Jeremy Clarkson has announced “devastating” news that Diddly Squat farm has been ravaged by a serious disease. The television personality has disclosed that his Cotswolds farm, featured on Clarkson’s Farm, has been afflicted by a tuberculosis (TB) outbreak.
Taking to Instagram with the heartbreaking update, he posted on X: “Bad news from Diddly Squat. We’ve gone down with TB. Everyone here is absolutely d3vastated.”
Fans quickly rushed to share their support for Clarkson as one farmer recounted how every one of 600 cows on a family’s farm had to be slaughtered after TB was discovered. One fellow farmer wrote: “Had the same with chicks here.. lost 100+ in a day due to predators. things like this is devastating to a farmer, others have no idea how it hits us”. Another wrote: “Oh no Hoping for the best, Jeremy.” While a third said: “I’m sorry to hear that, it’s quite a thing.”

He revealed one of his livestock has contracted the potentially fatal bacterial infection and is expecting twins.
According to the UK Government website, Bovine TB is “caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium bovis, (M. bovis) which is closely related to the bacterium that causes human and avian tuberculosis. “All mammalian species, including humans, are susceptible to bovine TB. It is mainly a respiratory disease.
Transmission can occur through nose to nose contact and also through contact with saliva, urine, faeces and milk.”
It continues: “Cattle can become infected when directly exposed to infectious cattle (or other infectious animals) and their excretions. The movement of cattle with undetected infection is the most likely way that disease spreads to new areas.”

Farmers must adhere to a TB testing schedule to monitor their herds and meet regulations, as farms are classified as being “officially TB free” if they show no TB, but this status is revoked if TB is discovered.
A rigorous timeline must be observed, including isolating animals, followed by movement restrictions.
The “reactor” cattle (an animal that has failed a test for bovine TB) must be removed and slaughtered.
Thorough cleaning and disinfection of areas must then take place.
Additional tests are then required every 60 days which must be negative before TB free status is reinstated.
