Jeremy Clarkson has admitted that the next series of Clarkson's Farm is 'a conveyor belt of misery' and he was even forced to 'send the cameras away' after a string of major setbacks.
The documentary series, which follows Jeremy running his own farm, first hit Amazon Prime in 2021.
Clarkson's Farm has gone on to have four successful series, and fans were delighted that in November last year it was renewed for another.
Filming started back in June and wrapped up last month, so it's most likely that the instalment won't be on the streaming service until next year.
But unfortunately it wasn't all plain sailing this time around.
Writing in his recent column for The Sun, Jeremy wrote: 'We finished filming the fifth series of Clarkson's Farm this week.'

'And I'm sure you're hoping that when you get to see it next spring, it'll be a comedic eight-part festival of cute animals, laughter and incomprehensible dry-stone walling. It isn’t, though.
‘Because the last 12 months have been a conveyor belt of misery.’
Some of the difficult setbacks he endured include his health battles, weather conditions and Rachel Reeve's budget which impacted the industry.
He continued: ‘It’s likely that the brilliant guys who edit our show will find some nuggets of humour in the mix and that there’ll be some laughs in season five.
‘And in the relentless sunshine, the Cotswolds did look fantastic. But at the coalface, it was knackering.
‘Are we carrying on? Well, we’ve sent the cameras away to give us a break from that side of things for a while.
‘But yup. Kaleb’s out there now in his tractor and after I’ve finished writing this, I’ll be joining him.

‘The show goes on.’
It comes after Clarkson Farm fans were left pleading with host Jeremy for more after he took to social media to issue an update on the latest series of his show.
The former Top Gear star posed alongside the Prime Video series' fan-favourites Kaleb Cooper and his wife, Lisa Horgan, as he revealed what was to come.
The format, which was launched by the streaming service in 2021 and follows Jeremy and his team on his Oxfordshire farm, Diddly Squat, has recently been filming for its fifth series after high demand from viewers.
The fourth series, which won a National Television Award for Best Factual Entertainment earlier this year, broke viewing records thanks to its popularity.
Now, Jeremy has confirmed that filming has finished for its upcoming instalment, with co-star Kaleb, 27, back on screen after taking a series off to go on tour.
Sitting around a campfire with his co-star, wife, land agent Charlie and farmhand Gerald in a picture posted to Instagram, the TV presenter wrote to fans: 'Season 5, it's a wrap.'
Fans flooded the comments to celebrate the news, as well as plead with Jeremy and the team behind the show to 'keep going' with more series.
One viewer penned: 'This is the only show I want to see 20 seasons of,' while a second added: 'I hope you never stop filming Clarkson's Farm, Jeremy, even when you're eighty-hundred and a million ten, it'll still be bloody brilliant.'
'Get to Series 10', a third wrote, while a fourth begged: 'Please, don't stop'.
'Please just film all year round,' a fifth chimed in. 'Have a spring/summer series, winter/spring series, I know your entitled to a private life but frankly I don't care.'
Earlier this year, the Top Gear host revealed there were plans to rest the popular show after Jeremy had been tied up in a busy seven-year filming schedule.
Nonetheless, he raised a National Television gong for the series, proving its continued popularity among viewers.
The former Top Gear presenter was triumphant as Clarkson's Farm scooped the prize for Best Factual Entertainment, beating out strong competition from Stacey Solomon - who had not one but two shows nominated in the same category.
