What happened on Jeremy Clarkson’s new show?
The TV host made jokes about the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, quipping that she appeared to fart during her chat with Oprah – based purely on the look on the royal’s face.

He also joked men can’t enjoy period dramas like Bridgerton and poked fun at some of the police lingo in Line of Duty – saying the acronym ‘CHIS’ sounded like something a lot ruder.
Some viewers compared the show to the likes of Harry Hill’s TV Burp.
