Saturday Night Takeaway: Jeremy Clarkson ‘arrested’ in wild Ant and Dec prank as pair admit they thought they’d gone ‘too far’
The ITV series returned tonight for the first of a brand-new set of episodes, with plenty of celeb guests and surprises in store.
However, one person who certainly got more than they bargained for was Clarkson’s Farm host Jeremy, who was well and truly pranked by the Geordie duo.
After teasing the stunt earlier this week, the pair finally got to show off their handiwork after faking a protest – and arrests – on the site of his Diddly Squat Farm.
Ant and Dec both posed as protestors who argued soil ‘had feelings’ along with a bunch of actors who helped them on the day.
Dec previously admitted: ‘Jeremy has been on our undercover hitlist for years. When we saw Clarkson’s Farm we thought it would be the perfect opportunity.’
As Jeremy went up to check up on what was going on after a tip-off from his groundsman, he soon became embroiled in the chaos as things got continuously worse.
The protest included a naked man wreaking havoc, as well as Jeremy telling the protestors he thought their cause was ‘hilarious’ and they were ‘obviously unemployed.’
Things reached boiling point after Ant and Dec – in a very convincing disguise – got aboard a bulldozer full of soil, and threatened to tip it over his car.
However, the police (also actors) turned up at the scene and weren’t impressed by what they saw.
Jeremy, along with Ant and Dec, were all ‘arrested’ by the policing pair, which led to the former Top Gear star to use a range of expletives.
‘That is abusive behaviour,’ one of the so-called policemen told him.
But knowing things had reached a climax, the pair finally came clean, to a strangely impressed Jeremy.
Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway airs Saturdays from 7pm on ITV.
