Clarkson's Farm: Kaleb Cooper tries to fire Jeremy
Kaleb Cooper continues to be a Clarkson's Farm favourite and he will be on screens again from May 3 for season three on Amazon Prime Video. The star has become an international celebrity, known for his hilarious arguments with Jeremy Clarkson at Diddly Squat Farm.
In the new season, Kaleb erupts at Jeremy criticising some shoddy work and the former Top Gear host's lack of farming knowledge. Kaleb has dedicated his entire teenage life to farming, having started when he was just 13.
In his book, The World According to Kaleb, he opened up on how the industry saved him during a difficult time. He said: "If you're part of the farming community and you need help, no matter the day, the week, the time, they'll do anything to help you.
"When I was eleven or twelve, my mum and dad split up, and it was a rough patch in my life. Farming saved me.
"I started farming when I was thirteen. Without it, I think I would have been just a typical teenage guy who wants a normal nine-to-five job, goes to the pub every Friday and Saturday, and then does it all again the next week.

"Most people who start their own business don't do it until their late twenties. I started one when I was sixteen."

In his book, he recalled some fond childhood memories, including watching David Attenborough on the TV.
