Jeremy Clarkson sends stark warning to Kaleb over awkward reaction to new star
Jeremy Clarkson hired a replacement for farmhand Kaleb Cooper this series - however, the star wasn't best pleased to learn that he his position had been temporarily filled
Kaleb Cooper didn't have the warmest reaction to finding out that he had been replaced on Clarkson's Farm, after Jeremy Clarkson hired new farmhand Harriet Cowan while the Prime Video star went off on a nationwide tour. The Prime Video show, which released its fourth series today, aired the moment that Jeremy told Kaleb that he had brought in a new farmhand in his absence.
Kaleb shot to fame on Clarkson's Farm when it first aired in 2021, but does not appear much in the first few episodes of the new series as he was performing in his theatre tour, The World According to Kaleb - Kaleb Goes On Tour, at the time of filming. As a result, Jeremy hired 24-year-old farmer and nurse Harriet to help him out on Diddly Squat.
In the series' third episode, Kaleb returns to the farm - and is told by Jeremy that he was temporarily replaced by Harriet. "We've had to get help. I've had to get someone to help me," Jeremy told him, to which a baffled Kaleb replied: "What do you mean? I'm confused."
Despite reassuring Kaleb that he would like Harriet, a quiet Kaleb responded awkwardly with just one word: "Ok."
In a voiceover, Jeremy then told the viewers: "Sensing that Kaleb wasn't entirely happy about me hiring someone else, I decided that he should meet her as quickly as possible."
We then watched as Jeremy and Kaleb drove over to meet Harriet and inspect a field that she had drilled with barley. "Right - that's Harriet. Be nice," Jeremy warned Kaleb in the car. "Behave. I'm not having any of your Andy Cato nonsense." Jeremy was referring to a moment in a previous series when Kaleb raged over the input of Groove Armada DJ-turned-farmer Andy.
Speaking to the camera, Jeremy laughed: "This is going to be interesting because he wants to encourage young people to start farming, but I don't think he wants them to farm on this farm."
Thankfully for Jeremy, Kaleb was friendly when meeting Harriet - although he soon started criticising what Jeremy has done while he was away.
"It looks s****er here. What a waste of a f**king field planting GS4 in it. I've got three fields that had GS4. It doesn't feed any f**king cows," he said. GS4 in farming refers to a mixture of seeds that grow grass, legumes and herbs which will form a grazing pasture for animals.
"I'll rip it up and put some spring wheat in it, if you want," he said, to which Jeremy said: "No - we need cows. For the pub, I've got to have cow food."
Kaleb then hit back: "But have you ever tried grazing GS4? No you haven't. Right, we done?"

Jeremy Kyle guest who killed girlfriend's hamster has lifetime animal ban axed
ITV's Jeremy Kyle Show has been hit with controversy over the years, including one guest who killed his girlfriend's hamster after finding out he was not the father of her baby A former star of The Jeremy Kyle Show has had his lifetime ban on owning animals lifted. Controversial host Jeremy, 59, confessed that he still feels "immensely proud" of the ITV show, despite it being a factor in the death in one of its guests. The programme showcased a diverse range of individuals to the public, including an elderly escort who happily had sex with over 1,000 men. However, one previous guest has since appeared in court to have his lifetime ban on keeping animals lifted. Ryan O'Brien, from Stevenage, was granted this right by a judge who agreed that he had succeeded in "turning his life around" and proving he can care for a pet. In 2012, O'Brien pleaded guilty to causing unnecessary suffering to an animal after he hurled a hamster against a wall and stamped on it to kill it. At the time of the animal's death, O'Brien was in a tumultuous relationship with his girlfriend that had just ended shortly before the incident, as reported by The Comet. His relationship abruptly ended after appearing on the controversial ITV programme to determine whether he was the father of a 13-month-old girl he had been co-parenting with his partner. It was during his stint on the show that a DNA test revealed he was not the father of the toddler, reports the Daily Star. After admitting to the offence, O'Brien was initially slapped with a suspended jail term and an indefinite ban on keeping or owning animals. But in a dramatic turnaround, he's managed to get the ban overturned after convincing the court of his reformation. When he stood before Stevenage Magistrates' Court on May 22, no fewer than four witnesses vouched for his transformation, convincing the magistrates that he was now fit to care for a pet. His solicitor highlighted to the press that the magistrates had witnessed a profound shift in O'Brien's demeanour. Now 35, O'Brien has welcomed a new addition to his life, a miniature British bulldog pup named Dotty. Chatting with The Comet, he shared his journey of turning over a new leaf, leaving behind substance abuse to concentrate on bettering himself. "I have now completed a three-year apprenticeship with the construction company Wates and am a qualified tiler, decorator and electrician," he proudly told the paper. He's also giving back to the community, lending a hand at food banks and warm spaces. "A lot has changed; I've changed," O'Brien reflected. "I haven't got a bad bone in my body now." He expressed deep remorse over his past actions, saying: "Killing the hamster is the biggest regret of my life. I just wasn't thinking at the time." Despite his efforts to move forward, O'Brien acknowledged that he still faces the consequences of his past, with public shaming being a constant reminder. However, he expressed gratitude towards The Jeremy Kyle Show for shedding light on truths about his former partner. He shared that he's been clean since Christmas, steering clear of drugs for the past two years. He admitted reaching a juncture where he was "sick" of his previous lifestyle. Now, with "a good support network of friends", he's turned a new page: "I have stopped hanging out with people who were bad for me."

