Jeremy Clarkson has teased what could be one of the most shocking moments yet on Clarkson's Farm, admitting a scene filmed for season six of the series "truly horrified" him. The broadcaster made the revelation on X after a fan joked about some of the more stomach-churning scenes already featured in the latest season of the Amazon Prime hit.
The viewer wrote: "Hi @JeremyClarkson. I'm a teacher and I decided to sit and watch all the new episodes of Clarkson's Farm whilst enjoying a leisurely lunch whilst on holiday. So far I've eaten watching a sheep autopsy and a very blocked toilet in the pub. Is the next episode any safer?"
Clarkson's reply suggests answer is no
Clarkson's reply suggested the answer is no. "We filmed a scene yesterday that truly horrified me," he wrote. "It's real farming and all my life, I just didn't know. The animal btw [by the way] loved it."
The 65-year-old stopped short of revealing exactly what had happened, leaving fans to speculate over what agricultural task could have left the famously outspoken presenter so shocked. His reassurance that "the animal btw loved it" only fuelled further curiosity, with many wondering whether the scene involved a little-known veterinary procedure or another aspect of livestock farming that rarely makes it onto television.
Fans react to the tease
One person replied: "Discounting what we HAVE already seen, the mind boggles…" And another person added: "Imagine the bits, that he wasn’t allowed to show us, maybe best not to eat whilst doing so."
The comment comes after fans were left gutted at the end of series five when Clarkson revealed to Kaleb Cooper and Charlie Ireland that he had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer and was not sure if he would be well enough to continue the hit Amazon Prime show. "I’m going to be here for a little while. I don’t know what’s going to happen," he told viewers. "What I wanted to say was if this is all successful, I’ll see you in season six, and if it isn’t, I won’t. Take care, everyone."
Clarkson now in remission
But now, the former Top Gear star has shared that he is in remission as he declared that he is "the world's luckiest man". He also confirmed that Clarkson's Farm will indeed be returning, putting an end to uncertainty about the show's future.
