Jeremy Clarkson fears he will 'talk himself out of a job' as he slams 'preposterous' issue
Jeremy Clarkson, 62, is concerned that one of his jobs is running the risk of being axed due to the economic situation.The star, who rose to fame driving fast vehicles on BBC’s Top Gear, before moving over to Amazon Prime Video’s The Grand Tour, is now also writing a motoring column.However, Jeremy is now worrying that people will be unable to afford to buy any of the new vehicles he is busy reviewing.In the presenter’s review of the Volkswagen T-Roc, which was published today, he explained that fuel bills are now getting so high, consumers will lose interest in investing in the latest cars.While empathising with his colleagues writing in the Travel section of The Sunday Times amid chaos over cancelled flights, Jeremy realised something startling about his own career.He penned: “I’m in an even more preposterous situation. “I don’t want to talk myself out of a job, but it’s difficult to see why I’m writing a motoring column this morning. “Because even if you could buy a new car, and you can’t due to the semiconductor shortage, you wouldn’t be able to afford to go anywhere in it.”Jeremy went on to predict the situation is going to get even more difficult to handle this autumn, due to the expense of heating people’s homes.The star moaned: “I’m not normally pessimistic, but come the autumn, when people have to switch on their central heating systems and the inevitable food shortage arrives, I fear that cars are going to be filed in your ‘list of important things’ below the wellbeing of your town crier and the fortunes of Plymouth Argyle.  “I may be forced to fill the time reviewing steam locomotives and VHS players instead.”It comes as the cost of living in the UK is set to skyrocket in the coming weeks.The Bank of England

'Won't be enough to go round' Jeremy Clarkson plans last resort to save farm amid sad loss
Jeremy Clarkson, 62, spoke about the sad loss he had experienced recently amid the UK’s brutal heatwave that saw temperatures sore above 40 degrees Celsius.The Clarkson’s Farm star also admitted that the extreme heat had made life on Diddly Squat very difficult. Jeremy spoke about the awful effect the heat wave had on farmers and their land in his latest column. The former Top Gear star wrote: “One of my pigs died from heat exhaustion, my potatoes look like sultanas, and my springs are drying up, which means that to stay alive I have to suck the moisture out of moss, or drink beer.”After losing one of his pigs, the problems didn’t stop there for Jeremy, as it seems the heat also caused trouble for his other animals.“Meanwhile, my cows are so hungry they are prepared to walk through an electric fence every day to look for food,” Jeremy wrote. READ MORE: Anne Heche 'rushed to hospital with burns as car crashes into house'“To get round the problem, I spent half a day building a proper fence with posts sunk deep into the bedrock. But even this was no deterrent to a starving ton of meat and muscle.“To try to keep them off the road, I’m using bribery, feeding them the hay I cut earlier in the year,” he explained. The star then shared a dark thought, suggesting he might be forced to eat the animals if they don’t have enough food to last the winter. “Come the winter, there won’t be enough to go round.

'Heartbreaking!' Richard Hammond mourns loss of friend after terrifying yacht accident
Top Gear favourite was devastated to lose his friend, with whom he shares his well-documented passion for classic cars, and described himself as "heartbroken".Richard has stated that his late friend was his "favourite person to introduce others to" and that they had been close for years.It had barely been a month since the pair were seen together at his The Smallest Cog car restoration workshop, and the two men have also filmed for TV together.Dean, a British-German businessman who owned the Herefordshire based mask supplier Ultrafilter Medical, had been holidaying with family and friends on a luxurious yacht named 'Amore' (the Italian word for 'love') when disaster struck.The 88 foot yacht crashed into a rock wall, with himself, his wife and daughter and four other revellers on board.Police have suggested that it had been travelling at high speed when it went off course.Dean was thrown from the deck into the water, and following the shock of the impact, he went into cardiac arrest.Though he was initially rescued, he died shortly afterwards.His wife and daughter are currently being treated at a British hospital for serious injuries, while the other guests have escaped the tragic scene relatively unscathed.The impact of the crash was so severe that the bow of Dean's yacht was completely destroyed.It is believed that the captain could have swerved to avoid collision with another passing boat by the name of Sweet Dragon.However the movement caused the yacht to lose control altogether, leading to the tragic accident.The partially sunken yacht has now been recovered and taken to Porto Cervo.Meanwhile Richard gave a statement to the Daily Mail honouring his beloved friend."I'm genuinely shocked at this heartbreaking news,” he

‘They’re talking b***s’ James May conflicted over benefits of ‘woke society' of today
Express.co.uk, James discussed whether or not he spoke to his former co-hosts Richard Hammond or Jeremy Clarkson while filming for Our Man In Italy. He jokingly explained that he didn’t speak to them and was pleased to not have them there. James said: “No, I didn't phone them up, I was pleased not to have them [here] to be honest.“When I am making a TV show by myself, I can just keep going, it's great until the crew tell me to shut up.”The programme was thrown into doubt last year due to the Coronavirus pandemic. James and his crew were supposed to be filming the series in America, but were unable to due to the restrictions. He said: “We were supposed to be [filming in] the USA and I actually announced it on Twitter and various other places.“Then about two days later we realised we couldn't do it.The problem was COVID-19 restrictions.“But Italy didn't [have restrictions] and it wasn't completely sprung on us because we always have several ideas lined up and partly, it was in our back pocket as a possible [country] for the future.“So, we haven't blown America out of the water, we just didn't do it at that time.”Speaking about the future of the series, and whether filming in America could be next as a location, James continued: “Well, it would be nice to do another one, and that all depends on how well this one is received."America is still very much on the list.So, we have a lot of ideas for America already sorted out.”
