Despite the 'threat ' , which her parents have joked about , Nancy appeared to be enjoying dinner with her family . The PM told the BBC : ‘ Nancy has threatened to go on hunger strike unless Jeremy Clarkson is restored . ‘ I ’ ve told her this is not necessarily a useful intervention . It ’ s not exactly Gandhi , we had a discussion about this this morning. ’ Samantha Cameron chipped in : ‘ Nancy ’ s hunger strike this morning lasted approximately five minutes ’ . The Prime Minister quipped : ‘ It ’ s between lunch and tea is the way it works. ’ During the interview , Mr Cameron and BBC Political Editor James Landale went to a local butcher near his constituency home in Witney , Oxfordshire . They then went back to Mr Cameron ’ s home where the PM was interviewed while preparing food in his kitchen .

Mr Cameron said it was very important to him that his children ‘ feel very rooted and grounded ’ in Oxfordshire . One of his children , he said , calls 10 Downing Street ‘ the pretend home ’ . The interview appeared to show Mr Cameron ’ s kitchen contains a red chopping board emblazoned with ‘ Calm Down Dear ’ The PM was accused of sexism in 2011 after using that slogan , taken from a TV advert , against Labour front bencher Angela Eagle . Mr Cameron has previously said his children would be ‘ heartbroken ’ if Top Gear was taken off air . When details of the incident emerged , he backed calls for Mr Clarkson to be reinstated . ‘ Because he is such a huge talent and he amuses and entertains so many people , including my children , who ’ d be heartbroken if Top Gear was taken off air , I hope this can be sorted out , ’ he said .
