Celebrity Gogglebox star Shaun Ryder takes brutal swipe at Jeremy Clarkson during Clarkson’s Farm
Shaun Ryder didn't hold any punches when he watched the hit show Clarkson's Farm, on the latest episode of Celebrity Gogglebox.
The British singer-songwriter is well-known as the lead singer of the Happy Mondays and even appeared on the Channel 4 show last night (13 June) alongside one of the band's former dancers, Bez.
One of the TV shows that was played for the show's celebs on Friday night was none other than Prime Video fan favourite, Clarkson's Farm.
Headed up by former Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson, the programme's fourth season was recently released, in two parts, as eager fans tuned in to see how the team was dealing with Diddly Squat Farm and the hectic opening of Clarkson's pub, The Farmer's Dog.

But while the show rakes in the viewership, Ryder didn't seem to be much of a fan.
The 62-year-old zeroed in on Clarkson in particular, enjoying his stint as a TV critic on Gogglebox.
A clip of Clarkson asking his new farmhand Harriet for assistance with auctions was shown to the participants, though Ryder wasn't shy in showing his disapproval.
In the episode, Clarkson can be heard saying that 'there's no need to panic' as Harriet 'agreed to come along and hold my hand'.
Ryder claimed: "I actually don't believe that Jeremy's not got a clue, really.
"He's a f***ing know it all, isn't he?"
While rumours of Harriet replacing fan-favourite Kaleb Cooper flew around before the season's premiere, following his newfound fame, he was quick to calm the whispers down, making appearances in the show's latest season.
"I'm still involved, yeah. There's lots of rumours going out that I've been replaced but I'm still here," he said at the time.
It was recently announced that Luke Littler and Angry Ginge were the latest additions to an already stacked lineup on Celebrity Gogglebox.
Other big names included Jamie Laing and Munya Chawawa, Vicky Pattinson and Pete Wicks, Jess Glynne and Alex Scott, George and Larry Lamb, as well as Strictly stars Ellie Simmonds and Richie Anderson, among others.
As well as showing Clarkson's Farm to the contestants, clips of Elon Musk were also part of the selection on Friday, in addition to clips of film icon Hugh Grant in Heretic.
Ryder's comments are not the first bit of criticism that the show has got from viewers, as many weren't pleased with Clarkson's treatment of his pub's staff in the season four finale, causing them to walk out on the eve of its opening day.
