Jeremy Clarkson has teased a scene in the upcoming sixth series of Clarkson's Farm that left him “truly horrified”. The 66-year-old former Top Gear host is currently filming for the Prime Video series, after series five saw him reveal a cancer diagnosis.
With episodes not expected to air until 2027, Clarkson responded to a fan on X on Wednesday (July 22). The fan said they had been watching the new episodes while eating lunch and were shocked by graphic farming content.
“So far I’ve eaten watching a sheep autopsy and a very blocked toilet in the pub. Is the next episode any safer?” they asked. Another follower responded: “Wait until you see the calf being born. Don’t watch it while eating.”
Clarkson's Hint
Clarkson then offered a hint about the new series, saying: “We filmed a scene yesterday that truly horrified me. It’s real farming and all my life, I just didn’t know. The animal btw loved it.”
First airing in 2021, Clarkson's Farm follows the TV personality as he attempts to run Diddly Squat farm near Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire. The show has been a critical and commercial hit, with series five arriving in June.
Cancer Diagnosis
In the final episode of series five, Clarkson revealed he had been diagnosed with an “aggressive” form of prostate cancer, but caught it at a “really early stage”. “I was praying we could get the harvest done and then I could go and get some treatment, but it’s going to be slap bang in the middle,” he told co-star Kaleb Cooper.
The episode ended with Clarkson saying: “What I wanted to say was, if this is all successful, I’ll see you for season six. And if it isn’t, I won’t. Take care, everyone.” He later revealed his cancer is in remission, urging the public to get checked.
“It’s not uncomfortable, it’s not undignified. And it’s a no-brainer,” he said. “I did, and that’s why I’m sitting here talking to you 11 months down the line. I’ve seen so many people die of cancer.”
Following his diagnosis, more than 50,000 people used charity Prostate Cancer UK’s online risk checker in a week, a 640 per cent increase. An estimated 64,000 men in Britain are diagnosed with prostate cancer each year, with 12,000 deaths.
