sleek all-black outfit which seemed to hint at a small bump. 'Is it me or does Jaime look like she's got a bump?' one fan commented, while another added, 'Just don't know if it's a baby bump or photoshopped to look like it. But 100% it's a bump!' But Jamie wasted no time shutting down the speculation, jumping into the comments to address the chatter directly. 'I'm going to blame the lighting on that, because it does and I can assure you there's no bump,' she wrote, adding a laughing emoji. In another cheeky comment, the blonde beauty joked, 'Why am I excited now for a non-existent baby?' before confirming the 'countless' vodkas she consumed that night were proof enough she wasn't expecting. The MAFS star later doubled down, taking to her Instagram Stories to share the same photo and write: 'What in the optical illusion is this? I look like I have a baby bump.' She added: 'How funny would it be if at an event for an alcohol brand I announce a pregnancy, except it wouldn't be funny because I'd be pissed the f**k off that I'm sober.' Since the show wrapped in April, Jamie and Eliot have emerged as two of the most-followed cast members, regularly sparking dating rumours with their flirty comments, TikTok videos and joint appearances at events. Despite their undeniable chemistry, Jamie previously clarified their relationship during a Q&A with fans, insisting: 'We are really good friends. 'He's been such a great support system, always makes me laugh and I'm super grateful to have him around.' She added: 'We are both single, and focusing on ourselves at the moment – but who knows what the future holds.' Speaking to Daily Mail Australia, Jamie and Eliot echoed that sentiment, saying they've struck up an 'unlikely friendship' post-show and are simply 'taking each day as it comes'. The pair first sparked romance rumours after attending Daily Mail Australia's reunion party in April. 'Jamie is an absolute babe and I would be very lucky to be in a romantic relationship with her... but at this point in time, we are just close friends,' he told 9Entertainment. 'I'm not in any kind of position to be navigating a romantic relationship but I wouldn't rule anything out. I am absolutely loving going on this journey with Jamie by my side.' Eliot spoke highly of his relationship with Jamie and said their friendship had grown since meeting during filming last year.
