The Oxfordshire-based farmer and TV host is set to take to the stage at the maiden Great British Farm-Fest at NAEC Stoneleigh, Warwickshire, from Friday, May 22 to Sunday, May 24.

Mr Clarkson, Kaleb Cooper, Lisa Hogan, Charlie Ireland, and Adam Henson will take to the stage for a unique blend of farm chat and competitions.

Music acts include Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Groove Armada, Blur’s Alex James, who also lives in Oxfordshire, and Radio X star Chris Moyles.

The Daily Star previously reported that Mr Clarkson “hopes to rival Glastonbury” with the new festival.

Chris Hughes, festival director of The Great British Farm-Fest, told the national publication: “Jeremy has become a massive, positive driving force for British agriculture over the last few years.

“What he has done with his farm has really opened people’s eyes to the reality of the industry, highlighting just how incredibly hard the work is, but also how rewarding and vital it is to our country.

“Partnering with him felt like a no-brainer because we both want to celebrate that grit and passion in a way that is fun and accessible.”

A description of the festival said: “Think Glastonbury meets the Royal Show.”

Previously, Mr Hughes said: “We want to showcase the incredible talent of the British farming industry in a way that’s never been done before.

“By pairing legendary farmers and TV favourites with world-class DJs and rock stars, we are delivering three days of unforgettable parties that put the heart of the countryside centre stage.”

The 53-year-old lives on the Oxfordshire border near Banbury in a £9.2m mansion with the former Red Bull racing boss.

Mr Horner had been team principal at Red Bull since 2005, overseeing eight drivers’ world championships and six constructors’ titles.

But this all came to an end last year when his team let him go mid-season over performance relating to the team.

Prior to that, Mr Horner had also been locked at the centre of allegations of inappropriate behaviour, which he was later cleared of.

This week, Hello! magazine has published quotes from Ms Halliwell talking about her marriage to the former Red Bull boss.

“We walk the dogs together, we like walking. I bought him a goldendoodle for his birthday. I hid the puppy in a phone box and handed it to him,” she revealed, originally to the Sunday Times.

“We’re very much old-school and family-focused. He loves doing barbecues – it’s a real man thing. He’s very tidy. I might leave things around, which makes him a bit cross.”

The Spice Girl also revealed the couple’s TV habits, adding that Severance was one of their recent watches together.

“We’ll find a TV series that we lock into. I’ll try my best not to watch it when he goes away. I waited for him before finishing Severance,” added Ms Halliwell.

“We like playing games too. The other day, in the kitchen, we were playing 20 questions – you’ve got to guess what the object is. We’re quite silly.”

Theo Hopkins, who lives in Oxford, said his life has improved as a result of new traffic restrictions now in place.

Drivers without permits or exemption are now fined if they pass through six congestion charge points in the city, and there are other measures in place controlling traffic, including LTNs (Low Traffic Neighbourhoods).

Mr Hopkins said Andrew Gant, who stood down as the county’s transport boss earlier this month after four years in charge, deserves special recognition “for the benefit he has brought to society”.

He said in a letter: “As an octogenarian with mobility problems I would like to thank Andrew Gant, the retiring lead at Oxfordshire County Council for transport, for his visionary provision of LTNs and 20mph urban speed limits in Oxford.

“These make my trips (or to be honest, ‘shuffles’) to the shops and the health centre safer and more pleasant.

“Further, seeing the non-stop, vociferous and personal attacks on social media that he has courageously fended off, I suggest he is awarded a knighthood for the benefits he has brought to society.

 “Sir Andrew Gant would sound good.”

Anyone can be nominated for a UK knighthood or damehood, provided they have made a major, inspirational contribution to national life, usually over a long period, or achieved something exceptional.

Nominations are open to all, including non-British citizens (who receive honorary awards), but nominees must still be actively involved in their field.

Anyone can submit a nomination for another person but you cannot nominate yourself.

Mr Gant, former cabinet member for transport management, was in charge of the introduction of the heavily debated zero emission zones and the temporary Oxford congestion charge.

The congestion charge points are set to become traffic filters at the end of August when the Botley Road reopens, following the completion of Network Rail work linked to improvements for Oxford rail station.

Mr Gant has been hit with personal attacks on social media throughout his time in office, including upon his departure.

He said earlier the abuse he received was “not reasonable in a democracy”, adding “it’s unpleasant, it’s unnecessary, it’s unhelpful and I wish it didn’t happen”.

He said: “You have to develop strategies as an individual, and mine is just not to read them.

“I don’t engage with social media at all, I just don’t, that’s been my strategy – and it’s worked.”

He stated that the personal hate “makes no contribution of any kind to the policy” adding, “if those people think that they’re somehow affecting the debate, they’re not”.

Asked if this had an impact on his choice to step away from the role, he said it had, explaining: “it’s a very demanding role for all sorts of reasons, and that is one of the things that makes it demanding, so yes, in a word”.

One of the highlights of Mr Gant’s time in charge of the roads was seeing new electric buses on the streets.

The Liberal Democrat remains a county councillor and represents the Wolvercote and Cutteslowe division. He is also a city councillor for Cutteslowe & Sunnymead.

Mr Gant said he would comment later on Mr Hopkins’ suggestion that he should be awarded a knighthood.
