Clarkson's Farm star Jeremy Clarkson to leave 'irritating' gifts for TV co-stars in his will
Clarkson's Farm star Jeremy Clarkson has opened up about having to make plans for his own death revealing what song he wants played at his funeral and his plot to leave "irritating" gifts in his will for his former TV co-stars James May and Richard Hammond.
Jeremy Clarkson plans to leave "irritating" gifts in his will for his former TV co-stars James May and Richard Hammond.
The Clarkson's Farm star, 65, has opened up about having to make plans for his own death revealing he's been putting his affairs in order and has even picked out the music for his funeral - and Clarkson has made provisions to annoy his former Grand Tour colleagues May and Hammond after he's gone.
In his column for The Sunday Times newspaper, Clarkson explained: "I started to realise that dying in this day and age is unbelievably complicated.
"First of all, there’s your will to consider. You can’t be cursory about this. It takes thought. You have to leave some people 20p so they don’t think you forgot about them.
"And I have James May to worry about. Obviously, I have to leave him something, but it needs to be something he’d find irritating. One of my cows, for example.
"Richard Hammond is getting all my trousers."
Clarkson went on to reveal he's picked out his funeral music and joked he wants to be buried in the most "inconvenient" place he could think of.
He added: "Eventually, I had everything planned out. All 23 minutes of Supper’s Ready by Genesis would be played at my funeral.
"My son could have my dad’s gold watch only if he promised to keep it up his bottom for five years. And I wanted to be buried in the Yukon, for no other reason than it’s seriously inconvenient."
Clarkson's comments come amid reports his hit show Clarkson's Farm is returning for a sixth series after bosses at Amazon Prime reportedly "signed off" on plans to bring the show back again.
The TV star finished work on series five last year and it is expected to land on the streaming giant in the spring and the former Top gear presenter had previously teased he might start filming a sixth season if snow fell over the winter.
The Sun recently reported bosses at Amazon Prime have given the green light for series six and Clarkson started work after the weather took a chilly turn in January.
A broadcast date for the fifth series of Clarkson's Farm has yet to be confirmed but it's expected to appear on Amazon Prime in April or May.
