The TV host will be more candid than ever in scenes to be aired as part of series four of his hit Prime Video show.

Opening up to The Sun, Jeremy said of his ailing health throughout the series: 'You can see me becoming more and more ill as the days go on, because I just lose my sense of humour, lose my ability to stay calm. I get in a proper old panic. 'I didn't know at the time. I knew I wasn't being me. Because if you don't sleep, it very quickly has an effect." Read Jeremy Clarkson's full interview in The Sun HERE. Revealing how he was under immense pressure amid his health issues, Jeremy said: 'I was trying to get the pub open for the August Bank Holiday weekend, and at the same time doing the harvest on the farm. 'And it's very well documented I ended up in hospital with a heart problem, when you see how stressful it was trying to do those two things - there's simply no sleep. 'I was coming back knackered from a day trying to get the pub open, and having to get straight into the tractor to do grain carting through the night. 'You can't make the harvest wait, if it's dry, ready and fit, as they say in farming I've discovered, if the wheat and barley fit you've got to get out there. God it was knackering." Jeremy also revealed how things going wrong and last-minute "disasters" also took its toll, with the former Top Gear star now admitting he was 'silly' to attempt to do as much as he did across the two days. Jezza continued: "The amount of things that went wrong in the two days in the opening weekend. Jeremy Clarkson breaks silence on sexy new farmhand Harriet as he confirms 'replaced' Kaleb Cooper's future on show "I know everyone's going to say you made that up, it can't possibly be that disastrous. But it was. "It was one thing after another after another, it was incredibly stressful. 'That was idiotic to try and do what I tried to do over those weekends.' Last October, Jeremy first revealed he had faced a hospital dash before undergoing an emergency heart operation. He said he experienced worrying symptoms such as feeling "clammy", "tightness in my chest", and "pins and needles in my left arm". He revealed in his Sunday Times column an ambulance rushed him to Oxford's John Radcliffe Hospital where tests ruled out a heart attack. However, further examinations revealed one artery was fully blocked and another was nearly blocked, putting him at serious risk. A stent was inserted into the blocked artery to keep it open and restore blood flow to the heart. He wrote: "It wasn't especially painful. Just odd," and said he thought at the time, "Crikey, that was close." Clarkson's Farm series guide By Conor O'Brien, TV Reporter Clarkson's Farm airs on Prime Video and follows TV personality Jeremy Clarkson as he manages his Diddly Squat Farm in the Cotswolds. Three series have been released to date and here is an overview of what has happened so far. Series 1 Jeremy takes over the day-to-day running of the newly renamed Diddly Squat Farm. Lisa Hogan, Kaleb Cooper, "Cheerful Charlie" Ireland and Gerald Cooper are also introduced. Jeremy starts to assemble what he needs for his farm - as well as laying the groundwork for things to come later. He buys key equipment including a tractor and cultivator, as well as taking on sheep and opening a farm shop. Jeremy takes over the day-to-day running of the newly renamed Diddly Squat Farm. Series 2 This series sees Jeremy look for ways to increase the farm's revenue. One such example is bringing in a herd of cows although this isn't without its issues. Jeremy also had the idea to convert the abandoned lambing barn into a restaurant where he could sell his meat from the farm. For this plan to move forward, he had to get planning permission from the local council. Viewers also meet Pepper, a heifer among the herd who ultimately becomes the star's favourite. Series 3 The third series contained some of the show's most emotional moments to date. In heartbreaking scenes, dozens of newborn piglets died as a result of overlaying - their mother rolling on to them. Jeremy said goodbye to his favourite pig - the Baroness - after she developed cancer and needed to be put down. Dry stonewall expert and "head of security" Gerald Cooper was diagnosed with cancer. Jeremy and Kaleb began a competition between themselves - with Kaleb looking after the arable side and Jeremy taking the non-arable elements. Fellow farmers - and famous faces - Andy Cato and George Lamb appear in this series

Huge London festival thrown into chaos AGAIN as headliner charged with terror offence
