His crazy stunts on Top Gear and The Grand Tour were often world firsts, and the upcoming series of Clarkson’s Farm will see another one – Jeremy crying actual tears.
The petrolhead-turned-son of the soil and his girlfriend Lisa Hogan focus their efforts on rearing pigs, only to watch the tragedy of them perishing in large numbers.
Though he’s fearlessly navigated some tricky situations in his broadcasting career, the new series shows Jeremy looking utterly bereft.
He said: “It was just a heartbreaking time. I’d never, ever seen Lisa cry, not once, until all this started and was unfolding. It was terrible."
The new, eight-part series of Clarkson’s Farm arrives on Prime Video on May 3 after the first two outings were huge hits for the streamer.
Jeremy’s farm helpers — including trusty sidekick Kaleb Cooper — are all back, along with Lisa running the farm shop.
As with so many of his attempts at farming, he isn’t entirely successful, but even his constant critic Kaleb admits he does a pretty good job.
