Jeremy Clarkson says National Television Awards win is a ‘vote for farmers’
Jeremy Clarkson said the win was a vote for farmers after Clarkson's Farm beat several reality shows for the National Television Awards prize.
Jeremy Clarkson collected the reality docuseries prize for Clarkson's Farm at the National Television Awards, saying the victory represents a "vote for farmers."
Earlier this year, Clarkson disclosed he had been diagnosed with "aggressive" prostate cancer during filming, but he confirmed backstage he is now in remission following treatment.
The Hawkstone Farmers Choir, assembled by Clarkson and winners of Britain's Got Talent earlier this year, opened the ceremony with a performance.
Clarkson also reported that 11 breeding ewes were recently stolen from his farm, a loss valued at over £2,000 he described as "genuinely annoying."
The ceremony also recognized I Fought The Law, a drama starring Sheridan Smith as Ann Ming, a British campaigner who overturned the 800-year-old double jeopardy law.