Amazon Prime fans ‘livid' as show with ‘so much potential' cancelled
The new dramedy has been axed by Amazon Prime Video after just one season, despite the fact the series was initially commissioned for two Prime Video subscribers are livid as a gripping new drama series has been axed after just one season. The dance dramedy Étoile, crafted by Gilmore Girls and The Marvelous Mrs Maisel writers Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino, sadly won't be making a comeback for a second series. This is despite the fact that the streamer originally commissioned the series for two seasons, leaving fans of the show particularly miffed. Set in both New York and Paris, the series features Luke Kirby as Jack McMillan and Charlotte Gainsbourg as Geneviève Lavigne, two artistic directors of prestigious ballet schools who decide to exchange their most gifted stars to rescue their companies. French principal ballerina Cheyenne Toussaint (portrayed by Lou de Laâge) heads to New York to be trained by Jack, while American choreographer Tobias Bell (Gideon Glick) joins Geneviève in Paris, reports the Mirror US. All eight episodes were launched in late April and were eagerly awaited by fans following the success of the Palladinos' previous hit comedy-dramas. Despite not being quite the runaway success Prime Video was evidently hoping for, Étoile garnered a passionate cult following who have taken to social media to lament the disappointing decision. Outrage erupted on X (formerly Twitter), as one fan vented: "you have to allow audience word of mouth to spread give it another chance Etoile is amazing and so is Amy Sherman Palladino you have to give shows time like we did in the 2000s cause people keep going back to them cause there timeless and well spaced." Another viewer expressed their dismay: "what's the point of creating art to cancel it for some reasons? I mean, etoile was good as hell, it was brilliant I don't understand what happened." An additional fan expressed their anger: "the way étoile was gaining more and more traction EVERY DAY (mostly through word of mouth) and amazon decided to cancel it less than two months after it premiered. i'm livid." Frustrated demands were aimed at @PrimeVideo: "@PrimeVideo how dare you cancel étoile after it ALREADY HAVING A SEASON TWO???? what is wrong with you," voiced a fourth supporter. The dismay over the scrapping of potential extended onto Reddit forums, where numerous individuals aired their grievances. One said with regret: "Gosh the show really found its groove in the later half of the season, I think season 2 had a lot of potential. Sad that we'll never see it." A disappointed viewer added: "I took a chance because this was a ASP show but this is the last time I'm watching a show that hasn't already released several seasons. "The way they're just canceling shows now is some bulls***. The cast should be very proud of themselves." Speculation remains whether a platform such as Netflix might swoop in to rescue Étoile, leaving many loyal viewers holding out hope for an unexpected revival.

Jeremy Clarkson's Farm pub plagued by walkouts as staff quit in 'disaster'
Jeremy Clarkson's pub The Farmer's Dog was hit with a mass walkout with staff storming out the bar and demanding to quit. Jeremy Clarkson's pub launch was overshadowed by staff walkouts, details of which have only now come to light. The ex-Top Gear host faced intense challenges during the inaugural weekend of The Farmer's Dog in August last year. The Farmer's Dog is located in Burford, Oxfordshire, in the heart of the Cotswolds. But in the season four finale of Clarkson's Farm, released on Prime Video last week, the 65-year-old is forced to acknowledge a string of mishaps. In a candid conversation with Charlie Ireland after a tumultuous opening day at his licensed establishment, Clarkson admits: "We've lost two waitresses. We lost a pot washer. After one day." His troubles are compounded when he engages in urgent discussions with Sue and Rachel, his front of house team, in the pub's upstairs bar. The duo convey their concerns, indicating that the situation is dire with "too many problems" to operate a "successful business," reports the Express. They reveal the staff's fatigue, saying: "Everyone is exhausted, even when we say go for a break, there is no staff room," and highlight the less-than-ideal working conditions: "They're weeing in a port aloo. It's not lovely conditions." Offering some reassurance to Clarkson, they add: "They love you. They're excited about the British food," to which Clarkson insists: "I have no problem with the staff. Not one single problem with the staff. They're all brilliant. They are smiling. They are nice." However, Sue and Rachel warn him about the impending crisis in the kitchen as they explain: "The kitchen is about to go pop, those chefs have had it.... It might be worth popping into the kitchen," they suggest. "I just popped in," Clarkson retorts, to which Sue and Rachel reply: "go back." Jeremy, worn out from juggling farm duties and preparing the pub for its opening, hits back: "Do you want me to go and find a manager? Or go back into the kitchen?" His sarcastic tirade about his workload continues: "Or do you want me to mend the leak? Or do you want me to deal with the car parking issues? Or do you want me to deal with the neighbours? "Do you want me to deal with the council? I've got plenty to be doing and I'll get on with it. Thank you." This outburst was the last straw for the pair who subsequently resigned. However, an undeterred Jeremy insists he has a solution. "We've worked out if we shut the lavatories and use plastic glasses instead of glass ones, we'll have enough water to serve food until six," he concedes. "The next problem is Sue and Rachel, who brilliantly set up the pub, have now left. So it's a Sunday morning, I've managed to secure a new front of house person who is the head of sixth form at the local village school. That's good." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
