Model-turned-TV star Kelly Brook has filmed a pilot for a farming TV show that could see her rival the popularity of Jeremy Clarkson’s show.

The 43-year-old has revealed she and her husband, Jeremy Parisi, have been working on a new documentary following their life on an Italian olive farm.

And with the future of the popular Amazon Prime Video series, Clarkson’s Farm, appearing unclear following outrage caused by Mr Clarkson's column about Meghan Markle, there could be a gap in the market.

Mr Clarkson is currently filming the third season of the show, which documents the workings of his 1,000-acre holding in the Cotswolds, with production set to wrap in October.

Sharing behind-the-scenes photos on social media, which sees Ms Kelly posing in olive groves and visiting pizzerias, she gave a sneak peek of the show.

She wrote: “Last autumn, my husband and I filmed a pilot on his family farm in Italy during the olive harvest and captured the beauty of where he is from and the beautiful family I married into.

"We are not sure if this pilot will ever become a TV show, however, we are hoping one day it might.

“Arpino is where we were married and is definitely a place we will be spending more time in the future and I’m looking forward to learning more about the business of olive oil farming.”

Ms Kelly also thanked production company Fulwell 73, co-run by James Corden, brothers Gabe and Ben Turner, and directors Leo Pearlman and Ben Winston.

The former Top Gear host recently teased fans by posting to X, formerly known as Twitter, that there was “fantastic news” coming up for Clarkson’s Farm fans.

Many fans speculated that this was going to be a positive update on future episodes and seasons of the show but it turned out to be a litter of piglets gracing Diddly Squat Farm.

The teaser post arrived hours after the show was defended at the Edinburgh TV Festival by Amazon representative Fozia Khan.

Ms Khan, unscripted lead, UK Originals for Amazon Studios, was asked why they continued with the show following the controversial column, which was the subject of numerous complaints to the press watchdog, the Independent Press Standards Organisation (Ipso).

She said the team were “shocked and disappointed” but ultimately made the decision to continue the show.

She added: “I mean, there’s lots of conversations going on. But I think the thing that I want to say is that the show is so much bigger than Clarkson.”

“It’s a really good show.”

Ipso upheld a complaint that the column was sexist towards the duchess, describing some of the comments about her as “pejorative and prejudicial”.

The regulator found the article’s use of a comparison to Scotland’s former first minister, Nicola Sturgeon, and serial killer Rose West was because the three are female.

In the December 17 2022 article, Mr Clarkson wrote: “I hate her (Meghan). Not like I hate Nicola Sturgeon or Rose West. I hate her on a cellular level.”

Mr Clarkson apologised for the piece, describing his language as “disgraceful” and said he was “profoundly sorry”.

The Sun also apologised and said it regretted the publication of the column, which was removed online.

Dan Grabiner, head of originals for UK and Northern Europe, Amazon Studios, told the audience at the EICC: “I can’t tell you what a phenomenon the show itself is and the impact it has had on the agricultural community and farming.

“We get messages from farmers around the world who just love the show and love Kaleb (Cooper) and Gerald (Cooper) and they relate to those characters, saying they have never really seen their world properly reflected on-screen before, which is amazing.

“And, as Fozia said, it’s a hell of a lot bigger than Jeremy Clarkson.”
