A whole lotta rosé...
Jeremy Clarkson is blaming rosé wine after he piled back on more than the two stone he lost last year during lockdown.
The Grand Tour presenter ordered “500 cases of rosé” when the country came to a halt in March, and spent much of the quarantine period “just sitting in and drinking it”.
Sounds like quite a pleasant use of the time.
A health kick in 2019 saw the motoring fanatic take up cycling and shed two stone.
But as a result of his lockdown “hobby”, he admits: “It’s all back on – and a little bit more.”
As the second lockdown kicked in he said he would attempt to add some sort of “strategy” to his lockdown routine of “the massive drinking” of the first quarantine sessions, but couldn’t promise to cut down.
Jeremy, 60, took up cycling in 2018 during his “gap year to Indochina”, and rode 3km every day.
He said last year he earned his daily dose of wine by getting on his bike, and shed an impressive amount of weight before filming in Madagascar for the Grand Tour special, which goes online in December.
This year, due to lockdown restrictions, he has been unable to keep up the same level of cycl ing ( the drinking wasn’t so difficult to maintain) though he has been keeping active at his Cotswolds farm, Diddly Squat.
“There’s plenty to do on the farm,” he says of the work, which cameras have been chronicling.
“That’s what’s been keeping me busy over the past 12 months, filming the farm show.” Jeremy’s plans for a Russian Grand Tour special are currently on hold.
“I ’m sure we’ll get there one day,” he says. “I just hope I’m still a functioning human when that happens – and all my bits haven’t fallen off by then.” Grand Tour presents: A Massive Hunt, Dec 18, Amazon Prime Video.
Nicole Kidman’s social media posts were off the popularity scale ahead of tonight’s finale of The Undoing.
On this post of a scenic New York image, actress Elle Fanning echoed many others in the comments section.
Desperate to know who killed Elena in the Sky series, she pleaded: “WHO. DID. IT.”
Consummate professional Nicole revealed no spoilers.
But is that a clue? Was the murderer wearing a Slanket?
