Jeremy Clarkson has revealed that a road sign pointing to his Diddly Squat Farm Shop has been vandalized.
The TV presenter, 62, – whose Oxfordshire farm is the subject of his Amazon Prime show Clarkson’s Farm – took to Instagram on Sunday to share a snapshot of the mischief, with the sign now reading: ‘Diddly Twat’ .
Jeremy, who recently received a lot of backlash over his controversial column about Meghan Markle, said of the sign: “Someone’s been busy in the night.”
The road sign in question showed the route to his Diddly Squat farm shop just off the A361 at Chadlington, but a brazen vandal edited the sign to say something much grittier.
And while Jeremy wasn’t impressed with the updated signage, his co-star Kaleb Cooper found the funny side of the situation.
Oh dear: Jeremy Clarkson has revealed that a road sign pointing to his Diddly Squat Farm Shop has been vandalized
The 24-year-old farmer responded to Jeremy’s post, writing: ‘Haha! That’s so funny.’
Meanwhile, many of Jeremy’s followers also shared their funny thoughts about the sign, writing, “The Council probably ordered it.”
Another added: “Seems a more appropriate name.”
With another referring to Jeremy’s recent issue with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, jokingly, “My money’s on the Markles.”
Jeremy recently had to fight to save his career amid the fallout from his column, with both ITV and Amazon hinting at dropping the former Top Gear star.
However, Jeremy has since confirmed that there will be a third series of Clarkson’s Farm.
The show returned for a second series on Amazon Prime Video earlier this month, but the programme’s future has been subject to speculation after Jeremy wrote in a newspaper column that he “hated” Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex.
But after a fan tweeted Jeremy to say they “loved” the second series and “can’t wait” for a second season “if there is one,” he replied, “There is one.”

Last month, Jeremy revealed he had emailed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to apologize for his controversial column.
He sparked outrage in December when he wrote in his page for The sun newspaper that he “dreamed of the day” when Meghan would be forced to “parade naked through the streets” as crowds threw excrement and shouted “shame” at the Duchess, with his own daughter Emily among his critics.
Jeremy previously said he was ‘appalled that he had caused so much pain’ and vowed to be more careful in the future’, asking The Sun to remove the column – the most complained about ever – from their website.
But in January, he issued a longer apology, revealing that he had contacted the royal couple directly.
He wrote on Instagram, “I usually read what I wrote to someone else before submitting, but I was home alone on that fateful day and in a hurry. So when I was done I just hit submit. And then, when the column showed up the next day, the landmine exploded.

Reflection: Jeremy admitted that he ‘felt sick’ when he first read his column and thinks he made the situation worse for himself because he didn’t add context to his comments
So I wrote to everyone who worked with me saying I was sorry and then on Christmas morning I emailed Harry and Meghan in California to apologize too.
“I said I was baffled by what they had said on TV, but the language I had used in my column was disgraceful and I was deeply sorry.
“In the last 30 years I’ve written nearly 5,000 columns in newspapers and magazines, so it was inevitable that one day I’d do a Harry Kane and say one of the damn things. That’s what happened with the part about Meghan.”
Jeremy admitted that he “felt sick” when he first read his column and believes he made the situation worse for himself by not adding context to his comments, which referenced a scene from Game of Thrones.
