Amanda Holden has revealed she stopped visiting Jeremy Clarkson's Diddly Squat farm after her initial trip because of one negative aspect she pointed out.

The television presenter, who owns property near the 66-year-old's farming operation, discussed the impact of the programme's success during Heart Radio's Breakfast Show.

"We don't love the queues in the Cotswolds, but we love it [the show]," she said. "I've got a house up there that's really close and I went to his farm, very early on. I haven't been back since, only because the queues are so big."

The Britain's Got Talent judge is among several celebrities with homes in the region, including Simon Cowell.

The 55-year-old joked that her proximity to the farm might offer an alternative route to avoid the tourist traffic.

"I could probably just walk across the field to be honest, unless he might think I'm trespassing. 'Get off my land!'" she quipped.

Despite not returning since her early visit, Ms Holden expressed curiosity about the changes that have taken place at the site.

"No, I should go and have a look because everything has change, they've got a whole new situation going on there," she added.

Clarkson's Farm first aired on Prime Video in 2021, drawing significant numbers of fans eager to see the filming locations.

Mr Clarkson acquired the 1,000-acre estate near Chipping Norton in West Oxfordshire back in 2008, though he only began running it himself after the previous tenant departed.

The former Top Gear host's agricultural journey has captivated audiences, with viewers following his efforts alongside his team, particularly farmhand Kaleb Cooper.

A fifth series has now been confirmed, with Prime Video teasing significant developments ahead.

"Clarkson's Farm is back, and amid a government budget that sends the UK farming community into uproar, Jeremy decides some big changes are needed to make the farm run more smoothly," the streaming service announced.

The new episodes will see Mr Cooper reunited with Mr Clarkson after being absent from early instalments of the previous season.

Preview images from the upcoming series show the pair, along with Mr Clarkson's partner Lisa Hogan, returning to work at Diddly Squat.

Ms Hogan has also secured her own television role, having been announced as the host of ITV's new dating programme Farming for Love, a reimagined version of Farmer Wants a Wife.

Speaking about the show on This Morning, she explained: "Farming is a way of life that requires resilience, patience, and the same can be said for relationships.

"What I love about Farming for Love is how real it is, there is no hiding on a farm, and that's what makes it such an honest way for people to get to know each other.

" It has had success around the world, and I am really looking forward to leading this flock in their search for romance."
