Clarkson’s Farm has gone down a storm with viewers since starting on Amazon Prime in 2021.

Vinnie, 59, says he likes the show but was “f*****g p****d off, because I’d already had the idea”.

He instead launched a countryside-themed YouTube channel and now has a Discovery+ show — Vinnie Jones in the Country — which returns for its second series this month.

But he told The Sunday Times magazine it still rankled when TV bosses got back in touch.

FA Cup winner Vinnie said: “I went, ‘I told you this two years ago’.

“I was before my time.”

He added: “They went ‘We want this! We want the farm!’

“B******s. Can you imagine?”

Vinnie said Clarkson was a ’novice’ farmer.

He said: “Another Clarkson? No, it ain’t.

Clarkson’s Farm fate revealed as Prime Video make big announcement about Jeremy’s show future

“My show’s about the countryside, it’s not about some novice who’s bought a farm.”

“It’s very, very different from Clarkson’s Farm…we don’t grow anything.

“We don’t have any animals or anything like that.

“It’s all part-timers and misfits…We are definitely not Clarkson’s Farm!!!”
