He discovered the animals were missing when he went to count his flock with his co-star Kaleb Cooper. Speaking on the sheep theft, Jeremy admitted: “It’s a forgone conclusion you ate one last night. Someone stole them. “They’re not on the farm, there’s no blood and guts there. They’re breeding ewes, that’s £2,000 of sheep so it’s genuinely annoying. Most read in TV “Farmers are armed so I don’t know why people have felt like that.” The broadcaster also opened up on his health after his cancer diagnosis featured in episode seven of the last series of Clarkson’s Farm. “It was annoying. I had a heart thing and a bit of cancer. We live in a time where doctors can fix you very quickly,” explained Jeremy. “Caleb was annoyed when I came back after two weeks. I missed the harvest.” Jeremy then made clear that him and his co-stars won’t be partying to celebrate their win tonight as he’s got a farm to run. He added: “The entire choir are going back to their farms. You can’t just leave a farm. Caleb I’m sure would love to go to the after party but he can’t. “When you’re farming that’s what you do. You don’t have a night off.” Last year Jeremy and his team won the NTA for the Best Factual Entertainment series. Comment now
