Clarkson's Diddly Squat ambulance update after 'lavatory' dash
Clarkson's Diddly Squat ambulance update after lavatory dash

Jeremy Clarkson has issued an update from his Diddly Squat Farm after an ambulance arrived at his Oxfordshire estate, revealing the crew's visit was not for a medical emergency.

On Saturday afternoon (October 3), the 66-year-old broadcaster drove over to his farmstead after clips surfaced on social media showing an ambulance parked outside his establishment. Worried for his staff and customers, he headed to his 1,000-acre estate with his long-term girlfriend, Lisa Hogan.

Ambulance visit explained

However, the Clarkson's Farm star was surprised to learn the nature of the visit wasn't entirely medical when he pulled up to the site. Taking to Instagram, the Irish model shared a clip from inside their car as they reflected on the unusual visit.

Panning the camera over to the parked ambulance on the driveway, she began: "Oh look, we have an ambulance here. We were really worried, so we pulled in and guess what they were doing, the ambulance [service]. Were they saving people?"

Fans react to toilet stop

It was at this point that the motoring journalist shook his head as he pulled out of the drive, before chuckling: "No, they needed to use our lavatories."

The blonde bombshell captioned the hilarious clip: "Diddly Squat Farm Shop is providing vital services to all [giggling emoji]." It didn't take long for fans to flock to the comments section to make jokes at the embarrassing moment online.

One user quipped: "You gotta pee somewhere [two cry-laughing emojis]. Piddly Squat!" as another added: "I bet you were glad you could offer a public service [laughing emoji]." A third echoed: "As an ambulance person myself, you have to take every pee opportunity [cry-laughing emoji]." A fourth echoed: "A very important part of ambulance work is knowing where the nice toilets are [laughing emoji]."

Previous encounter revealed

It comes after the broadcaster revealed an amusing encounter with a suspected 'dogger' in the woodland surrounding his farm. The Farmer's Dog pub boasts a suspicious past, with the presenter previously revealing that it stands on what was once known as a notorious dogging location.

In his latest column for The Times, he revealed that the establishment had previously been frequented by fly-tippers engaging in the illegal activity. He told readers: "We like to think this is mostly the preserve of suburban housewives in home country pampas places like Beaconsfield. But in the not too distant past, the car park at my remote Cotswolds pub was a hot spot as well. It's even happened, on a smaller scale, on my farm."
