Jeremy Clarkson admits he's 'fed up' after making major announcement

Jeremy Clarkson has admitted he and his crew are "fed up" after repeatedly missing out on victory at the National Television Awards. The Clarkson's Farm star, 64, revealed the Amazon Prime series has once again been nominated, telling his 9.4 million Instagram followers: "We've been nominated for the National TV Awards." But the dad-of-three quickly added his frustration on X, formerly known as Twitter, after fans vowed to vote him to victory: "Thank you. Our crews are getting fed up of losing this one."

Fans rushed to back him in the comments. One loyal supporter wrote: "Voted! Fingers crossed as it's the only bit of talent on tv at the moment." Another told him: "Voted. Been a fan of yours (@JeremyClarkson) for decades, literally. The entire family loves this show." A third added: "Voted Sir.... Fingers crossed you win this one," while another penned: "Voted and shared! Good luck x".

While the nomination for his hit Amazon Prime series is cause for celebration, the Grande Tour host has also been rocked by tough times on the farm land.

The presenter warned of a bleak year ahead, writing: "It looks like this year's harvest will be catastrophic. That should be a worry for anyone who eats food. If a disaster on this scale had befallen any other industry, there would be a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth."

Although Jeremy did not specify the exact cause, fans suggested Britain's unpredictable weather was once again to blame.

This isn't the first time his crops have been hit. In June, during the UK's scorching heatwave, he revealed in his Times column: "It used to be reasonably predictable, but it just isn't anymore. In March Diddly Squat had no rain at all. Not even a drop.

"In April we got 20mm, which in old money is bugger all. And so far in May we've had 4mm.

"You couldn't keep a window box going with a dribble like that. It's been drier than it was in 1976.

"And while we do have about thirty springs on the farm, they're all in the wrong places. So my onions and my beetroots are just sitting in the dust."

He went on: "The wheat, meanwhile, is curling up, the barley won't really get cracking at all and I dread to think what manner or terribleness is being foisted on my poor potatoes."

The latest blow comes just days after Jeremy revealed the death of an animal on his farm, adding to his growing list of struggles with livestock.

But there has been some joy for the Clarkson's Farm team. Kaleb Cooper, 26, welcomed his third child on August 18 after his fiancée, Taya, went into labour.

The couple, already parents to Oscar, born in 2021, and Willa, born in 2023, introduced their newborn son, Ashton, to fans on Instagram.
