Jimmy and Shivi's Farmhouse Breakfast - Jimmy Doherty talks life on the farm
ok.co.ukJimmy Doherty and Shivi Ramoutar are forming a foodie dream team as they join forces for a cooking show with a twist.The pair will try out new recipes, meet a variety of animals and chat to some special guests, all broadcast from Jimmy’s farm in Suffolk. “We’ve filmed a number of series on the farm, so it was a very easy fit,” says Jimmy, 49. “We’re well set up for having a film crew on the farm with the animals and, of course, we have so many different ones that each tell a different story. “Not only have we got a working farm with pigs, cattle and sheep, but we also have a wildlife park with monkeys, lemurs, camels, crocs, bears and wolves!” Shivi was thrilled to star in a show filmed outside of a TV studio and even more excited to be working with Jimmy. “I’m like a Jimmy stalker,” laughs Shivi, 40. “I’ve always been a big fan of his.
