Kaleb Cooper has revealed his genuine feelings towards Jeremy Clarkson , following a series of playful jibes at his Clarkson’s Farm co-star. The popular Prime Video programme has followed Jeremy’s frequently chaotic farming adventure since 2021 – with Kaleb steadfastly supporting him throughout. Renowned for his forthright manner and sharp wit, the 27-year-old has emerged as a standout personality and fan favourite, with a staggering three million Instagram followers. Despite carving out his own successful career amid his newfound fame however, Kaleb maintains that he has no intention of departing the farm. In a recent interview, he revealed a softer side to him while talking about his bond with Jeremy. “I love the bloke to pieces. Whenever I have a problem or need some advice, I simply go and sit down with him,” he said. “I hope that I teach him a little bit about farming, but he teaches me so much. When I went on tour, he told me about his Top Gear days with live audiences, so I’ve got a great mentor. “Jeremy’s been around the world. He’s done all the TV. He’s great at making TV.” Kaleb continued by sharing what he had discovered about Jeremy over the years, adding: “Watching that bloke’s brain work is unbelievable – it’s honestly mind-blowing.” In true Kaleb fashion though, he couldn’t help but deliver another cheeky dig when asked if he views Jeremy as a father figure. “I would say grandad probably,” he quipped to The Western Mail newspaper. The farmer’s latest comments come following the release of his brand new children’s book, Kaleb’s Farmyard Tales: Escaping Animals and Runaway Tractors, in which he branded Jeremy “the worst farmer” he’d ever witnessed. He did however have some praise for his co-star by acknowledging that he was “quite a good pig farmer”. Kaleb also recently left Heart Radio hosts speechless when asked why he named the runt of a pig litter Jeremy, in his latest book. During his Heart Radio appearance, Kaleb joked: “I don’t know really, I just thought it was a great name. It sums up… you know, every Jeremy is always a little bit of a runt.” Kaleb’s witty banter has earned him devoted fans, who have called for him to have his own programme. One supporter posted on X (previously Twitter ): “Hahaha Kaleb off this Jeremy Clarkson farms needs his own show, he’s funny him.”(sic) Another commented: “Literally love this show. Shows a whole new light on farming – hilarious. Kaleb should have his own show, he’s so funny, keep them coming Jeremy.” A third proposed: “Give Kaleb and Jeremy their own show where Jeremy travels around the world with Kaleb! Love the double act!” The success of Clarkson’s Farm was demonstrated at the recent National Television Awards, where it claimed Best Factual Entertainment. Collecting the accolade, Jeremy commended the agricultural team for their dedication, declaring on stage: “We’re genuinely thrilled. And equally, there are those of us who farm here and we’ve scrubbed up so well you wouldn’t know it. “But there are farmers – Kaleb, Harriet, Charlie, and Gerald who isn’t here – who work incredibly hard. I mean, way harder than anyone in this room. And I do mean that.”
