Jeremy Clarkson fuming in first look at Ant and Dec's fake protest prank

Jeremy Clarkson looked massively unimpressed in a first look clip of Ant and Dec's fake protest prank.

Ant McPartlin, 46, and Declan Donnelly, also 46, found the perfect target for their 'mud' prank on Saturday Night Takeaway.

In the short clip, Jeremy, 61, can be seen arriving at his farm as 'protesters' chant: "No more toil, keep your soil" while holding signs.

"He looks very unimpressed," Ant says while disguised as a protester.

Another woman says to Jeremy: "Hi, my name is Laura, I'm one of the..." before Jeremy cuts her off.

The Top Gear star says in a deadpan tone: "The thing about soil is that you can't hurt it."

Dec, disguised in a bad wig, taunts the star by saying: "Maybe you should phone a friend" with a megaphone.

From a secret room, Ant tells another actor to handcuff themselves to Jeremy's car.

Throughout the entire short clip, Jeremy fumed as he silently watched the craziness unfold.

The clip was captioned: " @jeremyclarkson1 could really do with a 'phone a friend' lifeline right now.

" @antanddec are up to their old tricks again! Watch it all unfold this Saturday from 7pm."

Considering Jeremy has had many problems with complaints about his farm in the past, it's no surprise he looked irritated.

In November, an angry neighbour launched a legal battle over Jeremy's plans to build a restaurant on his farm.

He feared it will turn the Cotswolds village of Chadlington – in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – into a “Jeremy Clarkson theme park”.

At one point, a local villager complained about being late to a doctor's appointment due to Jeremy's Diddly Squat farm.

They claimed to the Oxford Mail that they were 20 minutes late to a doctor's appointment as a result of the traffic queues.

Responding to the article on Twitter, Jeremy wrote: "There are three roads from Chadlington to the A361. She could have used one of the other two instead of moaning."

The resident, who was quoted anonymously, had called the situation "complete chaos." They said: "I was 20 minutes late for a doctor's appointment due to queues."

The local added: "They have parking management on the entrance of Clarkson's farm who are instructing cars to park on the road. The cars parked to go on for more than a mile."
