Another played along with Jeremy's joke, writing: "Why did you read from the book? You spoiled it and now I know everything about it!"

A third chimed in: "Amazing work Jeremy. Proud of you."

Previously, Jeremy opened up about the "real reason" behind The Grand Tour ending.

He penned in : "After 36 years of talking about cars on television, I'm packing it in, because I'm too old and too fat to get into the cars I like and not interested in driving those I don't."

Meanwhile, the book's title, of course, refers to Jeremy's Diddly Squat Farm in the Cotswolds.

Three series of Clarkson's Farm have aired to date, following his journey running said farm.

Jeremy left fans excited, meanwhile, after accidentally sharing an update on the show's future.

Clarkson's Farm airs on Prime Video and follows TV personality Jeremy Clarkson as he manages his Diddly Squat Farm in the Cotswolds.

Three series have been released to date and here is an overview of what has happened so far.

Series 1

• Jeremy takes over the day-to-day running of the newly renamed Diddly Squat Farm.
• Lisa Hogan, Kaleb Cooper, "Cheerful Charlie" Ireland and Gerald Cooper are also introduced.
• Jeremy starts to assemble what he needs for his farm - as well as laying the groundwork for things to come later.
• He buys key equipment including a tractor and cultivator, as well as taking on sheep and opening a farm shop.
• Jeremy takes over the day-to-day running of the newly renamed Diddly Squat Farm.

Series 2

• This series sees Jeremy look for ways to increase the farm's revenue.
• One such example is bringing in a herd of cows although this isn't without its issues.
• Jeremy also had the idea to convert the abandoned lambing barn into a restaurant where he could sell his meat from the farm.
• For this plan to move forward, he had to get planning permission from the local council.
• Viewers also meet Pepper, a heifer among the herd who ultimately becomes the star's favourite.

Series 3

• The third series contained some of the show's most emotional moments to date.
• In heartbreaking scenes, dozens of newborn piglets died as a result of overlaying - their mother rolling on to them.
• Jeremy said goodbye to his favourite pig - the Baroness - after she developed cancer and needed to be put down. 
• Dry stonewall expert and "head of security" Gerald Cooper was diagnosed with cancer.
• Jeremy and Kaleb began a competition between themselves - with Kaleb looking after the arable side and Jeremy taking the non-arable elements.
• Fellow farmers - and famous faces - Andy Cato and George Lamb appear in this series

Ahead of series four being released, the star alluded to a potential series five.

Alongside a snap of producer Andy Wilman holding up some canine treats, he joked: "The dogs pleading with Andy Wilman to be in season 5."
