Jeremy Clarkson says man he confronted performing sex act had bizarre reaction

Jeremy Clarkson revealed the hilarious exchange which occurred when he caught a young bloke engaging in a sex act near his pub.

In his recent column for The Times, the Clarkson's Farm presenter revealed that secluded country lanes in the leafy Cotswolds are hotspots for dogging – AKA, engaging in sexual acts in public or semi-public areas.

"In the not-too-distant past, the car park at my remote Cotswolds pub was a hot spot," he wrote, adding that a few people had even made it onto Diddly Squat Farm to engage in the act. Perhaps inspired by the antics some of the farm animals get up to in the Prime Video series.

Clarkson then went on to recall a particularly unfortunate encounter he and partner Lisa Hogan had while driving home from their pub one night.

After noticing a 'suspicious-looking' car parked up alongside the road, Clarkson stopped next to the vehicle to see whether the occupant was, in his words, either a 'hare courser, doggist or terrorist', when he was confronted with a young lad, around the age of 17, mid sex act.

"With one hand, he was smoking what I believe is called a doobie, and with the other he was frantically pleasuring himself," he wrote.

Realising that not only had be been caught, but was now being watched by one of TV's most recognisable presenters, the man rolled down his window and said, 'Oh my God, you’re Jeremy Clarkson'.

Mortified at the fact that he'd been caught, the youngster then added: "I rather wish we had met in different circumstances."

Fortunately for the young chap, Clarkson found his quick-witted response to be rather hilarious.

This isn't the first time that Clarkson has addressed the fact that his popular pub was previously a hotspot for frisky activity, with the 66-year-old revealing back in 2024 that he'd found a pair of discarded knickers on the premises.

"Tell me you bought a pub on a dogging site without telling me you bought a pub on a dogging site," the presenter said in a video shared on Instagram, before holding the offending item up to the camera.

While Clarkson may have been a bit disgruntled over the discovery, it wasn't long before his followers were cracking jokes about the finding.

"Rename the pub The Dog Inn," one person joked, while another suggested his former co-presenters may have left them there as a 'cruel joke'.
