Jeremy Clarkson refuses to donate his organs after death
The former Top Gear and The Grand Tour presenter lives in Oxfordshire, where he runs Diddly Squat Farm in Chadlington and The Farmer’s Dog pub in Asthall, near Burford.
More recently, he has become known for starring in Clarkson’s Farm on Amazon Prime, which documents his time running the 1,000-acre farm.
He has been a vocal supporter of the UK’s farming industry, regularly highlighting the issues the sector is facing.

In addition, in late 2024, he marched in London as part of a protest against a new 20 per cent inheritance tax on farms valued over £1 million from April 2026.
With the tax about to come into force, Mr Clarkson has revealed he has been making plans for his death in his latest The Sunday Times column.
It comes as he has previously revealed that he underwent emergency heart surgery in 2024 at Oxford’s John Radcliffe Hospital after suffering pains.
Whilst setting down some brutally honest plans for his funeral as well as burial, and will, Mr Clarkson brought up the topic of organ donation.

Speaking on Organ Donor Cards, he revealed: “I know I should carry one. It’s the right thing to do.
“But I’ve always had a nagging doubt that I might be wrong about God and that if I give my eyes to a motorcyclist and it turns out there is a heaven, I’d be pretty cross with myself.”
Mr Clarkson will return to screens later this year with the fifth series of Clarkson’s Farm, which is expected to be released on Prime Video in May.