The event also faced a legal challenge from a residents' group LINEUP CONCERN Huge London festival thrown into chaos AGAIN as headliner charged with terror offence Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A LONDON music festival is facing a second major headache in a matter of days after a member of its headline act was charged with a terror offense. Wide Awake is taking place tomorrow at Lambeth's Brockwell Park with Northern Irish trio Kneecap topping the bill. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 Kneecap's Liam O'Hanna has been charged with a terror offence Credit: PA 3 The band is due to headline Wide Awake festival tomorrow Credit: Getty But the controversial hip hop group's frontman Liam O'Hanna, who performs as Mo Chara, is in hot water after allegedly displaying a Hezbollah flag. The 27-year-old, from Belfast, is said to have displayed the banner in support of the Iranian proxy militants in Lebanon during a gig at the O2 Forum, in Kentish Town, London, on November 21 last year. Hezbollah is a proscribed terror organisation, and it is a criminal offence to "invite support" for the group. The rapper is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on June 18. The Sun has contacted a representative for Wide Awake for comment. Also on the festival bill are indie favourites CMAT, English Teacher, Fat Dog and Peaches. Kneecap, who are outspoken critics of Israel and its conflict with Hamas in Gaza, released a statement after O'Hanna's charge calling it a "distraction". They said: "14,000 babies are about to die of starvation in Gaza, with food sent by the world sitting on the other side of the wall, and once again the British establishment is focused on us. "We deny this 'offence' and will vehemently defend ourselves." They added it as 'political policing' and 'a carnival of distraction'. Kneecap movie sets sights for Hollywood "We are not the story. Genocide is. As they profit from genocide, they use an 'anti-terror law' against us for displaying a flag thrown on stage. A charge not serious enough to even warrant their 'crown court' [sic] instead a court that doesn't have a jury. What's the objective? "To restrict our ability to travel. To prevent us speaking to young people across the world. To silence voices of compassion. To prosecute artists who dare speak out.' They continued: 'Instead of defending innocent people, or the principles of international law they claim to uphold, the powerful in Britain have abetted slaughter and famine in Gaza, just as they did in Ireland for centuries. Then, like now, they claim justification. "The IDF units they arm and fly spy plane missions for are the real terrorists, the whole world can see it.' The Kneecap dilemma is the latest issue for Wide Awake, which recently faced calls to be scrapped altogether. Brockwell Park, which also hosts the Mighty Hoopla, Field Day, Cross The Tracks and City Splash events, was at the heart of a legal battle between a local residents' group and Lambeth council. Protect Brockwell Park (PBP) took legal action opposing the events, which require a large part of the park to be closed off to the public for 37 days during the summer - nine more than is allowed for a temporary change of use. It claimed the festival series damages the ecology of the park and doesn't represent community value. 3 The hip hop group have denied any wrongdoing and are backing Liam Credit: Reuters A High Court judge found in favour of PBP and the group's solicitors said: "As there is no planning permission for the Brockwell Live event, the event has to be cancelled. "The site now has to be made immediately available to the public and cleared of the fencing and infrastructure.' However, Brockwell Live, which oversees the events in the park, confirmed the festival series would still go ahead. It said the ruling was over a "particular point of law" and whether an "administrative process" had been carried out. It has since applied to the council for a new certificate of lawfulness that will extend the usage of the park by 24 days. Who are Kneecap? Kneecap are an Irish hip hop trio from Belfast, Northern Ireland, composed of Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, Naoise Ó Cairealláin and J. J. Ó Dochartaigh. Their stage names are Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap and DJ Próvaí, respectively. They rap in a mixture of English and Irish and their first single C.E.A.R.T.A., cearta meaning rights in Irish, was released in 2017. Their debut studio album 3CAG followed in 2018., while their second Fine Art was released in 2024. The group also had a biographical film made about them the same year. It won a British Academy of Film Award (Bafta) in February 2025. The Guardian described Kneecap as "the most controversial band in the UK" earlier this year. In April, the group faced backlash after sharing messages about the war in Gaza during their set at Coachella. They were dropped by their sponsor and booking agent Independent Artist Group (IAG). Footage emerged from their gigs has also been investigated by counter-terrorism officers.

