Jeremy Clarkson has left fans of his Prime Video series blushing as he admitted to putting filming on hold for an outrageous reason.
The former Top Gear host took to his social media over the weekend to reveal that Clarkson’s Farm had halted filming on a new series for a few weeks.
The programme, which was launched in 2021, follows Jeremy, 65, his wife Lisa Hogan and farming staff as they battle against the elements on Diddly Squat Farm.
And it’s due to return for more episodes on Prime Video soon, after Jeremy confirmed that a fifth series has been in the works following high demand from viewers.
But Jeremy has pressed pause on the cameras being around the farm as he begins the pig breeding season.
Leaving his following red-faced and joking ‘what he gets up to on the weekends is his business, the TV presenter explained he’d ‘rented’ out one of the animals for ‘sexual purposes’.
Jeremy penned: ‘Filming at Diddly Squat has stopped for a little while, but the farming goes on. Today, I have rented out a pig for sexual purposes.’
Replying to the message, one fan penned: ‘Glad you stopped the filming at this stage, then, as a second joked: ‘Thank you, Jeremy. That will be all. We’re trying to enjoy our Sunday bacon and eggs here.’
A third wrote: ‘What you get up to at the weekend is your own business,’ while a fourth said: ‘How does one move from cars to pig pimpery? It doesn’t seem a natural transition…’
A fifth added: ‘Wild. That’s definitely a unique rental! Farming life sure knows how to keep things interesting,’ as a sixth concluded: ‘Just as well the cameras are off-site.’
It comes after Clarkson’s Farm fans were left pleading with host Jeremy for more after he took to social media to issue an update on the latest series of his show.
The fourth series, which won a National Television Award for Best Factual Entertainment earlier this year, broke viewing records thanks to its popularity.
Jeremy went on to confirm that filming had finished for its upcoming instalment, with co-star Kaleb, 27, back on screen after taking a series off to go on tour.
Sitting around a campfire with his co-star, wife, land agent Charlie and farmhand Gerald in a picture posted to Instagram, the TV presenter wrote to fans: ‘Season 5, it’s a wrap.’
Fans flooded the comments to celebrate the news, as well as plead with Jeremy and the team behind the show to ‘keep going’ with more series.
One viewer penned: ‘This is the only show I want to see 20 seasons of,’ while a second added: ‘I hope you never stop filming Clarkson’s Farm, Jeremy, even when you’re eighty-hundred and a million ten, it’ll still be bloody brilliant.’
‘Get to Series 10’, a third wrote, while a fourth begged: ‘Please, don’t stop’.
‘Please just film all year round,’ a fifth chimed in. ‘Have a spring/summer series, winter/spring series, I know your entitled to a private life but frankly I don’t care.’
Earlier this year, the Top Gear host revealed there were plans to rest the popular show after Jeremy had been tied up in a busy seven-year filming schedule.
Nonetheless, he raised a National Television gong for the series, proving its continued popularity among viewers.
The former Top Gear presenter was triumphant as Clarkson’s Farm scooped the prize for Best Factual Entertainment, beating out strong competition from Stacey Solomon – who had not one but two shows nominated in the same category.
Both Sort Your Life Out and Stacey & Joe were up for the award, but despite double the odds, the Loose Women star left empty-handed.
Taking to the stage at the O2 Arena, Jeremy thanked the audience before joking about his trousers slipping down, explaining it was due to taking the diabetes drug Mounjaro.
During his acceptance speech, Jeremy said: ‘Farming is a difficult job and I appreciate the way people are going, ‘I didn’t know where my sausages came from’.
‘You don’t love farming, you love moments of it, it is really tricky right now.
‘Farmers work so hard for no money so it’s delightful that people recognise a farming show can beat a house cleaning show. We shall go and have a drink.’
Jeremy then went on to thank the public for voting for their show and his fellow farmers for working ‘incredibly hard’ name checking several people on the stage.
