Jeremy Clarkson admits show’s crew are getting ‘fed up’ as he addresses major Clarkson’s Farm achievement amid harvest turmoil
The former Top Gear star has cause for celebration following a tumultuous time om his farm of late
Jeremy Clarkson has announced that his Amazon Prime series Clarkson’s Farm has secured a nomination for the National Television Awards 2025.
The 65-year-old broadcaster shared the news with his 9.4 million Instagram followers yesterday morning, posting an image of the agricultural documentary alongside the message: “We’ve been nominated for the National TV Awards.”
The programme, which follows Clarkson’s farming endeavours at Diddly Squat Farm in Chadlington, Oxfordshire, is competing in the Factual Entertainment category.
The nomination arrives as welcome news for the presenter, who recently faced disruptions to filming the show’s fifth series due to politician JD Vance’s visit to the Cotswolds, which imposed a no-fly zone around Dean Manor in Chipping Norton.
The agricultural documentary faces stiff competition from four other programmes vying for the Factual Entertainment award. Gogglebox, Stacey & Joe, The Martin Lewis Money Show Live, and Sort Your Life Out complete the list of nominees for this year’s category.
When a supporter commented on X that they had voted for the show after being a fan for decades, Clarkson revealed the production team’s frustration with previous award ceremonies.
“Thank you. Our crews are getting fed up of losing this one,” the presenter responded.
Clarkson’s comments highlight the fact that the programme has been overlooked at past National Television Awards despite its considerable popularity and viewing figures since launching in 2021.
In a bid to rally support for the show, Clarkson has issued an unusual ultimatum to potential voters. Writing on Instagram, he warned: “We’ve been nominated for an award. If we don’t win, Richard Ham gets it.”
