He says he worked up to 130-hour weeks on his dad Richard's vast Cheshire farm from the age of nine when he first learned to use the potato harvester and was repeatedly promised it would all be his one day.

Adam, 59, says he often worked for little or no pay on the Chelford farm and sacrificed a more lucrative life as a designer to graft alongside his dad. But when the 81-year-old died of cancer in 2018, he left Adam without a penny and left a large slice of his fortune to Adam's 57-year-old stepmum, Jennifer Scott. Jennifer, who was 28 years younger than Richard, is now farming his land as her late husband's executor. Her two sons, Gordon and William Redgrave-Scott, and Adam's sister, Rebecca Horley, also stand to benefit under Richard's last will, London's High Court heard.
