Jeremy Clarkson has revealed Ellen DeGeneres is a local to his pub, The Farmer's Dog, in Burford. The 64-year-old presenter is returning to the screen to host a new celebrity series of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire… and is welcoming stars such as Tony Bellew, Stephen Fry, Fred Sirieix and Anton Du Beke to the hot seat.
But it's not just on-screen that Jeremy meets some of showbusiness’ most famous faces, as he also has A-listers popping into his Oxfordshire pub, The Farmer's Dog. Jeremy reveals he’s even had a visit from US star Ellen DeGeneres, who recently relocated to the UK. “She lives in the village where our pub is. Absolutely I welcome them all,” said Jeremy. “Everyone said she has been cancelled but she seemed nice when she came to the pub, the staff said she was very friendly and lovely. I am not going to believe what I read online. She seemed lovely.”.
Admitting there’s one person he’d really like to see on the show, Jeremy says Queen Camilla would be his top royal choice. “Camilla would be fantastic,” said Jeremy about members of the royal family taking on the quiz show. The series will also feature Jeanette Kwakye, Richie Anderson, Roxy Shahidi, Julie Hesmondhalgh, Steph McGovern, Dion Dublin, Lucrezia Millarini, Dame Laura Kenny, Krishnan Guru-Murthy, Louise Minchin.
Out of the celebrity line-up, Jeremy says it was former cruiserweight champ Tony who was the most nervous during the show. “I am not quite sure what emotion was going through him - nerves, rage, disappointment, acting, as I think he is a lot cleverer than he lets on. At one stage, he was having a class war with himself with the word ‘hobnob’,” Jeremy divulges.
