Vinnie Jones shares major update on beloved Discovery+ show In the Country after one series on air
VINNIE Jones has shared an update on one of his latest television projects.
The former professional footballer turned actor stars in reality show Vinnie Jones: In The Country for Discovery Plus.
In this series, Vinnie Jones, 59, takes on 2,000 acres of West Sussex countryside, in addition to over-ambitious farmyard build projects.
Taking to Instagram, the star posted a video as he shared the latest news to fans of the popular show.
Vinnie and co-star Paul Worby aka “Wobs” are seen in the clip, which was posted on the social media site over the weekend.
Wobs asked the ex-footballer: “What are we doing?”
To which Vinnie excitedly replied: “We’re doing season two of In The Country!”
Back in May 2023, it was revealed that the famed hardman was to star in a reality series documenting his love of the great outdoors.
A TV insider said at the time: “This show will see Vinnie in a totally different light, where viewers can witness his vulnerable side.
“It’ll be hugely uplifting and great fun as Vinnie and his family take on living in the country and bonding at the same time.”
Previously, The Sun told how Vinnie had fallen for personal assistant Emma Ford while filming series one.
Emma appears in the programme, where she is seen helping Vinnie run his farm in Petworth, West Sussex.
Pals had said Vinnie had been brought back to life by the former model, whom he affectionately calls “Blondie”.
A source said: “Vinnie and Emma’s relationship was very organic and started as purely a working friendship before it developed into something more.
“They’re not rushing into anything and just take every day as it comes.”
It was revealed exclusively by The Sun that Vinnie will open up about his new romance in the second series of In The Country.
In 2019, Vinnie lost Tanya, his wife of 25 years, following a six-year battle with cancer.
Tanya, who was 53 at the time of her death, married Vinnie in 1994 with the pair having first met at the age of 12.
As for the show’s return, a TV insider said: “In The Country was a sensation when it first aired, because it showed a very different side to Vinnie, who most people think of as a hardman on the pitch and the movie screen.
“In fact, images of him being at one with nature and tackling important issues, including men’s mental health, helped make it one of Discovery’s biggest shows.
“So it’s not a shock to learn it’s coming back.”
Vinnie Jones: In The Country airs on Discovery Plus.
