Jeremy Clarkson selling candles 'that smell like his bollocks' for £10

Jeremy Clarkson has unleashed a gift upon the world that is possible absolutely no one asked for, nor wants – a candle he claims smells like his testicles.

The 60-year-old petrol head has a farm shop called Diddly Squat away from his success as a TV star and is now stocked with the curious item.

Jezza is charging £10 to anyone that wants one of his candles which he has called This Smells Like My Bollocks.

The endeavour in to scented candles is seemingly in response to Hollywood star Gwyneth Paltrow unleashing a £72 candle called This Smells Like My Vagina back in January.

Sharing a video of himself holding one of his own candles online, Jeremy gave fans a run down of his unusual new merchandise.

Holding one of the tinned candles, he declared: “Just in at the Diddly Squat Farm Shop. Eat your heart out Gwyneth Paltrow.”

And while Gwyneth’s vaginal inspired candle is said to have hints of geranium, citrus bergamot, cedar, Damask rose, and ambrette seed, Jezza’s concoction seemingly has a more “authentic” scent.

Taking a wiff of his own creation, the TV star said: “Mmmm - the great smell of scrotum.”

A source told The Sun on Sunday of the TV star’s project: “Jeremy’s had great fun whipping up the candles for his shop and thinks they’re a genius idea.

“He’s only selling them in store currently, but he’s planning to make a bigger batch and get them online for Christmas presents.

“They’re a lot cheaper than Gwyneth’s and he’s actually worked hard on formulating the scent.”

Actor and wrestler Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson had previously joked he would release a candle of his own called This Smells Like My Balls.

While Gwyneth herself managed to outdo the original – by releasing a sequel called This Smells Like My Orgasm in June.

The follow up – also costing £72 – has elements of tart grapefruit, neroli, and ripe cassis berries blended with gunpowder tea and Turkish rose.
