He said: "I am absolutely delighted to be a core part of ITV’s new breakfast schedule.

"Alongside the brilliant Shivi, we’ll be bringing the viewers exactly what they need from Sunday morning TV – relaxed viewing, plenty of enjoyment for the family and all on the site of my wonderful working farm which brings plenty of entertainment itself. 

"I look forward to sharing fun packed sunny mornings on the farm with ITV viewers."

Katie Rawcliffe, head of entertainment commissioning at ITV, said: "Jimmy and Shivi’s Farmhouse Breakfast will provide a wholesome start to your weekend mornings away from the studio – your weekends start with us on ITV.”
