Jeremy Clarkson addresses Richard Hammond reunion rumours

The two presenters worked together alongside James May on both BBC’s Top Gear and Prime Video’s The Grand Tour for more than two decades.

Mr Clarkson lives in Oxfordshire, where he runs Diddly Squat Farm in Chadlington and The Farmer’s Dog pub in Asthall, near Burford.

It has been reported that Mr Hammond has bought a six-bedroom Georgian manor house near Abergavenny in Wales.

With a price tag of £2m, the mansion that was bought with cash comes with a tennis court, wine cellar, conservatory, lake and outbuildings for his collection of cars and motorbikes.

Villagers have seen the TV presenter shopping in Waitrose, with one telling The Sun: “It’s great having a celebrity face in town.

It was reported last week that some Abergavenny locals are fearful that Mr Clarkson may follow his former co-star and pal to the Welsh town.

However, the 65-year-old has quashed this idea of a move to reunite with Mr Hammond while writing in The Sun.

He said: “Residents in the pretty Welsh town of Abergavenny said this week that after Richard Hammond bought a house in the area, they were ‘fearful’ that I’d do the same thing.

“Well, relax, boyos, because why would I want to live near Richard Hammond?

“The roads are dangerous enough as it is without having to worry about him coming round the corner, on fire and on his roof.”

Mr Clarkson’s jibes made reference to Mr Hammond’s multiple car crashes, which occurred while the TV shows the pair worked on together.
