Jeremy shared a snap of a new donkey, writing: “Please welcome to Diddly Squat. New Ben.”

It’s believed to have replace a previous donkey called Ben who was regularly posted on social media alongside his companion Bill, having come to Diddly Squat Farm to spend their retirement in June 2025.

In the comments, many asked Jeremy whether new Ben would be living with another donkey.

One wrote: “I hope you have another donkey for Ben, donkeys shouldn’t live on their own and other livestock aren’t suitable companions.”

Jeremy replied: “Yes. We know that.”

Jeremy has confirmed a sixth series is in development, fans may be waiting longer than expected.

Unfortunately, the presenter told how he was forced to halt filming on the farm because of the weather.

He wrote to fans in his Sunday Times column: “There’s no filming happening on the farm at the moment, or farming.

“It hasn’t stopped raining since the beginning of the year, so I can’t plant anything, and I can’t do anything with my cows either because we are still locked down by TB.”

Diddly Squat Farm was hit by a bovine tuberculosis outbreak last October.

Jeremy assured fans at the time that the bacterial disease didn’t affect humans just his “poor cows.”

Bovine Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease of cattle and badgers.

It is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis) which can also infect and cause disease in many other mammals including humans, deer, goats, pigs, cats, dogs and badgers.

In cattle, it is mainly a respiratory disease.

The TV legend is yet to announce when filming for the sixth series is expected to commence.

In December, he said: “We’ll definitely do six series, Amazon want to and I want to.

“I’ve got a good idea for six.

“I said I’ll stop doing them when there are no more ideas. But I’ve got two quite good ones, so we’ll do six and then we’ll see…”
