Former Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson 62 has revealed Kaleb Cooper met his most recent moral dilemma on Diddly Squat Farm with a chorus of tutting noises and oh for Gods sake in disapproval. However Jeremy couldnt get over his guilt when he discovered a tiny mouse was trapped in the frame of his seed drill last week. Kaleb urged Jeremy not to worry about the creature as the spring barley needed to be planted without delay. The car enthusiast admitted I couldnt go out into the fields and unfurl this enormous machine  its like an oil rig only bigger and more complicated — knowing that a sweet little mouse was in there. And that in all probability it wouldnt survive.

Kaleb was staggered by this and pointed out that the whole farmyard is littered with mouse and rat traps.

A sickening nine inches. A crunchy nine inches.
He added And so with a heavy heart I let the clutch in and set off knowing that after the tyre had done a quarter of a rotation a small red splodge would become visible. Luckily for Jeremy his hopes that the mouse would survive the dangerous situation paid off as the animal sensibly headed for the hills as soon as his tractor moved while narrowly avoiding being stamped on by Kalebs brother. It isnt the first time that Jeremy has been reduced to guilty emotions over his new job as a farmer.
