Jeremy Clarkson is seen comforting his girlfriend Lisa Hogan after she breaks down in tears when a piglet appears to die in the new series of Clarkson’s Farm.

The TV star’s Amazon Prime programme about life on Diddly Squat Farm is back for a third run and the trailer shows him deciding he wants to breed pigs. But things don’t go according to plan as the Cotswolds farm welcomes its first litter and there is heartache waiting for them.

Clarkson is seen peering into what looks like an incubator as he says: “One of them is as weak as hell.” A tiny piglet that doesn’t seem to be moving is then handed to his girlfriend, who exclaims “Oh no!” then starts to cry.

Looking sombre, Clarkson wraps his around her as she sobs and holds two of the babies in her arms.

The Grand Tour star had previously said he thought having pigs on the farm would provide some “genuine happiness”, but recently told The Sunday Times that “instead, it was almost unbelievably sad” as many of the piglets had passed away.

“I’ve never seen Lisa so upset,” he said. “The film crew looked shell-shocked.”

“We had a catastrophically high level of deaths and I was desperately worried we were doing something wrong, but it turned out we weren’t, it was just that pigs are bad mothers – the Sandy and Black particularly so,” he explained. “That’s why it’s a rare breed.”

But it's not all sad things ahead on Clarkson's Farm. Elsewhere, the trailer for the third series showed Clarkson proposing a competition with farm manager Kaleb Cooper about who could make the most money, with Clarkson using unfarmed land and Cooper using farmed land.

The star also sucks up blackberries with what looks like a vacuum cleaner and has to deal with a mushroom infestation. He also comes up with a plan to sell hay to stars,.

Of the potential celeb customers, he said: “All of the people moving out of London. We have got (Simon) Cowell, we have got (David) Beckham, Natalie Imbruglia, Amanda Holden."

There are lots of things to be excited about in the new series. The official synopsis for the new series says: "The crops are failing in the severe hot weather, inflation has driven prices of supplies sky high, dreams for the beloved restaurant are dashed and now the farm shop also faces closure.

"Jeremy urgently needs to come up with creative new ways of making ends meet, so hatches a plan to turn a profit from hundreds of acres of unfarmed land – thick woodland and hedgerows that make up half of Diddly Squat. This triggers an avalanche of Clarkson-crafted schemes, involving everything from goats and pigs to mushrooms, nettles and deer."

Clarkson’s Farm season 3 promises to see the introduction of a newcomer who “puts Kaleb’s nose out of joint" but the fan favourite gets a big promotion too. Expect to see land agent 'Cheerful' Charlie Ireland and the farm's head of security Gerald Cooper also returning.

Prime Video has renewed Clarkson's Farm for a fourth series too. Clarkson's Farm series three's release follows on from the second season that was out in February 2023. Fans first fell in love with Clarkson's series when it was available for streaming in 2021.

Clarkson’s Farm season three will be released on Friday, 3 May on Prime Video.
