Having appeared in films - more often than not - as a villainous ‘tough guy' alongside Jason Statham, Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mr Jones' said he cannot wait to show people the ‘joy and beauty' of farming and the British countryside.

Taking inspiration from Jeremy Clarkson's Amazon Prime series Clarkson's Farm, the show will centre on Mr Jones' tribulations in the countryside as he renovates his ‘knackered' 400 year-old West Sussex farm in Petworth.

England footballing legend Paul Gascoigne will also appear on the show.

"Not one of these animals or birds asks me for a selfie.

"It is ******* wonderful."
