Clarkson's Farm star Kaleb Cooper hasn't shied away from sharing his honest thoughts on Jeremy Clarkson's farming efforts so far.
The duo have spent five years together on the popular show, which documents Jeremy getting to grips with duties on his Diddly Squat Farm.
‌
Throughout the series, Jeremy, 65, and Kaleb have frequently engaged in light-hearted bickering while navigating the challenges of farm life and managing livestock.
‌
While reflecting on the last few years of their partnership with Heart Radio presenters Amanda Holden and Jamie Theakston, the 26-year-old was asked to rate Jeremy's farming skills out of 10.
He remarked: "I'd say [with] 10 being the highest, probably a six.
"When he first started, he was like a 0.4 and then now... I'd be unfair to say that he's not good at his job anymore, do you know what I mean?".

Kaleb went on to discuss Jeremy's strengths and weaknesses, adding: "For example, he's really good with the pigs, he still can't put a tractor on a cultivator for example or any of that, but at the same time, you know, he's getting there slowly."

Despite acknowledging Jeremy's progress, Kaleb made a U-turn on his kind words and confessed he wouldn't hire him.
‌
When asked if he would employ the ex-Top Gear presenter if he were in charge of a farm, he bluntly responded: "No."
Fans of Clarkson's Farm will see Jeremy facing farming duties alone at the start of the new series, while Kaleb and his partner Lisa Hogan fulfil other work commitments.
Speaking to the camera, he said while he is pleased for Kaleb's success on tour, he felt "a little bit [left] in the lurch," amongst the ongoing farm hurdles.
‌
After realising the struggle, he employs a new farm hand, 28-year-old Harriet Cowan.
Addressing being replaced, Kaleb told the presenters: "I went away on tour as you guys know, and as I went on tour I thought he'd be ok basically on his own, but it turns out, as I rated him a six, maybe it's actually rated a three because he wasn't ok on his own.
"So, of course he went out there and got Harriet and Harriet jumped on board and saved the day basically, and stepped in while I was away."

Quizzed further on rumours about him leaving the show, Kaleb replied: "No, I never left, no."
The first four episodes of the new Clarkson's Farm series has launched today on Prime Video.
Episode five to six will be available from May 30, with the final two episodes available to stream from June 6.
