A Clarkson’s Farm star is in some pain after suffering a ‘busted ankle’.
Kaleb Cooper, 26, has become a household name since rising to fame with Jeremy Clarkson on the Amazon Prime Video series, which is set on the former Top Gear star’s Diddly Squat farm.
The farmer has become a star in his own right, and he was kept busy at this year’s Royal Three Counties show in Worcestershire despite his recent injury.
‘I may be hobbling around because I’ve got a bit of a busted ankle, but it’ll be fine,’ he said in a video shared to the event’s official Instagram account before a packed schedule on Sunday.
He kicked off his day at a Future of Farming talk at 11am, followed by a Machinery Demo in the Main Arena at 12:45pm, and an appearance at the Food & Drink Theatre 45 minutes later.
Earlier in the week, he’d been spotted at Cereals 2025 – another farming festival – moving around on a mobility scooter in photos published by the Oxford Mail.
Kaleb seemed to be in good spirits as he chatted to locals, although his foot was still in a protective boot at the time.
He had vowed to still be at the Three Counties event too, despite revealing days earlier that he had ‘fractured’ his ankle.
In another Instagram Story, he said: ‘Just got back from football and trying to haul my a** to shut the chickens up… look at that ankle.’
Thankfully for Kaleb, his schedule will start to get a bit easier after Jeremy confirmed Clarkson’s Farm is taking a ‘short break’ after its upcoming fifth series.
The programme recently returned for a fourth season, and while another series is already in the works, there’ll be a chance for everyone to down tools in the near future.
Jeremy has had some health setbacks, with a heart operation in 2024, and he recently put his back out with no clue how he managed it.
‘I’d do a sixth if there was a reason for doing it, like a bloody good story. But if, say, my back turns out to be cancerous then I wouldn’t,’ he quipped in an interview with The Times.
The former Grand Tour presenter confirmed that either way, there’ll be a ‘short break’ after the fifth series.
He added: ‘Whatever happens we’ll definitely take a short break as the crews are all worn out. We’ve been filming here two or three days a week, every week, for five years. Everybody could do with a rest.’
There had been some concern from fans that Kaleb’s role was being scaled back for the fourth series as farmhand Harriet Cowan appeared to be replacing him.
However, Jeremy soon explained that Kaleb’s other commitments meant he needed someone else to help out.
‘What happened is this, he went away on his speaking tour, for a couple of months because he imagined that after four years, I’d be able to manage on my own,’ Jeremy explained.
‘I didn’t – I made a complete mess of everything and had to bring in a young girl called Harriet. Harriet is brilliant and looked after the fort until he got back.’
Clarkson’s Farm is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video.
