Clarkson’s Farm fans have told Jeremy Clarkson to “enjoy every moment” after he took to Instagram with a rare snap alongside his granddaughter.
Clarkson became a grandfather for the first time last year when his daughter Emily gave birth to her daughter Arlo and the Clarkson clan are currently soaking up the sun in the south of France.
Emily often shares candid updates about adapting to motherhood and life with the young tot – especially now she’s expecting her second child with husband Alex.
The Grand Tour host Clarkson, however, tends to keep his family life out of the public eye, predominantly using his social media channels to share updates from Diddly Squat.
But over the weekend, Clarkson bucked this trend as he shared a sweet post with the youngster while they enjoyed a day at the beach on holiday.
Similarly to his daughter’s posts, Clarkson hid his granddaughter’s face out of view but the image included a silhouette of the pair’s shadows against the sand.
Clarkson included a short four-word yet heartwarming caption alongside the update, writing: “Grand daughter. Perfect day.”
Inevitably, hundreds of fans reacted to the update and while several spotted the chance for a Richard Hammond joke, others encouraged Clarkson to cherish these moments with his family.
“Grandkids make everything better,” one fan commented in response, followed by a love heart emoji.
A second echoed: “Grandchildren are just the best, enjoy every moment, make special memories they are a total joy.”

“Granddaughters make the world make sense,” a third added before a fourth weighed in: “Grandchildren make everything better, enjoy your day.”
“Perfect picture..treasure this,” another urged before a sixth jokingly quipped: “You’ve turned into a softie in your old age.”
Clarkson referenced the fact he’d become a grandfather in the third season of Clarkson’s Farm but besides that, he tends to stay tight-lipped about his children.
However, earlier this year he did reveal that he had concerns about the future of Diddly Squat once he passes it on to his children – due to the fact none of them want to run the farm.
In an interview with the Guardian, his partner Lisa Hogan remarked that Clarkson’s three children – Emily, Finlo and Katya whom he shares with ex-wife Frances Cain – would want to cash in.
Clarkson chipped in: “I keep telling them, ‘Listen, when I’m dead, I don’t want you to sell it’.
However, he explained that his pleas seemed to have fallen on deaf ears as he followed up: “They look at me like, ‘Are you joking?'”
For now, Clarkson is still at the helm of Diddly Squat and fans can expect to see more hijinks from the farm when the Amazon series returns for its fourth run.
However, as well as the weather wreaking havoc on his crops, Clarkson and his team recently had to halt filming on the fourth run while at his newly purchased pub.
The MailOnline reported that disruption caused by military aircraft nearby provided an obstacle to the show’s filming schedule.
