Jeremy Clarkson has revealed he has banned a third person from his pub after she 'moaned' about her drink.
The Who Wants To Be A Millionaire presenter opened his new pub, The Farmer's Dog, at the end of August with doors swinging open just in time for a bumper bank holiday weekend.
People were left queuing from 8am to try and secure a table and pint of Hawkstone lager, with Clarkson having since defended the price of a pint at the pub after some criticised it.
When opening the watering hole, Clarkson revealed two people had been banned from setting foot inside, with them both massive names in the United Kingdom.

Well, he's now added a third person to that barred list and it's someone very close to home when it comes to the people that actually run the pub.
In a new video posted to The Farmer's Dog Instagram account, Clarkson is seen adding the name of 'Maddy Hornby' to the banned list from the pub.
The man behind the camera - Jonathan Hornby - asks what he's up to, with Clarkson bluntly replying: "I'm banning your daughter because she moaned after not being able to have Tabasco in her Bloody Mary. So she's banned."
As a crowd laughs behind the camera, Hornby ends the clip saying: "Keir Starmer, James May, Maddy Hornby. You're all banned."

The reason for no Tabasco being available in the pub is because Clarkson is trying to create a business which only supplies produce that has been made in Great Britain.
So, with Tabasco being produced in Avery Island over in Louisiana, USA, that doesn't quite make the cut. Clarkson has been pretty stringent on the rule, too, with coffee and Coca Cola also not available.
Writing on the pub's website about his British-only rule, he said he had 'failed', explaining: "I have tried my absolute hardest to make sure that every single thing you consume in The Farmer’s Dog was grown or reared by British farmers. And I have failed.
"Yes, the pork, the beef, the lamb and the venison are all British. And so is pretty much everything else. The milk, the butter, the eggs, the vegetables and the fruit. We even cook in British oils.

"But there have been some problems like, for instance, the simple G&T. You can’t have a pub that doesn’t offer a gin and tonic. But there is quinine in tonic water, and you can’t grow that in Britain."
Hornby is one of the men who is, on paper, running The Farmer's Dog.
Friends with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, he quit as a trustee on the board of the Prince's charity, Sentebale, last year.
Having held the position for 11 years, he had also been chairman for the final five years of his time there.

Earlier this year, the pub licence was transferred to a company called Baobab Operations Limited, with Clarkson's long-time mates Mark Devereux and Hornby listed as directors of the firm over on Companies House.
Devereux has worked as Jezza's lawyer while Hornby is one of the key behind-the-scenes people that helped launch Hawkstone.
