The incident happened at around 8.30am on Monday, April 20 when a woman was walking through an underpass beneath Concorde Avenue in Banbury.

She was travelling from Bridge Street towards the rear of Lidl on her way to the Spiceball gym when she was approached by the unknown man.

He was standing in the underpass and as the victim approached, he spoke to her and behaved in an “inappropriate manner”, according to officers.

A fellow celebrity living in the Cotswolds is former Top Gear and Grand Tour host Jeremy Clarkson.

The TV star owns two Oxfordshire businesses with Diddly Squat Farm in Chadlington and The Farmer’s Dog pub in Asthall.

Ms Holden has now revealed that she has visited the farm shop in the past, but has yet to return.

Whilst speaking on Heart Radio’s Breakfast show, the Britain’s Got Talent judge shared a problem she experienced last time out at Mr Clarkson’s spot.

“We don’t love the queues in the Cotswolds, but we love it [the show],” said Ms Holden.

“I’ve got a house up there that’s really close, and I went to his farm, very early on, but I haven’t been back since, only because the queues are so big.

Making a suggestion on how she could avoid the queues, the presenter joked: “I could probably just walk across the field to be honest, unless he might think I’m trespassing. ‘Get off my land!’

“No, I should go and have a look because everything has changed, they’ve got a whole new situation going on there.”

Arriving at the headquarters of the British Formula E team in Kidlington, the Prince of Wales met drivers and engineers.

In the factory, the prince was greeted by Antonio Felix da Costa, the 2020 FE world champion, who offered him the chance to sit behind the wheel of a development car, identical to the team’s current model.

“There’s not a lot of room in the legs, is there?” joked Prince William, who stands at 6ft 3in, as he settled into the car.

Da Costa talked the prince through what it is like to race the car, as well as its equipment and features.

“And your head, would you be slightly lower down?” the royal asked.

“I would say slightly lower than you are now,” Da Costa replied.

Before getting out of the car, the prince thanked the sportsman, adding “that’s fantastic”.

Prince William, who is known to have an interest in the environment, appeared enthusiastic and engaged as he asked questions about the sustainability aspect of FE, something he described as “incredible”, and told engineers they are “doing very well”.

He wished the team luck ahead of their races in Berlin next month, and said: “I’m very excited to see you racing, I’m going to cheer you guys on.”

Meeting young engineers who had completed a graduate programme with Jaguar TCS Racing, the prince told them he had joked with their colleagues earlier that, with so many innovations in the sport, “at what point does the driver become the weak link?”

He added: “[At what point do we think] get rid of drivers, we’ll get an AI person in?

“We’re probably not far off that, are we?”

Speaking to 22-year-old graduate Phoebe Russell, the prince remarked that motorsport is “not necessarily the first thing women would think about joining”.

He then asked: “Was it easy for you to find your way into this world?”

Ms Russell replied, “Not at all”, adding that she grew up with the sport, and speaking after the visit, she said she was “in shock” after meeting the prince.

She said: “Being asked to do a little career talk was very exciting.

“The fact that he had so much awareness of the sport and so much interest, and it ties into his whole sustainability project, it was very interesting.”

Jack Lambert, head of technical integration at Jaguar TCS Racing, who gave the prince a tour of the premises, was delighted with the visit.

“It went really well,” he said.

“When he’s here, and you’re spending time with him, it’s just a conversation as he’s so relaxed and interested.

“Having that level of interest makes the conversation so much easier, and it allows our guys who maybe don’t do this on a regular basis to have a really nice conversation about what they do and what they’re passionate about.

“And that’s where the magic comes out.”
