Clarkson's Farm fans left 'sobbing' after learning fate of Diddly Squat favourite

Clarkson's Farm fans have been left overcome with emotion after discovering a beloved animal on Diddly Squat Farm was saved from the slaughterhouse. 

Series three of Clarkson's Farm landed on Prime Video in recent weeks to the delight of fans, but Jeremy Clarkson and his partner Lisa Hogan suffered some devastating losses on their Chipping Norton farm throughout the past year. 

They had to make the gut-wrenching decision to send their cows to an abattoir during the first part of the series, before turning their efforts into rearing piglets. 

However, the death of numerous piglets was a heartbreaking watch, with Lisa and Jeremy being left devastated over their unexpected deaths.

Throughout the series, viewers were left wondering what had happened to Pepper the cow, whom Jeremy and everyone on Diddly Squat Farm had grown particularly fond of in recent years. 

While many fans presumed she was taken to the slaughterhouse, others held out hope for the popular farm animal who had become somewhat of an Oxfordshire celebrity in her own right. 

Viewers breathed a sigh of relief after learning Pepper's fate at the end of series three, as Jeremy once promised to protect her. 

During the last episode of series three, Jeremy, 64, took Lisa to a Northamptonshire farm to share a huge surprise with her.

After waving goodbye to Pepper almost a year ago, Lisa was over the moon to see she was alive and well. 

To add to the heartwarming moment, they discovered Pepper had also become a mother to a sweet calf, affectionately named Tabatha. 

They found out Pepper fell pregnant soon after she was sold, which actually saved her from being killed. 

Viewers flocked to social media to comment on the touching reunion with Pepper who was beside her calf enjoying grass in their field. 

Jon shared with crying emojis: "#ClarksonsFarm Aww... Pepper survived after leaving Diddly Squat and had a baby." Meanwhile, Chris said: "The star of #ClarksonsFarm has to be Pepper and her lil Pepper surely."

Emma exclaimed: "WHY AM I SOBBING OVER A COW ?!?! #ClarksonsFarm." Another tearful viewer noted: "Who else cried when they saw Pepper and Tabatha? #ClarksonsFarm?" 

A fourth fan noted: "@JeremyClarkson has made me cry with laughter so many times over the years. Never thought he'd have me cry ugly tears. I was very sad when he ditched the pet cow pepper, but when Barrowness died, Niagara Falls #clarksonsfarm." 

Clarkson's Farm series three is available to watch on Prime Video.
