Jeremy Clarkson 'terrorised' by hundreds of seagulls wrecking his farm

Fed-up Jeremy Clarkson's life is being made hell by a gang of seagulls intent on destroying his beloved farm.

His crops are under siege from the swooping pests who are attacking his harvest on a daily basis.

The Daily Star say that the birds are wrecking his new solo Amazon Prime programme I Bought A Farm.

The 1,000-acre plot of land is being set-upon by the seagulls - and he wants them gone.

Angry Jeremy posted a series of videos on Instagram showing the creatures hovering over his Oxon plot - and then swooping down and killing everything in front of them.

He joked: "I have decided to plant seagulls this year."

He then tried to scare them away by driving at them in his tractor.

As they flew off, the sarcastic Grand Tour star wrote: "S***.... my crops are escaping!"

It's not just about ridding the place of pesky intruders - Jeremy says he will investigate the challenges facing farmers across the UK as well as dwindling food supplies in his new show.

He spoke to the Sunday Times recently outlining the programme in more detail.

“This is not Kate Humble - much as I like Kate Humble - with 20 acres, bottle-feeding a lamb," he said.

The former Top Gear host is having issues with his latest project (PA)

“Or a TV presenter who grows veg in his back garden. This is actual farming. Life, death and form filling.

“We’re not making Countryfile. We’ll be showing it warts and all.

“For example, I have no view on badger culling in terms of whether it’s necessary, but if it’s happening, we will not shy away from putting it in the programme.”
