Kaleb cooper fires swipe at jeremy clarkson and addresses 'leaving' hit show

Kaleb Cooper, who stars alongside Jeremy Clarkson on the hit series Clarkson's Farm, has given an honest review about his co-star's farming efforts so far. The duo have been

tackling the challenges of farming together for five years on the show filmed on the presenter's Diddly Squat Farm. Throughout their journey together, Jeremy and Kaleb have frequently

engaged in light-hearted bickering while navigating through the highs and lows of farm life. In the new series, the 65-year-old faces farming duties alone at first while both Kaleb and his

partner Lisa Hogan fulfil other work commitments. Reflecting on the situation in the first episode, Jeremy admitted he felt "a little bit [left] in the lurch" without Kaleb, and

later recruits new farm hand Harriet Cowan for assistance. With the new series launched on Friday, Kaleb caught up with Amanda Holden and Jamie Theakston on their Heart Radio Breakfast Show.

During their chat, the hosts asked the farmer what he'd rate Jeremy's farming skills out of 10. Reflecting on their time together so far, he remarked: "I'd say [with] 10

being the highest, probably a six. "When he first started, he was like a 0.4 and then now... I'd be unfair to say that he's not good at his job anymore, do you know what I

mean?". The 26-year-old went on to discuss Jeremy's strengths and weaknesses, adding: "For example, he's really good with the pigs, he still can't put a tractor on a

cultivator for example or any of that, but at the same time, you know, he's getting there slowly." Despite acknowledging Jeremy's improvements, Kaleb insisted he still

didn't think Jeremy was good enough to be employable on a farm. When asked if he would hire the ex-Top Gear presenter if he ran a farm, Kaleb responded with a swift: "No."

Addressing being replaced on a temporary basis, the farmer went on to explain: "I went away on tour as you guys know, and as I went on tour I thought he'd be ok basically on his

own, but it turns out, as I rated him a six, maybe it's actually rated a three because he wasn't ok on his own. "So, of course he went out there and got Harriet and Harriet

jumped on board and saved the day basically, and stepped in while I was away." Quizzed on whether he has turned his back on the show, he responded: "No, I never left, no."
