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

Escape to the Chateau’s Angel on 'challenging’ issue at home and need to ‘take time out'
Escape To The Chateau star Angel Strawbridge has opened up about a "really challenging" issue she faces at her family home in France.The wife of Dick Strawbridge, 44, candidly admitted struggling finding "balance" in her hectic life, before revealing she needed to "take time out".Dick and Angel moved their family into the Chateau de la Motte Husson in Pays de la Loire in 2015.Since then the Chateau has opened its rooms to guests and become an in-demand wedding venue.It's understandable then that the couple have their hands full with their business, as well as taking care of their children, Dorothy and Arthur.In a recent interview, Angel candidly spoke about the importance of finding balance between both work and family life.The star said: "It's nice to work, but it's all about finding that balance within your life."She admitted it had been tough to reach a balancing point, but added that it's something they've found at last.Angel explained: "It has been really challenging for me but I think we are getting there."Especially with weddings, events and school, there are always things to do."It's about taking that time out," she added to House Beautiful.The family has had a busy year after returning to the UK for their Dare to do It! tour.Following a busy first-half of the year, they announced they were taking a much-needed break.Earlier this month, Dick and Angel took to Twitter to share a "big day" for their family.The couple told their 86,500 followers how the end of this week marked a big day for their children as it marked the end of a school year as well as one of their projects being released.They wrote: "It was a big day today for the Strawbridges...""The last day of school for Arthur & Dorothy and we are delighted to

Brits to be blasted with week of 'tropical' thunderstorms as forecasters issue grim warning
rainfall, we will be reaching for our umbrellas to shield from showers moving in from the Atlantic.But temperatures are set to remain muggy until Wednesday, climbing into the high twenties.Met Office forecaster Greg Dewhurst said: “A changeable picture will emerge over the coming days with it being on the warm and humid side for many.“It will be warm and muggy and there will be plenty of cloud as high pressure builds on Monday, the day starting sunny and dry before turning wet and windy in north-eastern and western parts of the UK.“There’s going to be a very muggy feel, more so at night, so expect an uncomfortable time sleeping, with temperatures in the late teens.”It comes after showers hit northern England and the Midlands yesterday (Sun).Temperatures in London and the south east could soar as high as 29C tomorrow [Tuesday], before turning sunnier and cooler from the middle of the week.The Met Office also warned an “odd rumble of thunder may be heard in isolated areas”.Forecaster Tom Morgan said: “The main theme over the coming days will be wet weather, in stark contrast to the rest of July.“Many areas will be very warm and humid with plenty of cloud around, even overnight, with temperatures as high as 20C in the early hours, meaning uncomfortable evenings for sleeping are in store.“The odd rumble of thunder may be heard in isolated areas, and it’s going to be pretty muggy and humid, typical of conditions seen in tropical countries.”Meanwhile, England faces a drought in August if the hot and dry weather continues.Officials from the National Drought Group held crunch talks yesterday (Sunday 31) on how to tackle the conditions and protect water supplies.
