‘It focuses the mind': Jeremy Clarkson on Diddly Squat's TB outbreak
He said the unexpected TB diagnosis, the first for the television presenter, had thrown operations at Diddly Squat Farm in Oxfordshire into disarray, admitting that he was on a 'very steep learning curve'.
It has been a bad week for Clarkson, who also revealed that one of the 12 puppies in a litter by his dog Arya had died. His partner, Lisa Hogan, named the puppy on social media as 'Mr Grey', saying: 'Sad news this morning. Mr Grey has gone to fur and feather land.'
TB testing on Thursday had found it was 'probable' that one cow at the farm had the respiratory disease, Clarkson said, and two other cows were suspected to be possible cases. His farm, made famous in the Amazon Prime series Clarkson's Farm, has what he calls a 'tiny herd' of nine cows, seven calves and one bull.

Watch moment Love Island stars left in shock as Maya Jama returns for savage dumping and final twist
THE Love Island villa will be rocked for the final time tonight as Maya Jama returns for the last - and very brutal dumping. With just one day to go before the final, the islanders are left in shock as Maya enters the villa while they are lounging around. 8 8 8 She tells them: 'I have some very important news. Can you come and join me on the lawn? 'As you know, last night Megan and Conor were dumped as a result of receiving the least amount of votes for most compatible couple. I'm now going to reveal the two other couples who received the fewest votes and are at risk of being dumped from the island.' But there is more shock to come as Maya dramatically reveals exactly who will be deciding who goes home. As the stars looked on in horror, Maya announces: 'Today, one more couple will be dumped from the Love Island Villa. And that decision will be made by some very familiar faces.' The ex-Islanders make their return as they gather at the fire pit primed to unleash their opinion on the two couples at risk. Maya tells them: 'Welcome back guys. You must now individually decide which couple is the least compatible. The couple with the most votes will be dumped from the island immediately.' One by one the ex-Islanders have their say, leaving the couples at risk less than impressed by their comments. And the decision is made to send one pair packing - meaning they miss out on the chance of winning the £50k in the final. Viewers are convinced they have worked out who will be heading home and took to social media to share their opinions. One person wrote: 'Harry & Shakira.. your time is up!' Love Island fans figure out when villa divide happened as they reveal exact moment the girls turned on each other A second said: 'Got a feeling this lot will have it in for Shakira and Harry. Should be Mug and Mustard…' While a third commented: 'It won't be Dejon and Meg because some vindictive ex islanders like Blu, Lucy, Lauren, Harrison, Tommy et al will not vote them out.' Others expressed their upset at letting the former Islanders make the direction - one person raged: 'Worse ever decision to let a group of biased & bitter (rejected!) people back to vote in the least fair & least objective way - spoils it every time! Please stop it!' 8 8 8 8
