Jeremy Clarkson revealed that he’s getting sued after a woman ‘put her foot into a hole’ on his precious Diddly Squat Farm.
The 62-year-old broadcaster opened his Diddly Sqaut restaurant, in Chipping Norton Road, Chadlington, in July.
His farm has seen a major boost in popularity over the past couple of years, with special thanks to the Amazon Studios series Clarkson’s Farm, which premiered last year June.
The success of the series has seen people flock to the farm shop to buy products such as Cow Juice, rapeseed oil, chutneys and jams.
However, the Grand Tour host said a local has taken legal action against him after entering his land.
During his appearance on Ben and Georgie Ainslie’s Performance People podcast, he said: ‘We had one that other day. That woman who put her croc into… You lift a gate post out when you open double gates so you can open both gates.

‘We took it out and we were in and out all day long, and somehow she put her foot into this hole and then bruised her leg.
‘It was then “I’m suing you,” And there is nothing you can do.
‘We were in and out and they just said I should have put the thing back in. I was like… f****g hell… so yeah, it’s a constant frustration.’
Last month, it was reported that Jeremy was appealing an enforcement notice to shut his Diddly Squat farm restaurant and café.
He had previously had two planning applications rejected by West Oxfordshire District Council (WODC), who then took action in August.
It stated in the enforcement notice that the parking, toilets, traffic, along with the dining, installed by Clarkson’s farm is ‘visually intrusive and harmful’ to the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
‘The unlawful use of Diddly Squat Farm by reason of its nature, scale and siting is unsustainable and incompatible with its open countryside location,’ the local council said.

In the enforcement notice, it said there should be no retail food sold that does not come from the farm, within 16-mile (25.7km) of the farm or that has been allowed by the council, and also said the converted barn, where the restaurant is housed, must be returned to its original state.
Agents working on his behalf said they are not in breach of planning laws, claiming that the council’s decision is ‘excessive.’
Clarkson’s Farm is available to stream on Amazon Prime.
