Daddy's girl! Jeremy Clarkson has admitted having to step in to stop his daughter Emily, 23, from being arrested after she fired expletives at a US airport worker during a family holiday in Nevada when she was just 18

Despite being 18 - which is the legal US smoking age - Emily was outraged after a member of staff asked for proof of age because there was also a gaming machine in the lounge, conflicting with the state's 21+ gambling laws. 

Jeremy confessed: 'A woman came in and said: "I need to see some ID, ma'am. There's a gaming machine in this room." Em listened to this and said: "Oh, f**k off." I thought: "This is not going to end well.'" 

'The next thing, three policemen had carted her off and she was in a bit of a panic. I had to step in. I did my usual "Our young men and your young men" speech, where I go on about our great countries havi ng fought together for freedom - even the freedom to have a cigarette. It always works with policeman.

Proud: Jeremy and his eldest daughter boast an incredibly close relationship, with the former Top Gear host gushing that he is 'lucky' to have had such a 'perfect child' 

The former Top Gear star continued: 'They put their hands on their hearts, stand upright and then they let you go. I've got away with lots of speeding tickets with that speech. But telling everyone in America to f**k off when they've got a uniform on never ends well. She knows that now.'

Jeremy's shock confession comes just days after the motoring specialist was joined by ex-wife Frances Cain on Thursday evening as the former couple helped Emily celebrate the launch of her first book.

Clarkson looked understandably proud after joining Emily â€" one of three children with second wife Frances â€" at Daunt Books in London, where she was promoting her new release Can I Speak to Som eone in Charge?

Cheerily posing for pictures alongside Emily and his former wife â€" who he divorced in 2015 â€" Clarkson was in high spirits while helping his daughter launch the book, described by critics as ‘a fresh, modern take on feminism and life.’ 

Writing candidly about her struggle with weight in her new book, Emily revealed her desire to be thin was so strong that she would compare her body with those of her classmates who had not started puberty, and curse hers for not looking like theirs.

She wrote: ‘I used to squeeze my eyes shut, cross my fingers and wish that when I woke up in the morning I would be thin. I did this every single night.

'Eve ry day I would look at my reflection and grimace. Sometimes I would look at it and cry.

‘I would grab fat rolls on my stomach and squeeze them together so tightly there were finger marks.

‘There were times when I was so unhappy that after eating I would cry to the point where I was sick.’
