Four years later, 25-year-old Kaleb is half of perhaps the best-loved \u2013 and certainly the most novel \u2013 double act on TV, thanks to his role on Clarkson\u2019s Farm, the Amazon Prime series that has followed the former Top Gear presenter\u2019s often disastrous attempts to run his 1,000-acre farm.<\/p>\n<p>Kaleb, who worked for the farm\u2019s previous manager before Jeremy took over operations in 2019, came along for the ride.\u00a0His deadpan gags and witty observations have made him a star in his own right.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>From his thoughts on sheep (\u2018suicidal morons\u2019) to his take on Clarkson (\u2018there are two types of farming, unless you count whatever it is Jeremy thinks he\u2019s doing\u2019), he has proved to be the beating heart of the show.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/12\/18\/76393647-12614853-Kaleb_Cooper_25_from_Chipping_Norton_worked_for_the_farm_s_previ-m-5_1697131269183.jpg\" height=\"685\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Kaleb Cooper, 25, from Chipping Norton, worked for the farm\u2019s previous manager before Jeremy Clarkson took over operations in 2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Given his unique take on the world, it was no surprise publishers came running. Last year Kaleb wrote his first book \u2013 the first he\u2019d ever read, he confides.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The World According To Kaleb was an immediate bestseller, and a year on he\u2019s written another, taking himself out of his comfort zone in the process.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Born and bred in Chipping Norton, Kaleb ventured rather further afield to investigate rural customs in the UK.<\/p>\n<p>Britain According To Kaleb: The Wonderful World Of Country Life is a whistle-stop tour of traditions from Wife Carrying Championships in Dorking to cheese rolling in Gloucestershire, where Kaleb saw a remarkable sight.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Halfway down, this American woman knocked herself out, but came around at the bottom and someone whispered in her ear, \u201cYou\u2019ve won the race.\u201d She started cheering,\u2019 he says. \u2018Madness!\u2019<\/p>\n<p>But fans need not worry \u2013 Kaleb isn\u2019t leaving the small screen any time soon.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There were rumours Amazon wouldn\u2019t recommission the show in the wake of the widely criticised newspaper column Clarkson wrote about Meghan Markle last December. Happily, it was confirmed a new series is in the offing.<\/p>\n<p>Kaleb is tight-lipped on behind-the-scenes secrets, but he does reveal that new animals will join the show. \u2018I don\u2019t want to admit it, but we\u2019ve got pigs now, and Jeremy\u2019s actually good at pig farming,\u2019 he says.<\/p>\n<p>In some ways it makes little difference to Kaleb whether the TV cameras are there or not.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I\u2019m still sat on my tractor doing my day job,\u2019 he says. \u2018It doesn\u2019t change what I\u2019m doing.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This, of course, is key to the show\u2019s success. \u2018Everything that you see is real. As soon as you start writing scripts it wouldn\u2019t work. So the arguments you see, that\u2019s all just how it is.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/12\/18\/76393649-12614853-Kaleb_shares_a_joke_with_the_fossil_Jeremy_on_the_show_While_the-a-1_1697130287901.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Kaleb shares a joke with Jeremy on the show. While they sometimes bicker on Clarkson&#8217;s Farm, the pair get on famously\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ah yes, the arguments. There\u2019s no shortage of them, and insults are frequently exchanged (Clarkson calling Kaleb a \u2018rural half-wit\u2019, Kaleb in turn labelling him a \u2018f***ing idiot\u2019 was one of their choicer exchanges).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We argue and then we won\u2019t talk for two days, but after that we\u2019re fine. Someone says, \u201cDo you want a cup of tea?\u201d We never get offended really and we don\u2019t bear grudges. He takes everything on the chin.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>In truth, the pair get on famously. \u2018We\u2019re really good friends,\u2019 says Kaleb. \u2018We go to the pub. We go to concerts. He took me to my first ever Who concert the other day.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Kaleb\u2019s next project is a bursary he\u2019s set up with the Royal Agricultural University for those looking to begin a career in agriculture.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It suggests he\u2019s made a bit of money from his time in the public eye, although he\u2019s far too sensible to start flashing the cash.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018My dream is to buy my own farm\u2019, he says. \u2018So everything goes towards that. I want to wake up in the morning and say, \u201cI\u2019m going to plant wheat in that field, because it\u2019s my farm.\u201d\u2019<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a dream that\u2019s been renewed since the birth of his children Oscar, two, and four-month-old Willa with his partner Taya. \u2018My other half is absolutely amazing,\u2019 he says. \u2018She keeps everything going.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>What does Taya make of him becoming a celebrity and \u2013 whisper it \u2013 a bit of a heart-throb? \u2018I don\u2019t know about that,\u2019 he laughs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018As soon as someone has the celebrity name on their head it changes who they are a bit, but I\u2019m still the same person sat on a tractor doing the job I love.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>As for his final word, is Kaleb prepared to admit the man he\u2019s dubbed \u2018the fossil\u2019 has learned a thing or two under his tutelage? It turns out, he is. \u2018He\u2019s got a little knowledge now, but that\u2019s dangerous, isn\u2019t it?\u2019 he adds.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018In the nicest possible way it would be easier for everybody if Jeremy just b*****ed off back to London, but I don\u2019t think that\u2019s going to happen. For better or for worse, he loves the farming life.\u2019<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Britain According To Kaleb (Quercus) is out now in hardback (\u00a320), ebook and audio.
