Jeremy Clarkson may face culling his beloved herd of cows after the 'devastated' TV star revealed that Diddly Squat Farm had been hit by a TB outbreak.

The 65-year-old broadcaster and farmer took to X to share the 'bad news' on Thursday, stating: 'Bad news from Diddly Squat. We've gone down with TB. Everyone here is absolutely devastated.'

Amid concern that the outbreak may be affecting members of staff, Mr Clarkson later clarified: 'I should clear this up really. It's Bovine TB that we have. It doesn't affect people, just our poor cows.'

He also revealed that the 'offending animal' that had tested positive for TB was pregnant with twins.

In response, one fan asked if Endgame, his prize-winning Aberdeen Angus bull, was infected.
