Kelvin Fletcher’s farming series slammed as viewers brand it 'rip off' of Clarkson's Farm

"I am going to have to stop, I am going to faint," he admitted.

Following the programme, viewers took to social media to share their thoughts. And while some praised the soap star, others felt it was too similar to Jeremy Clarkson's series.

Mark raged: "All the fuss about the quality of new @BBC programs & #KelvinsBigFarmingAdventure is basically a #clarksonsfarm ripoff." (sic)

Rob joked: "When you buy Clarksons Farm on wish.com #clarksonsfarm."

While user Glasgow Lass said: "#KelvinsBigFarmingAdventure on the #BBC is a perfect example of why @NadineDorries should be scrapping the licence fee. Celeb buys farm in copy of Clarkson series, narrated by a champagne socialist, paid for by the #BBCLicenceFee ie you at home. Disgraceful."

"#KelvinsBigFarmingAdventure What an original, imaginative Idea. This is why they pay the BBC Execs the big bucks. @JeremyClarkson," Barry commented.

Kelvin's Big Farming Adventure airs on Monday at 8.30pm on BBC One.
