Jeremy Clarkson previously spoke of his distress following the death of a cherished animal at his Diddly Squat Farm.

The former Top Gear host, 64, disclosed the emotional turmoil he and his partner Lisa Hogan faced when her horse, Bertie, died just before Christmas in 2023.

Clarkson opened up about the ordeal in his most recent book, Diddly Squat: Home to Roost, sharing the impact the loss had on him personally.

"It wasn't a fun event, even for me, and I didn't like it one bit," he said. "When Lisa's horse died, I was upset because I could see she was. And because I would have to deal with it."

He provided a sombre picture of discovering the much-loved Bertie "lying on his side, in a stream" on their land.

The Grand Tour host's farming career has been well-documented on Clarkson's Farm, but things haven't been running smoothly over the past year.

Not only has Clarkson's journey aired on TV, but he's kept fans updated across a series of books. His latest edition is no different and features a shocking admission about his staggeringly low profits.

He wrote: "Of course you've heard this all before. Farmers moan. I spoke to an old boy and he said that in his 60 years of working the land, only two harvests were what he'd call very good. This year, though, was noticeably bad. Very bad.

Clarkson continued: "And what made it worse is that I normally invest maybe £40,000 in seeds, fertiliser and sprays. But last year, thanks to the war in Ukraine and the inflation that resulted, I had to invest £110,000.

"And then, having done that, all I could do was hope the weather would be good. Which it wasn't. In my first year of farming I made a profit of £114. That will look like a dream result when I get the figures for this year."

He added: "It's all right for Adam Henson, because somehow, his stuff grew well, and it's all right for me, because I had Amazon in the background. But for thousands of other farmers it's not alright: 2023 has been a disaster."

The Who Wants to Be a Millionaire host is also facing problems with his pub, The Farmer's Dog. Unfortunately, this has also been hit by financial woes, with Clarkson admitting losing £10 for every customer who walked through the door.
