Jeremy Clarkson shares major update from Diddly Squat after closing his farm shop
JEREMY Clarkson has shared a major update on Diddly Squat Farm Shop after it was closed down two months ago.
The Sun columnist and Clarkson’s Farm star left fans disappointed in December by announcing the news.
While no explanation was given by Jezza, 64, at the time, his pop-up shop at The Farmer’s Dog pub is still open three days a week.
But now in a fresh update, Jeremy has revealed the shop is finally reopening – and exactly why it was closed.
He shuttered the successful store for a renovation, praising his team for ‘fixing’ the premises over the last two months.
Taking to Instagram, the petrol head told excited fans he’s reopening the doors this Saturday.
He wrote: “Just 3 days to go until Diddly Squat Farm Shop reopens following the winter break.
“The team have been working hard to fix and refresh, just look at the sign, it’s like new .
“The doors will be open on Saturday and Sunday 09:30-16:30. Normal hours resume.”
Fans flooded Jeremy with well-wishes on the reopening, as one said: “We are visiting from the Isle of Wight next Friday!”
A second wrote: “I’ve been twice … even got a pet from lovely Lisa – she is my fav.”
“Hope it will be open in October,” said a third.
