Jeremy Clarkson has threatened to throw in the towel on farming after finding himself covered head-to-toe in cow muck — including a mouthful of the stuff. The former Top Gear host got considerably more than he bargained for in one of the latest episodes of Clarkson's Farm, leaving him utterly horrified.
The television presenter is back for a fifth season of his hugely popular farming show, with Kaleb Cooper once again on hand to guide him through the ropes at his Diddly Squat farm in Oxfordshire. During one particularly memorable moment, Clarkson is assisting Kaleb with a castration procedure on a young calf — before everything goes spectacularly, horribly wrong.
As Clarkson reaches behind the calf, the animal suddenly unleashes a torrent of diarrhoea, drenching Clarkson's hands and the pliers he was clutching. "It's s**t all over me," he tells Kaleb, before the full extent of the damage becomes horrifyingly clear. "You've got it on your nose and everything," Kaleb laughs, as Clarkson exclaims: "I'm covered in diarrhoea!" He screams out: "A cow's s**t in my mouth!"
As Kaleb struggles to contain his hysterics, the grim incident proves a step too far for Clarkson, who promptly threatens to walk away from farming altogether. "That's it, f**k it, I'm going to London. I'm done, I'm going to London in a Bentley," he jokes. "I'm going to see my friend who worked in advertising, law and the theatre." He pretends to storm off as Kaleb erupts into laughter, while Clarkson is left spitting out anything in his mouth.
Viewers were howling at the incident, with one writing on X: "Clarkson's Farm - brilliant. I cried when @JeremyClarkson delivered a calf and laughed myself silly when one crapped on his face." "So funny," another agreed, as a third said: "'A cow s**t in my mouth!' I haven't laughed so hard in ages, another fantastic episode, but my God, watching that calf being born was tense. Great work by @JeremyClarkson, we felt every moment of that birth." Another laughed: "Clarkson getting cow s***e on his nose might be one of the funniest things I've seen on the tele." Yet another wrote: "I would like to thank @JeremyClarkson and #ClarksonsFarm for the best laugh I've had in quite a while, episode 5 ending absolutely hilarious," as someone else said: "Season 5 episode 5 of #ClarksonsFarm is by far the best in the entire series."
Clarkson's Farm is available to watch on Amazon Prime Video.
