VIEWERS tuned into Clarkson’s Farm to see a far more sensitive side to Jeremy Clarkson than they may be familiar with.
The TV legend and Sun Columnist returned to Amazon Prime screens for the highly-anticipated third instalment of the popular show.
However, all is not well on Diddly Squat as the first episode of the new series shows Jeremy in complete anguish.
The 64-year-old star confessed he can no longer keep all his cows on the farm due to grave circumstances.
This was after the West Oxfordshire District Council ordered the star to close down the new restaurant he opened on the site.
He couldn’t help but get emotional when he saw his animals getting loaded onto the lorry one by one.
Jeremy remarked: “I’m finding today really quite sad as for the last year I’ve been opening the windows, opening the curtains in the morning and there are the cows. And I love that.
“Making cow noises. It just cheers my heart every morning to see them.”
He was speaking to Charlie, his land advisor and agent of the farm when he then enquired about what will happen to his beloved pet heifer Pepper.
But the aide warned the former The Grand Tour host as he hinted at a tragic future for the animal.
“I wouldn’t ask too many questions about Pepper. Don’t ask questions you don’t want to know the answers to.”
Jeremy completely taken aback by his comments as he was left practically speechless.
He simply said the words, ‘Oh Christ’, after an awkward moment of silence as the full realisation of the moment started to hit.
After a humorous home recording of the cows hijacking their garden was played, Jeremy then got even more emotional.
He and his wife Lisa Hogan stood side by side as the Lorry carrying their 13 cows made its way down the country lane to the butchers.
Showing a softer side to his personality, Jeremy looked visibly emotional as he wrapped his arm around her.
He then rested his head against her before turning to reveal the a look of anguish on his face.
They walked hand-in-hand back to their adobe on Diddly Squat Farm as the microphones caught Jeremy further sounding emotional as he fought back tears.
The former Top Gear presenter instantly loved the animal during the second series of the hit show.
This was after he was asked to take care of the cow by Rosie, the five-year-old daughter of the previous owner.
Jeremy previously hinted at tragedy with Pepper in the upcoming highly-anticipated instalment.
In an exclusive interview, we previously enquired about the well-being of the heifer and the connection he shared with her.
However, he ominously told us: “I soon wish I hadn’t … You’ll find out in the next series.”
“Oh God, is she dead?,” we asked.
To which Clarkson replied: “Well, you’ll find out in the next series.”
