Clarkson's Farm's Kaleb Cooper handles becoming dad again in hilariously 'farmer
If four seasons of Clarkson's Farm have taught us anything, it's that farmers are an unflappable bunch. Even in the face of declining harvests, biblical floods, and Jeremy Clarkson's innovative (and by innovative we mean calamitous) farming techniques, nothing gets them down. It's perhaps unsurprising then that Kaleb Cooper – Jeremy's right-hand man and farm manager – remained incredibly cool-headed while his wife went into labour with their third child. Jeremy told the story in his column for The Sun, writing: 'The boy wonder Kaleb Cooper, who manages my farm, received word this week that his wife was in labour. ''Right,' he said. 'I'll be there when I've finished harvesting this field.' 'How farmerish is that?!?!' To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video According to Jeremy, once he'd finished the harvest, Kaleb's attention turned to naming the newborn. One of their friends supposedly thought it would be a good idea to name the kid after the field that Kaleb had been harvesting when the news came through. As nice an idea as this was, Jeremy did point out one flaw: 'the field was called Deadman.' Yeah… maybe not. The news that Kaleb has welcomed his third child will come as sweet relief to the hard workers on Diddly Squat Farm, which has been his by repeated disasters in recent months. In July, Jeremy revealed that one of his cows had tested positive for TB, which meant they had to quarantine the cattle farm and one of their newborn puppies passed away. More Trending Following that, the 65-year-old revealed that the harvest this year had been catastrophically bad. Finally, the former Top Gear host turned farming advocate revealed filming on Clarkson's Farm had been disrupted by JD Vance's visit to the Cotswolds. Still, the bad news didn't stop Jeremy from celebrating A-Level results day with his annual tweet telling students not to worry about their results, as his were bad and he now has a helicopter pad.

Netflix adds 'outstanding' crime series with 96% Rotten Tomatoes score as fans beg for fourth season
Netflix has recently added a new three-season long crime drama which is so good it has viewers skipping sleep to "binge it all night". Netflix has quietly added a brilliant crime thriller series which fans "can't turn off" as they've been left begging for a fourth season of the show. Sneaky Pete, starring Giovanni Ribisi in the leading role, follows the story of con man Marius, who steals the identity of his former cellmate Pete, after being released from prison to escape a dangerous gangster. Marius tricks Pete's family into believing he is their long-lost loved one but he quickly realises that their own secrets and lies could end up making his life as dangerous as the world he was desperately trying to escape. Other stars in the show include Margo Martindale, Bryan Cranston, Libe Barer and Marin Ireland. The American crime drama, co-created by Breaking Bad star Cranston first aired in 2015 but viewers are hooked after it was recently uploaded to Netflix. Sneaky Pete concluded in 2019 after its third season but fans are now begging for a fourth season after complaining the show came to an end too soon. The show, which originally aired on Amazon Prime Video, has been showered with praise as viewers rushed to X to express their surprise at just how good it was. One fan was left questioning how they missed the initial release of the show as they wrote: "Sneaky Pete on Netflix. Watch it. Holy s***. So so good. Don't know how I missed it the first time around." A second exclaimed: "Binge worthy series if you enjoy comedic heists and cons - 'Sneaky Pete' (Amazon Prime and Netflix)." A third chimed in: "Just got thru season 1 of Sneaky Pete and I'm mad no one told me ever hyped this show up????" Somebody else added: "I should be sleep. Up watching Sneaky Pete. Never heard of this show until the other day." Yet another agreed: "All I wanna do is watch Sneaky Pete." Someone else gushed: "Sneaky Pete has all my attention!!!" Another wrote: "Sneaky Pete on Netflix is a great show if you like unexpected turns and being on the edge of your seat." Fans are now begging for a fourth season to be released after many felt the show came to an abrupt end. One wrote: "Just binged watched #sneakypete. I need another series @netflix. Loved every episode." A second echoed: "Sneaky Pete is now on Netflix. Underrated show that ended too soon." The show was renewed for a second season in 2018, three years after its first season debuted so there may be hope for fans yet if enough of a fuss is kicked up about it. Sneaky Pete's release on Netflix came just weeks before actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner's death, who plays the recurring character of Marius' parole officer, James Bagwell, in the show.

The 54-year-old star tragically passed away on July 20 after an accidental drowning while learning how to surf in Costa Rica. Fans were quick to point out his presence in the show as they took to X to say: "I'm literally finishing season 3 of 'Sneaky Pete', I was so happy to see Malcolm Jamal Warner in it, still looking youthful and vibrant." Another wrote: "I literally threw on Sneaky Pete, never even heard of it, and in comes Malcolm-Jamal Warner", alongside a sad face emoji.

The Summer I Turned Pretty and what happens to Belly, Conrad, and Jeremiah
WARNING: SPOILERS The final season of The Summer I Turned Pretty is all anyone can talk about this summer, and fans are desperate to see which Fisher brother Belly chooses in the end Fans of The Summer I Turned Pretty are eagerly awaiting the end of the series, with the final episodes being released weekly over the summer. The last episode will air on September 17, and everyone has one question on their lips - does Belly end up with Conrad or Jeremiah? The series is based on a trilogy of books by Jenny Han, and so far the television adaption, on Amazon Prime, has followed the same plot. At the end of season two, we see Belly choosing Jeremiah, which is what happens in the second book, It's Not Summer Without You. What happens in the third book? Warning: spoilers ahead The third book, We'll Always Have Summer, follows Belly's relationship with Jeremiah two years later. This differs slightly in the show - which portrays a four-year time jump. In the third book, Jeremiah admits to cheating on Belly but proposes marriage and the couple plan their wedding while trying to convince their family and friends to support their upcoming nuptuals. However, Belly and Conrad spend more time together over the summer and he ultimately reveals how he feels about her. The wedding day arrives and Jeremiah opens a letter his mother, Susannah, left for him - but the envelopes were switched and he ends up reading a letter meant for Conrad. Susannah writes in her letter to Conrad that she only ever saw him in love once, and it was with Belly. When Jeremiah confronts Belly, she tells him she has let Conrad go, but he doesn't believe her. The wedding is then called off. Who does Belly end up with - Jeremiah or Conrad? At the end of the book, Belly goes to study abroad before eventually reuniting with Conrad several years later at her college graduation. They get married, and Jeremiah even attends the wedding. Will the show follow the book's plot? Han revealed that although much of the show has followed the books, this may not be the same with the ending. She told Elite Daily that she is 'always changing things up', saying: 'People will be like, 'Why are you changing that? That was working well!' But to me, it could always be better. That's how I approach everything, so naturally I was going into this story feeling like I wanted to make it even better and try new things.' Fans have made it clear they want the show's ending to follow the book, with one writing online: 'Now before tsitp s3 comes out I just want to say that they SHOULD stick to the book ending in which she ENDS UP WITH CONRAD.' Another posted on X: 'I swear if belly says 'I choose me' at the end of TSITP, I'm MAD. There's a book everyone knows and loves so follow it. Being team Conrad isn't a choice, it's the literal book ending.' A third said: 'Hoping this last season of TSITP goes by the book ending!'
