The former lives in Oxfordshire, owning both Diddly Squat Farm in Chadlington and The Farmer’s Dog pub in Asthall.

He is known for starring on BBC’s Top Gear as well as both The Grand Tour and Clarkson’s Farm on Prime Video.

Over the years, Mr Clarkson has had a controversial relationship with broadcaster Piers Morgan with the pair clashing several times over the years.

This reached new levels when the 65-year-old punched the former Daily Mail editor at the British Press Awards in 2004.

Yet the pair surprised fans with a photograph together this evening (Wednesday, December 10) at a formal event.

The snap was posted by Mr Morgan on the social media site X alongside the joking caption: “Great to catch up with my fans at Christmas.”

Speaking on the incident in his new book Woke is Dead, the 60-year-old wrote: “He ended up punching me before we settled things at the British Press Awards.

“I’ve still got the scar on my forehead, and it wasn’t entirely unjustified, so I have no complaints about it, although I did think he had a very weak punch, and he did break his finger hitting my head, which is quite satisfying.”

The pair have since reconciled as Mr Morgan added: “He contacted me out of the blue and said, ‘Morgan, Clarkson here, drink?’

“We met in my local pub and actually had a great night.

“We got his daughter and one of my sons to act as the official peace treaty ratifiers, and peace in our time was agreed.”
