Jeremy Clarkson has revealed he will keep his farm shop open to customers amid the coronavirus crisis.
The Grand Tour presenter, 59, took to his social media on Monday to reveal he had boxes of potatoes available for those in need, but stipulated that shoppers had to maintain a safe distance and couldn’t have a selfie.
First heading to Twitter, Jeremy wrote: ‘People of Chipping Norton. My farm shop will open at 11. Only potatoes on offer. Panic buyers welcome. Don’t get out of your car.’

‘Two things. To maintain minimum safe distance, it’s cash only. And no you can’t have a f***ing selfie,’ he added in a second post.
Going on to share his update on Instagram as well, Jeremy posted snaps of his shop and the overflowing boxes of potatoes for customers.
Referencing the current shortage of some food in supermarkets after panic buyers purchased certain items in bulk, he said: ‘My farm shop shelves are NOT empty.’
Jeremy originally opened the shop in February for a new Amazon Prime Video show called I Bought A Farm.

And on Tuesday he revealed that he has been deemed ‘a key worker’ according to the government, and thus is allowed to travel for work if he needed to.
Making light of the situation, he joked: ‘Good news everyone. You can relax. Her Majesty’s government has decided that I am a key worker.’
To stem the terrifying number of deaths, gatherings of more than two people are now banned and people must only leave their homes for essential supplies, medical help, or to travel to work if it is ‘absolutely’ unavoidable.
Going out for exercise is allowed once a day as long as people stay two metres apart to stop the NHS collapsing under the strain of new cases.
