Clarkson’s Farm star Jeremy Clarkson has shared an update on his Amazon Prime series
The former Top Gear host, who has turned his attention to farming life and brewing, has assured fans that “the show must go on” after previously suggesting that the reality programme could be taking a pause following the fifth series, due to air next year.
The star, 64, caused alarm among fans of the Amazon Prime show when he hinted that filming crews might not return to Diddly Squat farm for a bit. However, with production now wrapped for the forthcoming series, Jeremy has indicated that the show will definitely be back, reports the Mirror.
In his latest column, he wrote: “It’s likely that the brilliant guys who edit our show will find some nuggets of humour in the mix and that there’ll be some laughs in season five and in the relentless sunshine, the Cotswolds did look fantastic.”
He penned for The Sun: “But at the coalface it was knackering. Are we carrying on? Well, we’ve sent the cameras away to give us a break from that side of things for a while, but yup.”
“Kaleb’s out there now in his tractor and after I’ve finished writing this I’ll be joining him. The show goes on,” he said, reports the Daily Star.
The fifth series is anticipated to include some devastating scenes as Clarkson’s Oxfordshire farm was recently struck by an outbreak of bovine tuberculosis and was forced to enter lockdown, with operations ceasing for two months.
Bovine tuberculosis, a respiratory illness caused by bacteria, necessitates the euthanasia of all infected livestock. Sadly, one of his cows, pregnant with twins, tested positive.
The star recently opened up about the challenges he and his team faced while filming the upcoming fifth series of the hit Amazon Prime show.
However, fans hoping for another light-hearted dose of tractor mishaps, cuddly animals and countryside banter are in for a surprise. “It isn’t,” Jeremy said. “Because the last 12 months have been a conveyor belt of misery.”
Last week, the star revealed the cast and crew had wrapped filming for series five. He took to Instagram to share a photograph of himself alongside girlfriend Lisa Hogan and the entire Diddly Squat Farm team, including Kaleb Cooper, Charlie Ireland and Gerald Cooper.
Jeremy wrote beneath the image: “Season 5. It’s a wrap.”
