Jeremy Clarkson has provided a shock update on the filming of his hit Amazon Prime series Clarkson’s Farm as an arctic storm looks set to engulf the UK.
The 65-year-old presenter is currently in the middle of a three month break from filming for the first time in 40 years.
Last month, the broadcaster admitted that he was ‘genuinely frightened’ about taking the time off.
But, following the news that eight inches of snow could hit the UK, the former Top Gear star has hinted that he might be returning to work much sooner than expected.
Speaking to The Sun, he said: ‘We’ve never had a rest, we wrap a series and immediately start again because farming doesn’t stop. You harvest and you’re immediately start drilling for the next year.
‘So, but this time Kaleb’s gone off to Australia, he’s filming down there at the moment, I was doing Millionaire Hot Seat and I really wanted to have a holiday because I haven’t had one in ages.
‘So we just said “ok well let’s just actually wrap it”…and then, I just said: “If it snows we’ll start filming again”. We’ll definitely do six – Amazon want to (do series six) and I want to. I’ve got a good idea for six.’
Forecasters have warned that Storm Goretti could dump several inches of snow on the UK from tomorrow as the cold weather shows no signs of stopping.
Also blanketing Britain today are yellow weather warnings for snow and ice.
On top of his Amazon Prime farming series on the Diddly Squat Farm, Jeremy also hosts Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? after he wrapped up The Grand Tour in 2024.
Last night, the first episode of his new spin-off series aired, which received some mixed reviews from audiences.
This came after he took aim at the BBC last week, revisiting his controversial exit from the corporation.
Writing in his newspaper column for The Times, Clarkson says that while many expect him to ‘launch into a tirade of abuse’ against the corporation because it ‘publicly let me go,’ he bears no grudge.
On the contrary, he claims his life has ‘improved immeasurably’ since leaving the BBC.
He wrote: ‘When I was there, I was seen as the ultimate bad boy,’ recalling how he was ‘forever’ in the papers, with producer Andy Wilman repeatedly being hauled in to answer for his behaviour.
At the time, he says, he was regarded as a serious problem even before he was let go for his involvement in an altercation with a producer in 2015.
But now, Clarkson argues that his controversies pale in comparison with what he describes as the far more serious scandals that have emerged at the BBC.
