Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway returns this weekend, and it looks like presenter Jeremy Clarkson is the duo’s latest victim for one of their Undercover pranks.
In a first-look clip for the episode, the pair can be seen taunting the Grand Tour star as they stage a fake protest at his new farm.
When Clarkson arrives at his property, he sees a group of protestors waving sign boards around. Little does he know they’re being told what to do by Ant McPartlin, who is watching the entire thing from another location and feeding information to the actors at the scene.
“He looks very unimpressed,” Ant says as Clarkson gets out of his car to be met by a fake protestor.

“One of the things I know about soil is that you can’t hurt it,” Clarkson tells the woman after reading her sign, at which point Declan Donnelly, who is in disguise as a protestor at the scene, comically shouts out: “Maybe you should call a friend,” in reference to Clarkson’s role as the presenter of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?.
Clearly confused at what he’s witnessing, Clarkson pauses as Ant tells one of the protestors via a head piece to go and handcuff themselves to the presenter’s car.
