Jeremy Clarkson has announced his new book The Goat, his 25th publication with Penguin.

Jeremy Clarkson has announced the publication of his new book, The Goat, his 25th title with publisher Penguin. The former Top Gear presenter revealed the news on Instagram in a video filmed in front of a helicopter. He was dressed in his trademark checked shirt and brown jacket and held a commemorative mini trophy gift from his publisher.

Clarkson told fans: 'Good news, my new book is out. It's called The Goat, and this is the 25th book that I have published with Penguin. To mark the occasion, they have presented me with a present. It's very light, and I love the inscription: Jeremy Clarkson, No.1 author of farming books.'

According to publisher Penguin, the book promises another dose of chaos and comedy from life at Diddly Squat, documenting the highs and lows of farming. The description teases mishaps involving 'uncooperative animals, underperforming crops, and rather less than best-laid plans pursued with unbridled enthusiasm', with one particularly troublesome farm animal becoming the centre of Clarkson's latest adventure.

Since launching Clarkson's Farm on Amazon Prime Video, the broadcaster has become an unlikely champion of British agriculture. The new release follows a string of bestselling farming titles inspired by his experiences running Diddly Squat Farm.
