star Gerald Cooper has a very different voice in real life, star Adam Henson has claimed.
Discussing ‘s Amazon show, Adam, 59, shared his thoughts on why he believes the programme has been a huge success, and claimed there’s a reason why Gerald’s voice is supposedly difficult to understand.
The series, which began in 2021, has followed Jeremy getting to grips with the world of farming, with the support of his sidekick Kaleb Cooper and others including his partner Lisa Hogan and farmhand Gerald.
Praising the show, the Countryfile star says it is good TV and funny, although believes this is mostly due to its “disasters”.

Speaking on The Tweedl podcast, host Sam Hargreaves said: “For TV they need these disasters and Gerald, who you can’t understand, and Kaleb [Cooper] b********g Jeremy all the time, it’s TV at the same time, but while showing disasters at the same time.”
In response, Adam made quite the revelation about Gerald’s apparent real voice off-camera.
He said: “It’s sort of reality television, isn’t it. It’s sort of documentary style, but it’s scripted and they’re setting things up.
“And, so what, that’s great. It makes it funny. And Gerald, I’ve met him a number of times and he can speak perfectly fine.

“What they do is, they record his voice and then they lay over another track of voice so that it sounds like it’s in a muddle,” he added, leaving the podcast hosts stunned.
Furthermore, Adam, who is located 45 minutes away from Jeremy’s Diddly Squat Farm in Chipping Norton, claimed the locals had been frustrated by the lengthy traffic queues since the show grew popular.
“His farm shop, it’s a nice little farm shop, but that’s pretty much all he’s got,” he added.
“He’s now got a pub and there’s queues down the road so I think for the local people that is frustrating.”
Clarkson’s Farm has not only given an insight into Jeremy’s ups and downs of farming, but it has also covered some personal moments including Gerald’s cancer battle.
The farmhand took a break away from filming following his diagnosis with prostate cancer.
By the end of the latest series, the show told fans he had thankfully managed to overcome the disease following radiotherapy.
He has since been working hard to raise funds and awareness for the disease following his recovery.
