Jeremy Clarkson has weighed in on a debate over media behaviour.
The former Top Gear host has bashed Reform UK leader Nigel Farage for resigning as MP for Clacton.
His comments came after Farage announced his resignation as an MP on Tuesday, citing media “hounding” of his family as a factor, including journalists reportedly knocking on the door of a property where his daughter lives.
A social media user referenced the broadcaster in the context of the controversy, writing: “I wonder how Jeremy Clarkson would react to a pool of journalists turning up at his children's home and harassing them.
"Throw a few punches, in true Clarkson style, maybe?”
Mr Clarkson replied: "Well it's happened about 5,000 times over the years."
Ben Obese-Jecty, Conservative MP for Huntingdon, said: "Nigel Farage is complaining about The Times publishing a picture of this house, owned by him, that’s been in the public domain for over a decade after previously posing in front of it."

He also noted that images of Mr Farage outside the property had been publicly available for years, including one that showed the address plate.
Mr Farage posted CCTV footage on Tuesday showing an unidentified person approaching his daughters house at 7.41am.
He described himself as “the most physically and verbally attacked politician of all time.”
The Reform leader is being investigated by Parliament's standards committee following reports that long-term ally George Cottrell had provided undeclared funding for security and staffing in the year before he was elected.
Parliamentary rules state that donations received in the 12 months up to an MP securing election should be declared if they could have a bearing on their duties.
