Kaleb Cooper: ‘The failure to support farmers will lead to England being at war with itself’

If the last outing for Clarkson’s Farm was about the battle between Diddly Squat and West Oxfordshire district council, its third series offers a new conflict: the proprietor versus Kaleb Cooper. Jeremy Clarkson’s latest scheme is to split his 1,000 acres between them to see who can generate the most dosh.
The inevitable bickering will, no doubt, prove to be another ratings success for Amazon Prime − and much of that is down to the affable 25-year-old Cooper. He is the undisputed breakout star of the show, and has published a bestselling book, recently finished a live stage tour and attracted 2.3 million followers on Instagram. His success is such that he tells me: “I get naked pictures every now and then on a Saturday.” Women or men? “Both. I think everyone’s drinking at eight o’clock.” Not bad going for a chap who “got a nosebleed” when he once had to stray nine miles from his hometown.
