UK's 'sexiest man' Jeremy Clarkson's forgotten life in Derbyshire

Car-loving journalist Jeremy Clarkson won the hearts of the nation in 2021, when his Amazon Prime show Clarkson’s Farm was released.

The show gripped the nation and shined a spotlight on the trials and tribulations of British farming.

But the journalist is probably best known for his presenting days on Top Gear and The Grand Tour starring alongside fellow automotive enthusiasts Richard Hammond and James May.

But more than his love of lambs and Lamborghinis has seen the 64-year-old hit the headlines this week - as he was crowned the UK’s sexiest man.

It is the second year in a row the Top Gear presenter has held the prestigious accolade.

The strapping presenter has a lot in his favour. For starters, he’s 6ft 4 and pulls off a tweed coat very well (both essential features in a man.)

Born, April 11, 1960 the Aries king, actually has roots here in Derbyshire.

The privately educated TV star attended Repton School in Derbyshire before starting work as a salesman for his parents' business.
