Jeremy Clarkson has been left fuming after his show was forced to halt filming of the fifth series of Clarkson's Farm
Jeremy Clarkson has joined the chorus of disgruntled locals in the Cotswolds, expressing his frustration at US Vice President JD Vance's holiday.
‌
The 65-year-old motoring journalist revealed that the VP's visit has disrupted the filming of the fifth series of Clarkson's Farm, as the secret service has taken over the tranquil English countryside and imposed a no-fly zone. The Vice President's visit to the Oxfordshire town has already sparked backlash, with residents grumbling about the disturbance and left-wing protestors descending on the area.
‌
Former Top Gear presenter explained that the one-mile no-fly zone around Vance's rented Cotswolds manor house is hindering his camera crew from capturing essential footage for his Amazon Prime programme. The no-fly zone has been established for security purposes while the Republican politician resides in the hamlet of Dean for the remainder of August.
‌
On Tuesday (August 12), Jeremy took to Instagram to share a map of the no-fly zone, which encompasses his own farm, Curdle Hill Farm - also known as Diddly Squat Farm, a name he chose due to his assertion that it's how much profit he expects to make from it.
The father-of-three captioned the image of the map: "The JD Vance no-fly zone. We are the pin. So on the downside, no drone shots today. On the upside, no annoying light aircraft," reports the Express.
However, the TV star isn't the only one irked by JD's arrival in Chipping Norton. Kaleb Cooper, Clarkson's right-hand man, voiced his annoyance that the heightened security measures have thrown a spanner in the works of his farming duties.
The farmhand - who has his own land and has developed his own successful career since the show - said his wheat transportation was held up by the convoy as it passed through the neighbourhood.
‌
Slamming The Vice President for his conspicuous presence in the area, he commented: "My wheat got wet in the trailer last night as the convo stopped me in the rain in Chippy.
"I could easily have went on my way and it in the shed without getting in the way. If he had just drove around in a VW Polo nobody would know who he was."
‌
The enormous property the American politician is staying has been revealed to be Dean Manor, a lavish house which was built in 1702 in the reign of Queen Anne. The property is located in a tiny hamlet in Oxfordshire which houses just 12 properties.
It boasts 15ft tall stone walls and features immaculately manicured six-acre gardens. It is understood the property was picked out by US secret service personnel because of its remote secure location and is believed to cost as much as £8,000 a week to rent.
