Jeremy Clarkson has revealed the bizarre response he received after confronting a teenager engaged in a sex act on his property. The Clarkson's Farm host, 66, spotted a 'suspicious-looking' vehicle parked in a lane near woodland while driving back from his local pub.
Unexpected recognition
Initially suspecting flytipping, Clarkson soon realised what the duo were actually doing. Writing for The Times, he described seeing a man around 17 years old, smoking 'a doobie' while 'frantically' performing a sex act.
When the man realised he had been caught, he wound down the car window and said: 'Oh my God, you're Jeremy Clarkson.' He then added: 'I rather wish we had met in different circumstances.'
Dogging hotspot history
Clarkson noted that dogging is often associated with suburban areas like Beaconsfield, but said the car park at his remote Cotswolds pub had been a hotspot in the past. 'It's even happened, on a smaller scale, on my farm,' he said.
The TV presenter previously expressed shock after learning his pub, The Farmer's Dog, had been a popular dogging site. In 2024, after taking over the establishment, he shared his surprise at finding a G-string in the surrounding greenery.
CCTV and recent changes
'It was gentleman usually, who stopped off there once it had gone dark to do whatever it is gentlemen in woods do at night,' he said at the time. 'So I was a bit surprised to find a G-string there, because it suggested it had become more inclusive.'
He added: 'I've got CCTV now, so I can check it up on my phone.' Last month, former Prime Minister David Cameron was spotted enjoying a stout at the pub, despite politicians being banned. Cameron praised Clarkson, saying he has 'done an amazing job at highlighting some of the issues in the countryside' and 'done more for farming than anyone else I can think of in recent years.'
