Clarkson’s Farm: Who is star Kaleb Cooper and is he related to Gerald?

Clarkson’s Farm has already proved popular with viewers – but Jeremy Clarkson isn’t the only star.

The Amazon Prime Video series follows The Grand Tour motorhead’s life on Diddly Squat Farm, which he bought more than a decade ago and eventually took over in 2019.

However, 21-year-old Kaleb Cooper has been a revelation for viewers, with the youngster providing plenty of entertainment over the first eight-part series.

The pair have formed a likeable double act, and Jeremy recently revealed how he brought him on board.

Jeremy said: ‘We needed a tractor driver for the series and we looked everywhere. I said, “I tell you what, you could look at the guy who’s actually doing the tractoring here now anyway.”

‘So we got Kaleb and I think you’ll all agree he’s good on television. He knows his stuff, he’s young, he’s got bad hair – everything was right.’

Here’s everything you need to know about Kaleb and his farm.

Where is Kaleb Cooper’s farm?

Formerly Curdle Hill Farm, Jeremy bought Diddly Squat Farm in 2008.

It was formerly part of the Sarsden estate in Oxfordshire, and it’s set in around a thousand acres of land.

Local villager Howard had been running things on a contract basis, but he retired a couple of years ago and Jeremy stepped up to the plate.

Are Kaleb and Gerald related?

Kaleb and Gerald Cooper both work on the farm and share a surname – so plenty of people have been wondering if they’re related.

Gerald has already been a hit with viewers despite his strong and often incomprehensible local accent.

Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be any other connection between the pair, with no suggestion they’re actually relatives.

What is Kaleb Cooper’s Instagram?

Kaleb has built up quite the fanbase on social media, with over 79,000 followers on Instagram.

He posts plenty of clips from the show and pictures of his farming work – you can keep up to date with them all here.

Despite his fame, Kaleb’s not sure how far he’ll take his TV work, having recently admitted he’d only be keen on more television projects if they were in the same realm.

‘Personally I would love to [do more TV] but as long as it’s included in the farming side of stuff. I wouldn’t want to do anything that isn’t farming,’ he recently explained.

‘No, not Love Island! Maybe I’m A Celebrity. I’d be good on that. But I’m not sure to be honest. We’ll see what the future holds.’

Clarkson’s Farm is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video.
