Jeremy Clarkson 'frightened' as he takes first filming break in 40 years

Jeremy Clarkson has admitted he is 'genuinely frightened' about taking a break from filming for the first time in four decades, following the success of his Amazon Prime series 'Clarkson's Farm'. The 65-year-old broadcaster, known for 'Top Gear' and 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?', has been filming two to three days a week for five years.

Clarkson revealed that production on 'Clarkson's Farm' will pause after the fifth series, which is expected to air next spring. He said the crews are 'worn out' and need a rest. However, he confessed his anxiety about the hiatus, stating: 'I'm genuinely frightened because until March, I won't be filming a TV show for the first time in forty years. That will be three months of sh*t.'

He is currently preparing for his new ITV quiz show 'Millionaire Hot Seat', based on the Australian format, which features six competitors in a revolving 'hot seat'. Clarkson also provided an update on his health, revealing he has lost three stone since January after a health scare in October 2024 that required emergency surgery and a stent. He said he feels more energised and walks further.
