Jeremy Clarkson has revealed an emotional moment that happens during season three of Clarkson's Farm.
Previously known as the ultimate petrolhead and for his antics on Top Gear and The Grand Tour, the 64-year-old is now known for his farming and animal tending.
If you haven't already seen it, you can view the trailer for season three of Clarkson's Farm here:
Britain's most popular motoring journalist-turned-farmer is set to bring another highly-anticipated season of his farming endeavours to Prime Video next week, after an incredibly successful first two seasons.

Fan favourite, Kaleb Cooper, is back alongside Charlie, Gerald and Clarkson's girlfriend, Lisa Hogan yet again.
But season three brings about a change - following a number of problems that hit the farm back at the beginning of 2022, Clarkson decided to reduce the number of cows he had and buy more pigs for breeding.
He isn't instantly successful with this endeavour, but even sidekick and critic Kaleb says that he does quite well with it.
However, nothing would have prepared him for a heart-breaking moment that happened while they were filming season three, leaving Clarkson and his girlfriend in tears.
Clarkson and Hogan focused a lot of time on rearing pigs in the third season, but later witness the sad events of them dying in large numbers and, despite all of his broadcasting experience, Clarkson was left without words afterwards.

"It was just a heartbreaking time," he began to explain.
“I’d never, ever seen Lisa cry, not once, until all this started and was unfolding. It was terrible.
“It is weird, because you love them and you help birth them and you feed and nurture and care for them. I mean, you don’t say, ‘Let’s buy some pigs and hope they die,’"
The ex-Top Gear presenter said that he always liked pigs, because his mum used to buy him toy pigs for Christmas and his birthday all the way into his adulthood - making the fact that so many died on his watch, that much harder.

“It was absolutely horrific at the time, and we had another calamity with them just the other day, but by and large they’re now going okay.
“We’re getting more robust now, though, we’re a bit stronger at dealing with it,” Clarkson said.
Speaking on how honest and real the show is compared to what he's done in the past, the journalist said: “On this show I don’t have to pretend to be someone else.

“You see, on The Grand Tour, Richard Hammond isn’t as stupid as he’s made out to be, and I’m not as bombastic as I’m made out to be, and James May isn’t quite as boring as he’s made out to be.
“So you’re playing a caricature, you’re playing a role, and you’re there to provoke and be stupid.
“But here you haven’t got any of that, so we’re just ourselves.”
Calling the filming process 'effortless', he says that the farming aspect is far from it, as it is more real than most shows because they can't plan anything due to external factors.
