Jeremy Clarkson’s farming empire may soon have some fresh competition. Ingrid Tarrant, a GB News contributor and ex-wife of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? presenter Chris Tarrant, is teaming up with radio presenter Stephanie Brookes to launch their own six-part farming show.
Described by insiders as “Clarkson’s Farm, but with lipstick,” the new series promises a unique take on rural life, blending farming realities with a fresh perspective. Ingrid Tarrant, who has been a vocal commentator on GB News on issues ranging from COVID-19 restrictions to societal challenges, is stepping into the spotlight in a genre Clarkson has dominated.
Clarkson’s Farm continues to captivate audiences, with Jeremy Clarkson widely recognized as an advocate for farmers across the UK. He has drawn striking comparisons between the hardships faced by 1980s miners and those confronting farmers today — especially in light of recent agricultural policies introduced by Chancellor Rachel Reeves.

These policy changes include revisions to inheritance tax laws affecting farms, where agricultural assets under £1 million are exempt, but those valued above that threshold face an effective tax rate of 20 percent. Clarkson has voiced his frustration with this approach.
In his columns, Clarkson remarked: “I grew up in a mining area. The miners were consumed by intense sadness and rage. Today, I see the same bewildered despair in the countryside. Farmers are the new miners — caught in political crossfire, suffering deeply.”
His critique extends to the current Labour government’s handling of farming taxes and policies. Reflecting on their leadership after nearly two decades of Conservative rule, Clarkson expressed disappointment over Sir Keir Starmer’s approach, calling it lacking in subtlety.
“What annoys me most,” Clarkson wrote, “is how this government is blind to nuance. They could have targeted the wealthy landowners with precision, but instead they used a blunderbuss that affected everyone.”
With Ingrid Tarrant and Stephanie Brookes entering the fray, the farming television landscape is set to become more dynamic than ever — and fans of rural storytelling have more to look forward to.
