Cheerful Charlie has become one of our favourites on Amazon Prime's Clarkson's Farm so who is he? Here's everything you need to know.

Clarkson's Farm has a whole collection of workers we've grown to love over the Amazon Prime seasons from Kaleb Cooper, to Lisa Hogan and of course, Charlie Ireland.

Most commonly known as 'Cheerful Charlie' - Jeremy Clarkson often makes fun of the TV star for his negative and realistic methods and costs of running a successful farm.

But just like the other workers on Diddly Squat farm, Charlie isn't a celebrity but a real worker - so who is he? Keen to get to know him more, viewers have been in search of clearer answers about his job, personal life including wife and children and much more.

Charlie's personal life is completely private, however, we do know that he has sons, although how many, names and ages are unclear.

On his Ceres Rural profile, it says: "He loves spending time with his family and will soon struggle to come to terms with the fact his sons are faster, stronger and hit a cricket ball further than he can!"

What else do we know about Charlie Ireland?

As seasons go on, we are slowly getting to know Cheerful Charlie more but for now, very little is known about him outside of Diddly Squat farm.

He does, however, have an Instagram page @runcheerfulcharlie, which is dedicated to all of his runs where he raises money for multi neurone disease. He has just completed the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon.
