Jeremy Clarkson is not the only one who has decided to make a major change in their life. The popular show, Clarkson's Farm, is back this week, showcasing Jeremy's journey to become a successful farmer at Diddly Squat. The show has been a huge hit, and it seems like TV companies are now on the lookout for more stars who are willing to trade in their glamorous lifestyles for the challenges of rural living. It's a trend that seems to be gaining popularity, with many famous faces finding happiness in the countryside.
Despite their seemingly different worlds, these celebrities have all found a love for the rural life. No longer surrounded by eager fans looking for a photo, they now have animals to care for and are content with their decision to make the move.
Let's take a closer look at some of the celebrities who have joined this unique group...
Kelvin Fletcher, best known for his role on Emmerdale, has also found success in the farming world. His ITV show, Fletchers' Family Farm, follows his adventure as a real-life farmer. Along with his wife Liz and their four children, Kelvin has fully embraced the challenges and rewards of country living. Despite the hardships, the couple couldn't be happier with their decision to make the move.
Kelvin shared, "With each passing day, as our family grew, so did our love for farming. Despite the challenges that came our way, we embraced every moment with open arms, cherishing the experience wholeheartedly." He also expressed his love for the variety that comes with farming, from attending fancy award shows to mucking out pig pens.
Another unexpected addition to the farming world is Andy Cato, one half of the electronic music duo Groove Armada. After selling the rights to their songs, Andy was able to pursue his dream of becoming a farmer. He now works with Jeremy Clarkson, and will even be making an appearance in the upcoming season of Clarkson's Farm. Andy's journey to farming began with growing vegetables in his garden in France, and has now expanded to a 100-acre farm.
Despite calling his decision to become a farmer "absolutely ridiculous" financially, Andy has no regrets. He believes in living a life that matters and is happy with the diverse experiences that farming has brought him. He now also works with former TV presenter George Lamb on a regenerative farming business, partnering with major retailers to bring regenerative flour to the high street.
Strictly Come Dancing fans may be surprised to learn that former contestant Flavia Cacace has also traded in her dancing shoes for a life on the farm. Along with her husband Jimi Mistry, who played Kal Nazir on Coronation Street, Flavia has found peace and happiness in the countryside. The couple decided to leave their busy TV careers behind after getting married in 2020, and have no regrets about their decision.
Jimi shared, "We both had worked extensively in the entertainment industry for over 20+ years and although we had experienced a lot of success in our respective careers we both knew that one day we wanted a different quality of life." They now live on a coastal farm with their sheep, chickens, and dogs.
JLS singer JB Gill is another celebrity who has found a balance between fame and farming. He purchased an 11-acre plot of land in Kent in 2012 and became a farmer while still continuing his music career. JB explained, "The pop star lifestyle is full-on. You don't get much time off, so I wanted somewhere peaceful I could escape to. Here became the perfect place to relax and recharge."
Calvin Harris may be known for his hit songs, but he's also making a name for himself in the farming world. He owns the largest organic farm in Ibiza, which not only grows vegetables and raises livestock, but also hosts weddings. Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban also have a farm in Sydney, where they can escape the hustle and bustle of Hollywood. The couple, along with their alpacas, sheep, and cows, enjoy the simplicity and peacefulness of farm life.
Other celebrities who have found joy in farming include actor Martin Clunes, who owns a farm in Dorset, and Russell Crowe, who has 500 cows on his farm in Australia. Despite the challenges, these stars have all found fulfillment in their rural lifestyles and are happy to be in touch with a different side of life.
So, it seems like Jeremy Clarkson is not alone in his quest to become a successful farmer. With more and more celebrities joining the farming community, it's clear that the countryside has a lot to offer and is a popular choice for those seeking a different way of life. Who knows, maybe we'll see even more famous faces tending to their fields in the future.
