Jeremy Clarkson has delighted fans by apparently confirming Clarkson's Farm will return for a third series.
He issued a terse three-word statement on Twitter last night. There were calls for the show to be cancelled in the wake of the former Top Gear host's controversial comments about Meghan Markle in a column.
Fans have been clamouring for news regarding the popular Amazon Prime series for days after the second series concluded on Friday (February 10), which focused on Clarkson's battle against West Oxfordshire District Council's complaints as he fought to diversify his Chipping Norton farm and rear cows to sell in a farm restaurant.
Recent reports suggest Amazon were planning on ending its association with Clarkson. However on Monday night, he was asked on Twitter: "I loved it watched it on Saturday that just passed, loved the show can't wait for a season 3 if there is one."
To which Clarkson simply responded: "There is one."
Fans were absolutely ecstatic with the development, Yorkshire Live reports. @iratespecialist said: "Glad to here it! If Amazon tries to cancel you, I’m canceling Amazon. What you are doing is one of the most entertaining shows out there. It is also important to our civilization. People have forgotten what it takes to put food on the table and the importance of farmers/ranchers."

@dradi_g said: "Awesome, great show. I love the serious messages and awareness the show tries to highlight through the humour. We've had farm shops, Roll on farm cooperatives and farm restaurants."
@long897 said: "Best news I’ve heard in a LONG time! I have learned so much from Clarkson’s Farm. I was never appreciative of or properly thankful for the work and sacrifice that goes into my daily bread. I am now. Thank you."
