Clarkson's Farm star teases filming update after 'devastating' news

Lisa Hogan, partner of Clarkson's Farm star Jeremy Clarkson, has hinted at a season five filming update while celebrating some "good" news.

The farming teamhas faced a challenging time recently as Top Gear star Clarkson, 65, disclosed just days ago that his Oxfordshire farm, Diddly Squat, had been struck with bovine tuberculosis.

Adding to their troubles, he later announced the sad news that one of the puppies born to his dog Arya had died.

"Bad news from Diddly Squat. We've gone down with TB. Everyone here is absolutely devastated," he initially shared on X.

"We're now locked down and it's just dreadful, absolutely dreadful," he subsequently added, confirming Diddly Squat will be closed for at least two months before they can conduct another test, though the farm shop would remain "unaffected" by the lockdown, reports Gloucestershire Live.

Meanwhile, Lisa has been keeping fans informed about the remaining puppies, and recently shared a farming update on Instagram.

Alongside a video of a combine harvester with a picture of what seemed to be a filming crew by the tractors at the end, she penned: "Good day, very good day in the office."

One fan queried if Clarkson's Farm star Gerald would be handling the harvest this year, to which Lisa responded: "All will be revealed..."

"How is the harvest this year?" another enquired, with Lisa replying: "Scorched."

"Great work to all Cotswold farmers. I recently captured harvest for a nearby farm was amazing," another fan commented.

One fan reminisced: "I remember that feeling of satisfaction seeing the combine going up and down the field. A job well done!".

Another viewer commented: "I've just watched episode 8 from last year so hopefully this harvest is better for you."

Last November, Clarkson revealed the upcoming fifth season of his popular show during a Bonfire night celebration, with drones lighting up the sky in the background.

He declared: "Over the years, bright lights in the sky have been used to make many important announcements – the birth of baby Jesus, for example."

As the drones formed the number five, he added: "But tonight, they're being used to make an announcement that's even bigger than that. Season 5 of Clarkson's Farm is coming."

However, he later hinted at a potential hiatus before the sixth season.

Speaking to The Times, he admitted: "Whatever happens we'll definitely take a short break as the crews are all worn out.

"We've been filming here two or three days a week, every week, for five years. Everybody could do with a rest."
