Jeremy Clarkson discovered the shocking truth about the TB results at the end of Clarkson’s Farm Season 5.
Clarkson’s Farm fans are keen to find out what happened to Diddly Squat Farm after it was suspected one of Jeremy Clarkson’s pregnant cows had TB (Bovine tuberculosis).
Welsh vet Dilwyn Evans had been carrying out routine tests on Clarkson’s cattle when he found a potential ‘fail’ on one of the cows, who happened to be pregnant.
In heartbreaking scenes in the final episode of Season 5, the first ever cow to have been bought to the farm, whilst pregnant with two calves, was taken to be slaughtered after the suspected outbreak of TB lead to two inconclusive tests.
Clarkson was later left with his “blood boiling” after a post-mortem of the cow showed she did not actually have TB, but the farm was still required to stay in lockdown.
Here is all you need to know about the current status of Diddly Squat following the TB scare.
The outbreak took place in August of 2025, before Season 5 of Clarkson’s Farm was released, with the former Top Gear host announcing it on X.
Whenever a cow fails a TB test, the entire herd has to be placed on lockdown and any offending cows are legally required to be slaughtered. Thankfully, Clarkson revealed in a column for The Sun in March 2026 that the farm was out of lockdown measures.
He said: “After seven months of lockdown, Diddly Squat farm became officially TB-free this week.”
Unfortunately, there was some bad news to share, as he went on to explain: “But before we had a chance to celebrate, we found out that one of our donkeys has laminitis and must be put down.
“In farming, it seems you are allowed one bit of good news, but it must always be accompanied by some kind of disaster.”
The star previously explained how much of a toll the TB lockdown had on the farm, as it was not allowed to operate as a business.
He said in his column for The Times: “All the barns we needed to store the grain in, we now have to convert into a cow hospital.
“We’ve got another calf with pneumonia, so that needs to be housed. And we can’t buy or sell a cow now because the farm officially, you know, has TB.”
After a devastating time, Clarkson and the rest of the team can now look forward to better luck with TB no longer looming over them.
