He was invited in to discuss rural planning issues and what councils could do to help farmers diversify their business.

Clarkson was recently refused permission by Oxfordshire Council to expand his Diddly Squat Farm.

Sources said he and Mr Gove joked that his planning row may even boost Clarkson's Farm's ratings even higher.

One insider said: "A few of the directors in the department also got to meet him and were quite star struck."
