Jeremy Clarkson’s Diddly Squat farm targeted as thieves steal sheep worth thousands

  • Clarkson’s Farm presenter Jeremy Clarkson has revealed that 11 Easycare sheep worth in excess of £2,000 have been stolen from his Diddly Squat farm in Chadlington, Oxfordshire.
  • The 66-year-old television host discovered the livestock were missing while counting his flock alongside his co-star Kaleb Cooper.
  • Clarkson suggested the theft occurred at night or on a day when filming was paused, explaining that monitoring the entirety of his 1,000-acre property against determined thieves is extremely difficult.
  • The incident was reported to Thames Valley Police by Cooper and land manager Charlie Ireland, with Clarkson praising the response, urging the culprits to return the animals, and warning that the farm is armed.
  • The theft comes after Clarkson recently confirmed he is in remission following an early diagnosis of aggressive prostate cancer, and coincides with the premiere of the new series of Prime Video’s The Grand Tour .
