Amanda Owen praises Jeremy Clarkson and says 'farmers love him' despite Meghan backlash
express.co.ukOur Yorkshire Farm star Amanda Owen, 48, has suggested farmers “love” Jeremy Clarkson, 62, after the star fronted popular Amazon Prime show Clarkson’s Farm.The former Top Gear presenter faced backlash a few weeks ago when a column he wrote about Meghan Markle, 41, became the most complained about in history, with more than 20,800 complaints to the Independent Press Standards Organisation (Ipso).Despite the scrutiny Jeremy has been under over the past month, Yorkshire Shepherdess pointed out the ways in which he had been “good for farming”."Farmers love him,” she admitted, after being quizzed on her thoughts about the disgraced presenter.“I'm absolutely sure of that because he highlights the problems of farming even under his umbrella of humour and doing it all wrong. “He has absolutely brought to the nation how difficult the job is,” she added.Speaking about “stereotypes” in farming during her interview with Times Radio, she continued: “He is, of course, not a born and bred farmer, same as me.” Following the backlash Jeremy received from the article he wrote about the Duchess of Sussex for his column in the Sun, the star has faced a number of repercussions.
