Jeremy Clarkson confirms death at Diddly Squat Farm

The former Top Gear and Grand Tour star owns both a farm and a pub in the Cotswolds in West Oxfordshire.

Diddly Squat Farm, which he took over in 2008, can be found in Chadlington, while The Farmer’s Dog pub, which he opened in 2024, is in Asthall, near Burford.

These locations feature heavily in the popular Prime Video show Clarkson’s Farm, which first debuted in 2021.

Now with four successful seasons under its belt, the documentary will return with series five, with filming on that one having wrapped last September.

Despite fans’ building excitement for the new episodes, Mr Clarkson has revealed some heartbreaking news on the farm.

In an exclusive with The Sun, the 65-year-old is quoted as speaking about having to put down one of the farm’s donkeys.

Mr Clarkson said: “After seven months of lockdown, Diddly Squat farm became officially TB-free this week.

“But before we had a chance to celebrate, we found out that one of our donkeys has laminitis and must be put down.

“In farming, it seems you are allowed one bit of good news, but it must always be accompanied by some kind of disaster.”

Mr Clarkson recently gave fans an update on when they can expect to see the return of Clarkson’s Farm to screens.

Earlier this month, he was asked by a fan on social media site X: “Can you please clarify when the new series of the farm is starting?

“My son is doing my head in asking.”

Mr Clarkson responded: “May. I think. It’s not up to me.”
