Jeremy Clarkson emotional over Storm Darragh's serious impact on Diddly Squat farm

Jeremy Clarkson cut a sombre figure as he assessed the damage the ferocious Storm Darragh had wreaked upon his beloved Diddly Squat Farm in the Cotswolds

Jeremy Clarkson cut a forlorn figure as he was papped outside his Farmer's Dog pub today.

The Clarkson's Farm star, 64, had been assessing the damage to his boozer and Diddly Squat farm following the UK's Storm Darragh, which wreaked havoc upon much of the country.

The dad-of-three was back to work with his crew after the filming of his smash-hit show had been halted at the Oxfordshire property due the harsh conditions of the storm, which recently swept across the UK, bringing gusts of up to 93mph in certain areas.

Jeremy was seen filming at his pub in the Cotswolds, as he prepared it for Christmas, with members of crew setting up gifts and installing a snow machine. However, there was not much festive cheer to be had after a tree surgeon was spotted pulling up a fallen tree, which had blocked the car park.

Jeremy, who looked tired as he approached his pub, has been concerned about the damage and delays in filming. He was also far from amused when fans have rallied to bring a dash of humour to the unfortunate situation after his beloved Diddly Squat farm suffered damage amid the storms.

Seeing photos of the damage on the farm's Instagram page, one person quipped: "What did May do? Or did Hammond crash into it?" Meanwhile, another said: "Reminds me of Hammond's motorhome on Top Gear where he managed to set fire to metal". Elsewhere, another fan suggested Jeremy should have: "Taken it [Farmer's Dog] down before the storm came as it would of been easier." Responding curtly, Jeremy said: "It takes 24 people seven days to put that thing up or take it down."

Following the storm, the Diddly Squat Instagram account announced the Grand Tour tent section of the venue was being shut down until further notice after it was battered by high winds and rain, necessitating some urgent repair work.

The tent drew a huge crowd because it was used by Jeremy and his former Grand Tour co-stars Richard Hammond and James May on their global tour. However, it was no match for Storm Darrgah, as the former Top Gear host revealed he had to shut down the farm's butchers, off-licence Hops and Chops, the shop and the garden kitchen, known as The Famer's Puppy.

Updating visitors on the developments, the farm's Instagram account posted: "Sadly, our Grand Tour tent will be closing for some much-needed wind repair today." However, there was a silver lining - The Farmer's Dog main pub would remain open to the public as the storm continued to pass through.

Asking if the tent and farm shop would be open again by this coming Thursday 12th, the pub confirmed to visitors that the farm shop is "standing strong" and will be back in business in time for tomorrow.
