Jeremy Clarkson’s newest update about his Oxfordshire farm, Diddly Squat, prompted some concerns from fans, leading him to issue a blunt response back at them in the comments section.<\/p>\n

The remarks came on Tuesday, when the former Top Gear star shared an adorable photo of the newest member of the farm, a donkey named Ben.<\/p>\n

The Clarkson’s Farm star wrote in the caption: “Please welcome to Diddly Squat. New Ben.” <\/p>\n

While many gushed over the sweet newcomer, other fans expressed their worries about the addition.<\/p>\n

One asked: “Does he have a donkey friend to live with? Very important!”<\/p>\n

“Beautiful but needs a friend they are social lovelies need to be in pairs or groups,” a second echoed.<\/p>\n

Someone else wrote: “Aww he is gorgeous but he needs a friend though. They don’t like to be alone.”<\/p>\n

One more warned: “I hope you have another donkey for Ben, donkeys shouldn’t live on their own and other livestock aren\u2019t suitable companions.”<\/p>\n

Mr Clarkson was forced to respond to the comments and bluntly hit back: “Yes. We know that.”<\/p>\n

Others simply shared their enthusiasm for the new farm animal, with one writing: “Oh my god what a dashing donk. Look at that big sparkly eye.”<\/p>\n

An eager Clarkson’s Farm viewer asked: “Will we see him in the new series!?”<\/p>\n

“I’m in LOVE with BEN,” one more social media user added. (sic)<\/p>\n

The new addition will no doubt have come as some welcome news for Mr Clarkson, who was forced to halt filming for the new series of Clarkson’s Farm recently.<\/a><\/p>\n

In last week’s Sunday Times column, he cited relentless rainfall since January as he explained why he had to hit pause on developing series six.<\/p>\n

“There’s no filming happening on the farm at the moment,” he explained.<\/p>\n

“Or farming. It hasn’t stopped raining since the beginning of the year, so I can’t plant anything, and I can’t do anything with my cows either because we are still locked down by TB.”<\/p>\n

The tuberculosis restrictions mean his cattle herd remains confined, compounding what has already been a frustrating start to the year.<\/p>\n

No timeline has been given for when production might resume, leaving fans uncertain about the schedule for the upcoming series.<\/p>\n

However, Mr Clarkson\u2019s partner, Lisa Hogan, also gave fans something more uplifting to focus on, sharing news of new arrivals expected at the Cotswolds farm.<\/p>\n

Posting on Instagram, Ms Hogan shared footage of the farm\u2019s sheep flock and revealed they are pregnant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jeremy Clarkson’s newest update about his Oxfordshire farm, Diddly Squat, prompted some concerns from fans, leading him to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":321439,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[458,727,6091,146,85,46],"class_list":["post-321438","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-celebrity","tag-clarksons-farm","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/321438","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=321438"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/321438\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/321439"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=321438"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=321438"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=321438"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
