cut a sombre figure as he walked through the Farmer’s Dog this week in the wake of Storm Darragh.
The presenter was back to work with his crew after the filming of had been halted at the Oxfordshire property due the harsh conditions of the storm, which recently swept across the UK, bringing gusts of up to 93mph in certain areas.
Jeremy was seen filming at his Oxfordshire pub, as he prepared it for Christmas, with members of crew were setting up Christmas presents.
A tree surgeon was also spotted pulling up a fallen tree, which had blocked the car park. Jeremy, who looked tired and forlorn, has been concerned about the damage and delays in filming.
He was far from amused when fans have rallied to bring a dash of humour to an otherwise unfortunate situation after his beloved Diddly Squat farm suffered damage amid the storms.

Followers flocked to the comment section with quips like, “What did May do? Or did Hammond crash into it? ” and “Reminds me of Hammonds motorhome on top gear where he managed to set fire to metal”.
However, not all banter was well-received, as one overzealous commenter learnt when suggesting Jeremy should have preemptively dismantled his pub to avoid storm damage.
They wrote: “Surprised you didn’t take it down before the storm came would of been easier. Clarkson’s curt response was: “It takes 24 people seven days to put that thing up or take it down.”
Following the storm the Diddly Squat account announced the Grand Tour tent section of the venue was being shut down until further notice after it was battered by high winds and rain, necessitating some urgent repair work.

This closure is particularly unfortunate as the tent draws visitors because it is the same tent Jeremy and his former Grand Tour co-stars Richard Hammond and James May used on their global tour.
However, it proved no match for Storm Darragh. Due to the extent of the damage, the closure also meant Jeremy had to shut down the farm’s butchers, off-licence Hops and Chops, the shop and the garden kitchen, known as The Famer’s Puppy.
“Sadly, our Grand Tour tent will be closing for some much-needed wind repair today,” read a post on their social media account. But there was a silver lining: The Farmer’s Dog main pub would remain open to the public as the storm continued to pass through.
