Jeremy Clarkson has left his fans feeling a little overwhelmed after the TV star confessed to renting out a pig for, well, you can imagine
Jeremy Clarkson left followers concerned on Sunday after disclosing that production had halted at his agricultural venture.
The 65 year old broadcaster boasts a devoted following eager to witness his farming exploits, which are documented on film.
His Amazon Prime series, Clarkson’s Farm, broadcast its fourth series earlier this summer.
Production crews have been present at his property capturing footage for the forthcoming fifth series, but filming ceased over the weekend.
Writing on X, previously Twitter, Jeremy confirmed that recording had been suspended before startling supporters by detailing his weekend agricultural duties, reports the Mirror.
It transpired that facilitating pig breeding topped his agenda.
The television personality posted online: “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.”
Supporters were taken aback by the revelation, with numerous individuals expressing astonishment and curiosity in response to Jeremy’s announcement.
One replied, stating: “Glad you stopped the filming at this stage, then.”
A further follower commented: “How does one move from cars to pig pimpery? It doesn’t seem a natural transition.”
Whilst another remarked: “Thank you, Jeremy. That will be all. We’re trying to enjoy our Sunday bacon and eggs here.”
Pig breeding represents a lucrative enterprise within the agricultural sector, with boar owners able to hire out their animals to farmers for potentially hundreds of pounds to mate with sows.
Farmers can levy charges per sow when their boar is hired out, whilst the British pork sector is reportedly valued at more than £14 billion.
This follows Jeremy and Kaleb Cooper discussing a gruesome find at Diddly Squat Farm after they discovered half an ear.
During a game of ‘Who Said That’ on Amazon Prime’s YouTube channel, Jeremy, Kaleb, and Jeremy’s partner Lisa Hogan were trying to work out who had said: “The only thing they won’t eat is teeth”.
They then remembered a disturbing incident where a piglet had been consumed by its mother.
After establishing that Lisa had uttered the remark, Jeremy interrupted, clarifying it related to “the very first piglet we had”.
Lisa replied: “Half an ear she left as well.”
Jeremy added: “If she hadn’t left half an ear we wouldn’t have known what had happened, we just would have thought it escaped. When you find half an ear, you know.”
This represents yet another difficult animal-related predicament Jeremy has faced since transitioning to full-time farming in 2019.
Earlier this month, the former Top Gear host, 65, revealed he was compelled to put down the first calf born at Diddly Squat after a tuberculosis outbreak. Sharing a photograph of a cow on Instagram, Jeremy penned: “This was the first calf ever born at Diddly Squat. And this morning she was destroyed, while pregnant with twins, because she has TB. So sad.”
The devastating blow marks the most recent challenge facing Jeremy’s farming enterprise in recent months as he attempts to turn the 1,000 acre operation into a profitable business, as documented in Amazon Prime’s Clarkson Farm series.
Jeremy disclosed that his farm had been struck by a TB outbreak during the summer, cautioning followers that culling could be required to halt further transmission.
