Jeremy Clarkson has taken a subtle jab at former talk show host James Corden while promoting his latest book, The Farmer’s Dog. The 65-year-old ex-Top Gear presenter has been in the spotlight since embarking on his farming journey at Diddly Squat, captivating audiences worldwide with his Amazon Prime series.
In a move to stir up some excitement, Clarkson shared a video with fans to introduce the fifth installment of his book series, Diddly Squat: The Farmer’s Dog, on Instagram. Reading an excerpt from his book, he gave viewers a glimpse into his experiences on the farm, including the quirky tale of using a deer with antlers taped to its head as a substitute for a reindeer.
During the video, James Corden and Ruth Jones’ book titled When Gavin Met Stacey and Everything in Between was visible next to Clarkson’s book. Without hesitation, Clarkson boldly declared his book was “better than that.” The BBC comedy, which debuted in 2007 and ran for three series, delighted fans with two Christmas specials in 2019 and 2024, the latter attracting over 20 million viewers in December.
Not limiting his banter to Corden, Clarkson’s acerbic wit has also targeted Piers Morgan, with whom he had a long-standing feud. Their discord even turned physical at the Press Awards in 2004, resulting in a scuffle that left Piers with a scar and Clarkson with a broken finger. Despite the animosity, the two eventually reached a truce, with Piers recounting how a simple text message from Clarkson led to a pub meetup where they agreed to put their differences aside.
The clash between Clarkson and Piers has been a topic of interest, showcasing the dynamics of their relationship over the years.
