The 66-year-old former Top Gear host now presents on the hit Prime Video show Clarkson’s Farm, filmed at the former’s Chadlington farm in Oxfordshire, Diddly Squat.

Mr Clarkson has owned the spot since 2008, and Kaleb Cooper is his farmhand, with the pair running the day-to-day life on the farm.

There have been four series of the show so far with a fifth announced on Monday to debut on June 2.

But just before that Mr Clarkson and Mr Cooper will headline a brand-new national celebration of Britain’s farmers, their craft and their way of life, at the historic home of the Royal Show, Stoneleigh Park in Warwickshire.

The Great British Farm-Fest will bring together farmers, food lovers, families and festival goers for three unforgettable days of live music, working displays, livestock, machinery and mouth-watering food.

Joining the duo are Lisa Hogan, Kaleb Cooper, Charlie Ireland, Adam Henson and Matt Tebbutt, alongside dozens of farmers, musicians, chefs and rural artisans from across the UK.

Other legends to perform includes Britpop star and Kingham farmer Alex James, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Groove Armada.

Groove Armada’s Andy Cato has also starred in Clarkson’s Farm.

By day, visitors can explore a 300-acre country spectacular — eight show arenas, livestock competitions, tractor displays, traditional skills, working animals, field-to-fork experiences and a full-scale British Food Festival.

As dusk falls, the All-Star Tractor Parade will ignite the night, rolling straight into three evenings of live music and entertainment in the Hawkstone Music Arena.

Festival director Chris Hughes said: “There’s never been a more important time to celebrate our nation’s farmers, and never been a better moment for a great British festival that does just that.”

Interim chief executive Simon Crowther has corrected the record after wrong data around stillbirths experienced by mums in the trust’s care was presented to Oxfordshire County Council‘s health overview and scrutiny committee in January.

A stillbirth statistic from 2022 was “mistakenly” attributed to 2023 with an updated report sent to the committee the following month.

“All data have since been thoroughly checked,” Mr Crowther said in a letter to the county council’s committee.

“The trust regrets the mistake and has strengthened internal sign off processes to prevent future errors.”

He added: “We recognise and are deeply sorry for the distress this error may have caused to families and the committee.

“We acknowledge that accurate reporting is essential, and the trust acted promptly to correct the record.

“We remain committed to ensuring the accuracy and completeness of all data shared publicly and with families.”

Oxford University Hospitals Trust has been at the centre of a scandal involving its maternity services, primarily at the John Radcliffe.

Along with other trusts in the UK, OUH is being looked at as part of an independent review of its maternity services led by Baroness Amos.

Campaigners say this inaccuracy by the trust “normalises” the deaths under its care.

Alice Topping, who lost her baby at the John Radcliffe during labour in 2023, told the BBC: “Each baby who died, each figure, each statistic, they represent entire lifetimes lost.

“Treating them just as a statistic, it erases the immense pain and suffering.

“It represents a pattern of a normalisation of preventable deaths and a dismissal – a lack of accountability and acknowledgement. If OUH have learnt from this? We will see in the future.”

In June last year the health secretary Wes Streeting announced an independent review of maternity care to understand why “so many women and babies are receiving unacceptable levels of care”.

In Oxford, we have heard from mothers who have lost their babies in shocking circumstances.

One includes John Radcliffe patient Emma Cox whose baby was declared dead by hospital staff but was rejected by the mortuary because she was in fact still alive.

Data shows Oxford was an outlier for stillbirths in 2023, with a stillbirth rate of 3.6 per 1000 (0.36 per cent), the trust said.

This compared to a group average of 3.42 per 1000 (0.342 per cent), an absolute difference of 0.18 per 1000, or 0.018 per cent.

OUH said the data on stillbirth and perinatal mortality trends “do not suggest that Oxford is a significant outlier” nationally, but it recognises “profound significance of every perinatal death and the lasting impact on families”.

In recent weeks, prices soared and fluctuated with several pumps being closed up and down the country, including Oxfordshire.

This saw Oxford City Council leader Susan Brown describe the situation as a “fuel crisis”, warning of the financial impacts.

Similarly, Fatih Birol, executive director of the International Energy Agency (IEA) warned last week that Europe has “six weeks’ supply of fuel left”.

Now, Oxfordshire resident and TV presenter Mr Clarkson has waded in with a little dig during his latest column in The Sunday Times.

Speaking about his recent trip to Miami in the United States, the 66-year-old joked that he took the trip while there was still fuel left.

“And so, while Britain still has a dribble of jet fuel, I thought I’d pop to Miami to have a look for myself,” wrote Mr Clarkson.

In the article, the farmer praises the American city for a number of reasons, stating how it’s superior to life in the UK currently.

He wrote: “Miami feels like it’s been plugged into the mains, and I was coming home to a country where the roads look like they’ve been attacked by badgers, the police are useless, the taxes are ridiculous, the benefits are worse, the exhibits in every art gallery are covered in soup, the harbours are full of statues and the prime minister doesn’t know what a woman is (clue: it’s the sex of the person who’s going to replace you).”

Mr Clarkson is set to return to screens across the world soon with the upcoming and much-anticipated fifth series of Clarkson’s Farm.

The Prime Video documentary, filmed at his Diddly Squat Farm in Chadlington, originally debuted in 2021 to gushing reviews.

Three further seasons have followed, with this fifth edition having wrapped filming last September and is expected to be released next month.
