Jeremy Clarkson has today joined the Cotswolds backlash against holidaying US Vice President JD Vance.
The presenter revealed his new summer neighbour has interrupted the filming of Clarkson's Farm as the secret service swarms the surrounding countryside and a no–fly zone has been put in place.
The Vice President's visit to the Cotswolds has already attracted some criticism with locals complaining of disruption and left–leaning protesters flocking to the area.
Motoring journalist turned farmer Clarkson said that the one–mile no fly zone around Vance's Cotswolds manor house rental is preventing drone cameramen on his Amazon Prime show from doing their job.
The no fly zone has been set up for security reasons while Mr Vance is in residence in the hamlet of Dean for the rest of August.
He posted a picture on Instagram showing the no fly zone, including his own farm, Curdle Hill Farm – also known as Diddly Squat because, he has claimed, that's how much money he stands to make from it.
The TV star captioned the map: 'The JD Vance no fly zone. We are the pin. So on the downside, no drone shots today. On the upside, no annoying light aircraft.'
And Clarkson isn't the only one frustrated by Vance's presence in Chipping Norton, with the presenter's right hand man Kaleb Cooper complaining that the extra security had derailed him from his own farming duties.
