A Clarkson’s Farm Star has been left “furious” with Jeremy Clarkson ahead of the new series.
The former Top Gear and Grand Tour host fronts the Amazon Prime show about farming his 1,000 acre spot in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds.
Mr Clarkson bought Diddly Squat farm, between Chadlington and Chipping Norton, in 2008 but only started to farm it in 2019.
The series, which will debut for the fifth series on June 3, was an instant hit with viewers and has become Amazon’s biggest show.
It stars the 66-year-old journalist’s partner Lisa Hogan, young farmhand Kaleb Cooper, head of security Gerald Cooper, land agent Charlie Ireland, Witney builder Alan Townsend and many more.
Speaking ahead of the new series, Mr Clarkson admitted Mr Cooper had been left “furious” with the star.
Series five of Clarkson’s Farm will see the farmer introduce a breed of EasyCare sheep to Diddly Squat.
Mr Clarkson said: “In the first series, I was with the sheep constantly during lambing, terrified there’d be a breech birth or something awful. EasyCare sheep just get on with it.
“Kaleb was absolutely furious when I bought them and spent weeks saying I’d got it wrong.
“They’re hard to round up and incredibly strong. But then I noticed the other day that he’s quietly bought 30 for himself.”
In series five of Clarkson’s Farm, Mr Clarkson has a major health scare and is instructed to take a step back from work on the farm.
But with the farming community marching in protest of the government’s budget, this proves to be very difficult.
Mr Clarkson also decides to welcome EasyCare sheep, a new breed which require minimal shepherding and veterinary care and even shed their own fleece in the summer, and upgrade Diddly Squat Farm with hi-tech gear, and takes a rather baffled Mr Cooper on his first-ever trip abroad to see how it’s done.
Leaving robot tractors in charge, all is well for a while, until things turn dark, chaos erupts, and bad luck strikes from every direction.
