The TV presenter, known for his work on Top Gear and The Grand Tour, owns Diddly Squat Farm here in Oxfordshire, where Clarkson’s Farm is filmed for Prime Video.

The series has become a major hit since its launch in 2021, with farm worker and drystone wall expert Gerald Cooper emerging as a fan favourite among others in the show.

On Friday (September 4), Mr Clarkson hosted Hawkstone Harvest Festival at The Farmer’s Dog pub, his Oxfordshire venue near Burford.

The 66-year-old welcomed thousands of visitors for an event featuring live music, food and drinks from his Hawkstone brand.

At the festival, Mr Clarkson appeared on stage alongside fellow TV presenter George Lamb and Groove Armada musician Andy Cato.

As Gerald Cooper came up in conversation, Mr Lamb asked: “Where is Gerald?”

Mr Clarkson responded: “Gerald’s got toothache.”

Quipping in his reply, Mr Lamb joked: “Has he got teeth?”

Mr Clarkson then confirmed that Mr Cooper is currently out of action, as he added: “He has got teeth. Not all of them, but the ones he’s got left hurt, so he’s slightly laid low at the moment.”

Filming is currently underway for Clarkson’s Farm series six, with the new episodes expected to be released in 2027.

This will follow on from the fifth edition, which came out in June of this year with eight fresh episodes for fans to dig into.
