Jeremy Clarkson responds to criticism from BBC naturalist Chris Packham after Packham made remarks about Clarkson’s Farm during an appearance on Celebrity Gogglebox earlier this month. Packham, watching the show’s opening titles, said the sequence does not reflect what farms look like, arguing that many farms rely on monocultures, chemical inputs and intensive indoor animal rearing. Clarkson, in turn, calls Packham “endlessly angry” and says the comments were poorly received in a television context. Clarkson writes that Packham’s critique extends beyond the credits and claims Packham previously visited Diddly Squat Farm in 2012, adding that if there were animals in crates or being mistreated, Packham would have noticed and spoken up. The reports also note Packham’s public profile on environmental and animal-rights issues, including past criticism of ITV’s I’m A Celebrity for using live creatures in “Bushtucker Trials.” HuffPost UK says it contacted Packham’s team for comment.

Jeremy ClarksonJeremy Clarkson has responded after TV presenter Chris Packham made recent digs at his show, Clarkson’s Farm.In his latest column for The Sun, the former Top Gear star addressed Packham’s comments about Clarkson’s Farm, which he’d made on Celebrity Gogglebox earlier this month.While watching Clarkson’s docuseries’ opening titles, the naturalist and Springwatch host insisted: “Already, right, that’s not what a farm looks like. “Most farms are horrible monocultures which have been sprayed with deadly chemicals, time and time again, the ground pumped full of fertiliser, and loads of the animals are indoors – in crates, being crushed and kept in the dark.”He added: “That’s an idealistic view of a farm, and it puts the wrong idea in people’s minds. And that’s only the titles!”Clarkson had his say on the matter in his latest column, writing: “The endlessly angry Chris Packham went on Gogglebox this week and erupted in blind fury about the Winnie the Pooh-ish opening credits to my farming programme.“Now, of course this kind of stuff plays well in a room full of nose rings and Palestine flags at a vegan activist meeting in Hackney. But he was on a television programme, and it didn’t play well at all. Because it’s b*****ks.”Chris PackhamClarkson then claimed that Packham had even paid a visit to Diddly Squat Farm back in 2012, adding: “If there had been some animals in a crate, being crushed, I’m sure he would have noticed and said something.”HuffPost UK has contacted Chris Packham’s team for comment.In recent times, Packham has become known for his outspoken views when it comes to matters of the environment and animal rights, and has repeatedly slammed ITV’s I’m A Celebrity for its use of live creatures in its “Bushtucker Trials”.Back in 2019, he was appointed a CBE in the late Queen Elizabeth II’s New Year Honours for his services to nature conservation.READ MORE:Green Party Leader Zack Polanski Shuts Down Jeremy Clarkson's 'Personal Attacks'Prince William's Appearance On Clarkson's Farm Raises Eyebrows For This 1 ReasonJeremy Clarkson Shares That His Prostate Cancer Is Now In Remission After Treatment
