Clarkson’s Farm star Kaleb Cooper has landed a dig at his co-star Jeremy Clarkson.

The duo have been working together at the latter’s Diddly Squat Farm in Chadlington, Oxfordshire since 2019.

Reaching global celebrity status following 2021’s first season of Clarkson’s Farm, Kaleb featured prominently with his farming expertise and knowledge despite his young age.

Now the 26-year-old has landed a playful dig at the farming talent of his boss during a new interview as he said: “Part of me is saying he’s still a trainee.

“He’s getting there, though. We’re five years in the game now and if you haven’t picked up on certain things from five years in an industry, you’re probably in the wrong industry.”

Despite the jokes and the digs, behind the cameras there is real affection and camaraderie according to Kaleb.

“I consider him (Clarkson) as a best mate,” he said.

“We tell each other everything. I tell him everything. We text every day.”

The fourth series of Clarkson’s Farm is almost in the can and a fifth season has just been confirmed but Cooper believes their friendship will be long-lasting, with or without TV.

“What makes us have a really good friendship is the fact that if we have an argument – and of course we have a lot – 10 minutes after that big argument one of us will go, ‘Do you want a cup of tea?’ or ‘Are we going to have a pint down the pub tonight?’

“There’s no holding a grudge for four days before someone says, ‘Sorry’. We have an argument and after that, we’re fine.”
