Clarkson's Farm star Jeremy Clarkson makes 'devastating' announcement about new pub

Jeremy Clarkson, the star of Clarkson's Farm, has revealed that his pub, the Farmer's Dog, was targeted by hackers who stole £27,000 from its accounting system.

The former Top Gear presenter, who also runs Diddly Squat Farm, shared the news in his column for The Sun.

He stated, "Jaguar Land Rover had to shut down its production lines this week after its systems were breached by computer hackers.

"And we are told similar attacks were launched in recent months on both M&S and the Co-op. But no one thought to mention that my pub, the Farmer's Dog, has been hit too."

"It was, though. Someone broke into our accounting system and helped themselves to £27,000."

Despite the setback, Jeremy managed to find humour in the situation, adding: "When times are tough, I always think that a good laugh helps, which is why I sat down this week to watch the endlessly amusing Green Party announce its new leader. They didn't let me down."

The hacking incident is just the latest in a series of challenges faced by the Clarkson's Farm star, who previously warned of a "catastrophic" harvest at his farm.

He said, "It looks like this year's harvest will be catastrophic. That should be a worry for anyone who eats food. If a disaster on this scale had befallen any other industry, there would be a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth."

In his column for The Times, he wrote: "It used to be reasonably predictable, but it just isn't anymore. In March, Diddly Squat had no rain at all.

"Not even a drop. In April, we got 20mm, which in old money is bu**er all," reports the Express.

"And so far in May, we've had 4mm. You couldn't keep a window box going with a dribble like that. It's been drier than it was in 1976. And while we do have about thirty springs on the farm, they're all in the wrong place. So my onions and my beetroots are just sitting in the dust.

"The wheat, meanwhile, is curling up, the barley won't really get cracking at all, and I dread to think what manner of terribleness is being foisted on my poor potatoes."

Clarkson's Farm can be streamed on Amazon Prime.
