CAN’T BE HAPPIER – Gerald Cooper UPDATES his Health Status, SETS RETURN DATE to the Screen after his battle with C@ncer, Moving fans to Tears.
A beloved Clarkson’s Farm star’s return to the Prime Video series has been revealed after a health scare.
Fans will be welcomed back to Diddly Squat Farm soon when the new season airs on May 23, with two additional episodes released a week later on May 30, followed by the final two on June 6.
One star of the show, Gerald Cooper, 76, who has been a hit with fans for his difficult to understand West Country accent and natural charm on screen, was missing from several episodes of series three while he was treated for prostate c@ncer.
During the first episode of season three, Jeremy received the heartbreaking news during a phone call with who is thought to be Gerald’s wife.
Viewers were left in suspense as the former Top Gear and Grand Tour presenter is seen to be in dismay, before telling the cameras ‘Gerald’s got c@ncer. Oh s***.’
Fortunately, it was revealed in June last year that Gerald was c@ncer free.

When the third series hit Prime Video back in May, it earned an impressive 10.7 million views.
Jeremy previously announced that a fifth season was confirmed, before the fourth was even announced, back in November.
In a fun clip, a huge number five firework lit up the sky as Jeremy told his followers: ‘Over the years bright lights in the sky have been used to make many important announcements.
‘The birth of baby Jesus for example, but tonight they’re being used to make an announcement that’s even bigger than that.
‘Season 5 of Clarkson’s Farm is coming,’ Jeremy finished, before pointing towards the gold number five.
He captioned the post: ‘It’s the 5th November… this just felt right, Clarkson’s Farm S5 is officially in production.’
Jeremy’s announcement sparked delight from many of his followers, who quickly shared their excitement in the comments.
It comes as The Mail’s Richard Eden previously revealed that Jeremy Clarkson‘s, popular sidekick Kaleb pocketed £910,000 profit at Kaleb Cooper Productions, the company into which he channels his earnings from the series.

Accounts report £960,000 in assets before bills, including £400,000 in cash. Meanwhile, his takings, in the year to June 2024, include a £666,000 profit for the year.
He set up his TV company in 2021 and runs it alongside farming businesses K Cooper Contracting and K Cooper Holdings.
Profits made there amount to £100,000 combined, meaning Cooper has now made his first million at 26.
The Chipping Norton native has long spoken about his dream of owning his own farm – something that now seems more achievable due to his newfound fame.