Labour MUST reopen Dartmoor prison rather than release dangerous criminals from jail early, Tories demand
JUSTICE chiefs have been urged to 'strain every sinew' to re-open a notorious jail — and halt the early release of dangerous criminals. The call over 3 An offender enjoys early release from prison Credit: PA 3 Justice chiefs have been urged to 'strain every sinew' to re-open notorious HMP Dartmoor Credit: Alamy 3 Robert Jenrick says its year-long shutdown to fix a gas problem leaves crime victims and the public at risk Credit: AFP He wants the Napoleonic era, 700-place prison brought back into use quickly to ease chronic overcrowding blighting the prison system. Mr Jenrick told The Sun on Sunday: 'The Justice Secretary should be straining every sinew to reopen Dartmoor Prison. Emergency works should already be under way to fix the problem and free up desperately needed prison places. 'Instead, the Justice Secretary is releasing some of the most dangerous criminals, including sex offenders and domestic abusers who have breached their licence. 'That decision puts victims and the public in jeopardy.' Read More on UK News The 200-year-old prison, which insiders fear may never re-open, was found to have high levels of radon in December 2023. All of its inmates were moved out between May and August last year. Its windows were left open for ventilation — allowing insects and bats to move in. This prompted a report last year calling for an urgent decision on the future of the Category C jail. Most read in The Sun Meanwhile, Justice Secretary Thousands of prisoners on recall will also serve just a month before being automatically re-released. Fury as vile rapist is back on UK streets despite being slapped with 2 life terms & judge warning 'he will attack again' English and Welsh prisons were holding 88,087 inmates last week — with 1,355 unused places. Internal government briefings suggest that men's jails will run out of space by November if action is not taken. Meanwhile, Its problem with radioactive radon has been known about since 2020 but it took another three years before anything was done to tackle it. Radon, which is linked to lung cancer, is created by the decay of uranium in rocks and soil. Most build-ups are fixed by installing a pump to extract it from the ground. A Prison Service spokeswoman said: 'To protect our staff, we took the decision to temporarily close HMP Dartmoor and are taking urgent advice from specialists so we can reopen as quickly — and safely — as possible.'

Star of iconic noughties Channel 4 show reveals plans to turn it into a movie
He will be coming to Glasgow BIG SCREEN PLOT Star of iconic noughties Channel 4 show reveals plans to turn it into a movie Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DOM Joly hopes to turn Trigger Happy into a movie after taking the iconic TV show on tour. The popular show was last on TV in 2016, after an original three-series run from 2000 to 2002, when it became a cult classic. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 Dom Joly wants to make his hit TV show into a movie Credit: PA 3 The show became a cult hit Credit: Alamy Hidden cameras followed him as he portrayed a number of hilarious characters – from a traffic warden to a giant snail and, of course, his iconic man on a giant mobile phone. Now he's heading to The Pavilion in Glasgow on October 9 as part of a 25th anniversary tour, where he'll show clips, give behind-the-scenes secrets and play pranks on the crowd. He said: 'It's just crazy to me. It feels like yesterday but weirdly my daughter was born in the year Trigger Happy was made, so she's like a physical embodiment of it.' And on the subject of a movie, Dom added: 'The concept is scenes with like 2,000 people in it. So if you liked Trigger Happy TV, come and be in the movie. 'It's quite a complicated thing and it scares people off. But who knows? Maybe we could make it happen.' We previously told how Dom wanted to bring his hit conspiracy tour to Scotland. The funnyman set out on a journey to explore the world's most bizarre conspiracy theories. He found out more about UFO hunters and flat earthers and even the bizarre theory that Finland isn't real. Dom said: 'I'm very happy to talk to people. But it's kind of one of the problems with conspiracy theories. 'If someone comes along they're always focused on a single issue. So they're obsessed with chemtrails and they have literally spent 15 years just studying this thing. Dom Joly creates hilarious comedy skit to highlight small business struggles 'You can't possibly argue and when you get the real single-issue conspiracy theorists, they're like religious zealots. I can say 'I don't agree with you, but I can't argue with you' and that's not very good for either side. 'There's also a geographical element to it. People in Scotland still talk to each other. Whereas a lot of conspiracists in America live almost entirely remote existences online so no one tells you you're talking s***e.' Talking about the Finland theory, he said: 'The conspiracy started off as a joke on Reddit and everyone knew it was a joke. "But 20 per cent of people took it seriously and the conspiracy is that in 1917 Russia and Japan invented a country called Finland and that it's actually just sea so that they could have the fishing rights. 'So they claim when I fly to Finland I'm landing in a remote part of either Sweden or Russia and that all four million inhabitants of Finland are crisis actors like a massive Truman Show."
