STAR of hit farming show Clarksons Farm, Jeremy Clarkson, has been reportedly axed by Amazon Prime – so no more Diddy Squat!

Prime is reportedly parting ways with the former Top Gear presenter following his newspaper column regarding Meghan Markle. The Clarkson’s Farm frontman (62) was at the centre of intense backlash last month after stating that he ‘hated’ the Duchess of Sussex on a ‘cellular level’ and dreamed about her being paraded through the streets and shamed.

The column was quickly removed from the paper's website and Clarkson has since apologised. In a lengthy statement posted on Instagram on Monday, January 16, he said: "One of the strange things I’ve noticed in recent times is that whenever an MP or a well-known person is asked to apologise for something, no matter how heartfelt or profound that apology may be, it’s never enough for the people who called for it in the first place.

"So I’m going to try and buck the trend this morning with an apology for the things I said in The Sun column recently about Meghan Markle. I really am sorry. All the way from the balls of my feet to the follicles on my head. This is me putting my hands up. It's a mea culpa with bells on."

He went on to say that while he normally reads what he sends beforehand – as any writer should - that day he was in a hurry and so he just hit the 'send' button.

"It was a slow rumble to start with and I ignored it. But then the rumble got louder. So I picked up a copy of The Sun to see what all the fuss was about," he said.

"We've all been there, I guess. In that precise moment when we suddenly realise we've completely messed up. You are sweaty and cold at the same time. And your head pounds. And you feel sick.

"I couldn't believe what I was reading. Had I really said that? It was horrible."

According to reports, Amazon Prime won’t be working with the TV personality beyond seasons of The Grand Tour and Clarkson’s Farm that have already been commissioned, which means the series that's in prodiction wilol go ahead as planned. But this means that the Top Gear star won’t be appearing in any new shows on Prime Video beyond 2024.

Clarkson launched his Amazon Prime Video show to great acclaim, as the docu-series followed his efforts to run a 1000-acre farm in the Cotswolds. It has become a firm favourite and his antics with his farming co-stars became a firm a hit with farmers nation-wide.
