Clarkson’s Farm star Kaleb Cooper reveals what his relationship with Jeremy is REALLY like behind-the-scenes as he opens up on working with the presenter
Clarkson’s Farm star Kaleb Cooper has revealed what his relationship with Jeremy Clarkson is really like behind-the-scenes.
The farmer, 26, shot to fame on the Prime Video series, where his bickering with the former Top Gear host, 64, garners more attention than the farming itself.
And speaking in a new interview, Kaleb admits that while what viewers see is what they get, only ’40 per cent’ of the pair’s rows are actually shown onscreen.
Detailing their relationship, Kaleb told The Sun: Everything you see on the camera is everything you see behind-the-scenes as well. I mean yes we still argue and I reckon they probably only show 40 per cent of the arguments we actually have.
‘But the main thing is that if we have an argument, ten minutes later we’re best friends again. We’ll be like “do you want a cup of tea? Do you want to go to the pub? Do you want to go for a meal?”‘

Kaleb added that their ability to resolve their rows and move on are what he believes ‘what makes a good relationship’.
Kaleb, who since starring on the show has gone on to release books and head out on his own live tour, went on to how grateful he is to the Grand Tour star for introducing him to the world of TV and showbiz, adding that he’s his ‘hero’.
He shared: ‘I mean I thank him by teaching him a few things about farming. I am thankful to him for bringing me onto the screen, and hopefully we are teaching each other things along the way. Yes he is my hero and he’s on my hero list and he’s taught me so much about television and hopefully I’m teaching him a lot about farming.’
Kaleb added that there was ‘no one better’ to learn from than Jeremy himself.
Clarkson’s Farm sees Jeremy, Kaleb and the gang wrestle with the daily challenges of running his 1,000-acre Diddly Squat Farm in the Cotswolds countryside.
The first two series, released in June 2021 and February 2023, were major successes immediately with Kaleb’s and Jeremy’s strong personalities.
Series three sees challenges at the farm, with plans to open a restaurant shut down due to local council red tape and the introduction of pigs to try to boost income.
Estimated to have a net worth of £55 million, the new series of Clarkson’s Farm shows him investing in new ways to try and make money.
Speaking in a new interview, Kaleb admits that while what viewers see is what they get, only ’40 per cent’ of the pair’s rows are actually shown onscreen.

It comes after Kaleb left fans in stitches as he snubbed the NTAs on stage at the 2024 awards evening held at London‘s O2 Arena on Wednesday night.
The farmer captured the nation’s hearts once again during the awards ceremony, as viewers were in awe of his transformative appearance and irresistible charm.
He ditched his muddy gloves and sensible work gear for a dashing black tuxedo, which he paired with a crisp white shirt.
But as the loveable star was heard reading out the nominees for the award – namely, Ant & Dec, Bradley Walsh, Alison Hammond, Bradley Walsh, Claudia Winkleman and Stacey Solomon – he took a little swipe at the show.
As the star began presenting the award, he joked and said ‘National Tractor Awards’ instead of National Television Awards.
And fans couldn’t get enough of him as they loved the little nod to his home roots and British farming, rather than leaning into the usual world of showbiz glitz.
Flocking to X, formerly known as Twitter, fans gushed over the TV star.
