The return of Vinnie Jones' popular farming and country life programme has been confirmed for a second series.

Documenting his attempts at renovating a 'knackered' Sussex farm in Petworth, the Hollywood hardman has confirmed Vinnie Jones in the Country will be back for a second series later this year.

After showing his more sensitive side during the first season of the show, when he opened up about mental health, grief, farming, his passion for the countryside and raising money for the Farming Community Network, Mr Jones enthusiastically told fans of the show he was currently filming another instalment of the programme.

He said: "We have got a problem.

"A problem with talking about how we are feeling.

"We do not talk about our emotions, we would rather talk about football, day in and day out.

"But we forget sometimes we need to talk about other things too.

"We are all team mates on the same side.

"I am talking about the millions of fans up and down the country.

"They are all your team mates, and team mates look out for each other, they listen to each other, and that could save a life."

Vinnie Jones in the CountryÌýwill return to Discovery+ later this year.
