Jeremy Clarkson's Diddly Squat shop has shut its doors following the backlash for the comments he made about Meghan Markle.
The Top Gear presenter, 62, wrote a column detailing his hatred of the Duchess of Sussex where he said he dreamed about her being 'paraded naked through the streets' while people 'throw lumps of excrement at her'.
Ipso said the piece, which was taken offline last week at Jeremy's request, had received more than 17,500 complaints as of 9am on Tuesday 20 December – rising to 20,800 by 5pm - a record number for a newspaper article.
Clarkson has since broken his silence on the furore admitting a mistake, but didn't apologise to Meghan personally.
A week later, Diddly Squat Farm's Instagram page has notified fans of plans to close.
The post's caption read that the shop would now stay shut after Christmas until February 10th.
The usually outspoken Clarkson has remained noticeably silent on his social media since admitting he had 'rather put his foot in it' with his Meghan Markle comments.
Breaking his silence on the backlash, Jeremy told his 7 million followers: "Oh dear. I’ve rather put my foot in it. In a column I wrote about Meghan, I made a clumsy reference to a scene in Game of Thrones and this has gone down badly with a great many people.
"I’m horrified to have caused so much hurt and I shall be more careful in future."
A host of TV stars such as Carol Vorderman, John Bishop and Kathy Burke were quick to condemn the newspaper column at the time.
Clarkson's own daughter Emily, a podcaster who campaigns against online abuse, also joined the growing numbers of stars speaking out about the vitriol.
"I stand against everything that my dad wrote about Meghan Markle," declared Emily.
A spokeswoman for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry said t he apology made by The Sun was 'nothing more than a PR stunt'.
The statement said: "A true apology would be a shift in their coverage and ethical standards for all.
"Unfortunately, we’re not holding our breath."
After receiving backlash for the column, The Sun said they were 'sincerely sorry' for publishing it.
In a statement, the newspaper said: "Columnists’ opinions are their own, but as a publisher, we realise that with free expression comes responsibility.
"We at The Sun regret the publication of this article and we are sincerely sorry."
Jeremy previously acknowledged an error but instead of making a full apology, he said he had "rather put my foot in it".
