CLARKSON’S Farm fans have been left stunned after being given an update on a fan-favourite show star.
The Diddly Squat Farm Instagram account left viewers of the Prime Video show gobsmacked when it uploaded a brand new video of one character looking very different.

Richard Ham, Jeremy Clarkson’s micro-pig, appeared to have more than doubled in size since being introduced to fans on the programme during the latest series.
Jezza affectionately named the pig after his former Top Gear co-star Richard Hammond who took a trip to the Oxfordshire farm for the programme.
Whilst Richard Ham was then rather a small pig – the new clip has proved that things are all change for the farmyard animal.
Alongside a video clip of the pig sniffing and snorting around, a caption read: “Look who it is!!! It’s Richard ‘porker’ Ham.”
Fans were left shocked at his size as they begged Jezza and his girlfriend Lisa Hogan to keep the pig and look after him as they begged for him not to be turned into meat.
One person said: “Yayy! I’m so glad Richard Ham is still with you, keep him forever!”
Another added: “Oh Hurrah! Richard Ham is still around – please keep him or let him go to a petting farm, where he can live a happy life.”
A third then said: “He’s gorgeous…. Please don’t send me off to the meat packers….. please, please, please keep him…..
“I’m not a veggie either but I do love him.”
Before someone else chimed in: “Blimey not so little Richard anymore.”
Jeremy previously revealed that he would be keeping the pig at the farm in order for it to make friends with the female pigs he owned.
He confessed he was hoping Richard was able to get the next lot of female pigs “in the mood” — and is likened to late Playboy boss Hugh Hefner.
Jeremy says: “The problem is, if he goes on the lorry, he’s killed and all we get in return is chipolata and a pork chop the size of a walnut.
“If he stays here, we’ve got to feed him for no reason.
“And that’s not farming.
“But the next lot of sows, we’re going to use artificial insemination on them, to make them pregnant.
“But we can’t do that until they get in heat and they won’t get in heat unless there’s man pig nearby.
“So why don’t we keep him as the farm’s man pig, to get the ladies in the mood?
“Good old Richard Ham — you could be Hugh Hefner now!”
