Jeremy Clarkson's Saturday Night Takeaway prank has him swearing at police after being 'arrested'

Jeremy Clarkson launched into a foul mouth rant at fake police officers as being pranked by Ant and Dec for Saturday Night Takeaway.

The infamously hot tempered TV star was the first Undercover victim of the ITV's new series as it kicked off this weekend.

Following in the footsteps of other targets like Bradley Walsh and Cat Deeley, the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire host was completely oblivious to Ant and Dec' s devious plan, which saw them stage a mock soil protest at his farm.

As Jeremy arrived on site with girlfriend Lisa, who was in on the whole thing, he was greeted by actors carrying placards.

As he tried to make sense of why they were there and tried to patronise them, Dec, disguised as one of the activists, shouted: "Why don't you phone a friend?!" as Ant laughed away in a hidden production base.

Things took a turn when one of the protesters handcuffed themselves to Jeremy's car, before a load of manure was tipped onto it.

The fake police who acted like they had been called out to the incident, pretended to arrest some of the protesters, before one of them turned to former Top Gear star Jeremy and told him he was also being arrested for 'a breach of the peace.'

On being informed of that, an exasperated Jeremy turned the air blue as the protesters cheered in the background.

As the bleep machine went into overdrive, the officer then told Jeremy that his bad language constituted 'abusive behaviour', before Ant finally stepped in to reveal all.

He said: "You can't arrest him. You're not a police officer and we're not protesters," before Dec pulled down his mask to add: "Because he's on Saturday Night Takeaway!"

After ordering that someone cleaned his car up, Jeremy told Ant and Dec: "Very good!" before turning to other half Lisa and joking: "I should have known something was wrong when you got up early this morning!"
