Jeremy Clarkson has revealed that, despite six or seven years of farming, he still struggles with basic practical tasks on his Diddly Squat Farm. The 66-year-old former Top Gear star admitted he cannot attach anything to the back of a tractor or remember the sequence of buttons, calling it 'absolutely infuriating'.
Speaking ahead of the premiere of Clarkson's Farm season five, Clarkson told the Express: 'After six or seven years of farming, I still can't attach anything to the back of a tractor. I can't remember the sequence of buttons, I can't line anything up properly, and I don't know where the hydraulic hoses go. It disappoints me that I still have to get Kaleb to help. Anything practical, I can't do.'
The new season, which premieres on Amazon Prime Video on June 3, sees Clarkson attempt to banish tractors by trying a driverless tractor, much to the dismay of Kaleb Cooper. The synopsis reveals that amidst a government budget causing uproar in the farming community, Jeremy decides big changes are needed, including sending Kaleb abroad for the first time.
Earlier this year, Clarkson shared a 'disastrous' update about a tuberculosis outbreak among the farm's cows. The new trailer also shows Clarkson hospitalised after a heart condition, with him telling Kaleb: 'My heart wasn't getting any blood.' Clarkson later wrote in his Sunday Times column that he was 'days from death' last year.
Clarkson's Farm season five returns on June 3 on Amazon Prime Video.
