Clarkson's Farm's Kaleb Cooper handles becoming dad again in hilariously 'farmer
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?!?!'

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.

One Direction star returns to stage 10 months after bandmate Liam Payne's death
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Niall Horan made a triumphant return to the stage this weekend, much to the surprise of fans—especially since it wasn't even his gig. The Irish pop star and boyband heartthrob hasn't performed live in 10 months, having wrapped up his The Show world tour in Bogota, Colombia, last autumn before embarking on a hiatus. That same month, Niall and his One Direction bandmates – Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and Zayn Malik – were left heartbroken when Liam Payne died at the tender age of 31. Niall had spent time with Payne just weeks earlier when the Strip That Down hitmaker attended his concert in Argentina, not long before his fatal fall from a hotel balcony on October 16. Having taken some time away from the music scene following his late friend's funeral, Niall, 31, came back with a bang last night, stepping out onto a stage he's performed countless times: London's O2 Arena. He was a special guest for long-time friend and fellow music superstar Shawn Mendes, 27, who brought his On The Road Again tour to the capital. Celebrating hits from his decade in the industry, the Grammy-nominated Canadian songwriter was met with deafening screams upon introducing Niall to the crowd. Teasing Niall's arrival, Shawn began on the mic: 'I met this fella years and years ago; I was probably 16 or 17. 'I came into this industry, and I was terrified of everything and everyone. We talk a lot of s**t, but this man has been an older brother to me.' He declared sweetly: 'I love him with all my heart. Please welcome Niall Horan.' Naturally, the packed venue went wild, as footage later shared to Shawn's Instagram captured. Fans immediately burst into tears, jumped up and down, and shook their heads in disbelief as the Slow Hands vocalist made his way out, guitar in hand, of course. 'I'll remember this for a long time ❤️ Thank you so much London x', Shawn's caption read, with Niall commenting a red heart also. Together, they performed Niall's debut solo single, This Town, which was released after 1D's sabbatical began in 2016. Thanking the crowd before leaving the stage, Niall professed his love for Shawn and said: 'Take care, everyone.' As the video of the wholesome moment began doing the rounds online, fans were quick to express their excitement and plead with the celebrity pals for a proper collaboration. 'Best duo ever 🤍. We need a collab please? ❤️🙏', @niallxupdates_ commented on Instagram. 'OMG! Niall and Shawn together 😍🔥 So beautiful!', wrote @rashelhemmings. 'I didn't even realize how much I missed his voice. 💖', added Niall fan @_fatbirdsinging. @xoanyushka joked: 'i had the most normal reaction to this (i screamed)'. This is not the first time Niall and Shawn have duetted as, during Niall's lat tour, Shawn made a surprise appearance for a joint rendition of his hit Treat You Better. Meanwhile, today, Niall supporters further shared their pride at seeing him back where he belongs following his loss. Following Payne's shocking death, his bandmates all released devastating statements in tribute, with Niall taking to social media to say what had happened didn't 'feel real'. 'Liam had an energy for life and a passion for work that was infectious,' he wrote. 'He was the brightest in every room and always made everyone feel happy and secure. 'All the laughs we had over the years, sometimes about the simplest of things, keep coming to mind through the sadness. We got to live out our wildest dreams together and I will cherish every moment we had forever. 'The bond and friendship we had doesn't happen often in a lifetime.' Niall went on to send his condolences to Payne's young son, Bear, whom he shared with pop star Cheryl, and the star's family. 'I feel so fortunate that I got to see him recently,' he concluded. 'I sadly didn't know that after saying goodbye and hugging him that evening, I would be saying goodbye forever. It's heartbreaking.' More Trending Niall sweetly signed off: 'Thank you for everything, Payno.' As well as his parents and two sisters, Payne is survived by his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy. The circumstances surrounding his death have been investigated intently by police in recent months, resulting in five individuals being arrested in connection, among whom were a friend of Payne, the hotel manager, two employees, and a waiter. After months of proceedings, the latest is that three have been acquitted and two remain under suspicion. Got a story?

JoJo Siwa reveals she and Chris Hughes want to start family very soon
Big Brother star JoJo Siwa says 'I absolutely would love to have babies' as she discusses her future plans with boyfriend Chris Hughes after shutting down pregnancy rumours Dance Mom's star JoJo Siwa has hinted at her plans to start a family, which 'aren't that far away', with her boyfriend Chris Hughes as their whirlwind romance grows stronger. The couple met in the iconic Celebrity Big Brother house in April, and viewers watched their bond begin a loving friendship that eventually grew into something more. Not long after the show ended, the two revealed they started dating and have been sharing intimate details about their romance with fans online ever since. After travelling to the UK to promote her new song Raspy, JoJo opened up about her future and revealed she 'craves' motherhood in the future. It comes after David Beckham speaks 'as a father' in 'family' announcement after latest Brooklyn snub. When asked about whether she wants children, JoJo, 22, told The Sun: 'I crave them, I absolutely would love to have babies, it's absolutely in my future and I don't think it's that far away.' The dancer added: 'I'm at a place in my life where my career by no means is slowing down, but my career is at a point where it works and it runs and I know how to do everything that I'm doing and I'm not learning anything new, so I'm at a great place with that. 'Obviously I have a great boy in my life, there are a lot of things to happen before then, but definitely want kids.' JoJo's family admission follows after Chris, 32, opened up on their close relationship last month in a chat with US Weekly where he discussed the pair getting married. Chris said: "When you're besotted with each other and in love with someone, I think it's fun to look forward to those things." He added: "Of course, I want to get married to her, I would never shy away from that. And one day I want to have children. We both come from extremely loving families and very wholesome families who care for you so it would be nice to reciprocate that going forward. One day I'd love to have children, it would be an absolute dream for sure." Last month, JoJo hit out at the claims that she was pregnant to her 46 million followers on TikTok as she shared a video of herself plugging her cover of Bette Davis Eyes. The rumours began on TikTok after a video of Chris appearing to affectionately stroke JoJo's stomach sent fans down a rabbit hole and videos of fans discussing the rumours are being posted in their tens. JoJo decided to shut down the rumours by playing a game of Two Truths and A Lie, and asked fans which statement is a lie: '1) I've never smoked a [cigarette] 2) I'm pregnant 3) This song comes out on Spotify Friday.'

Christine McGuinness was 'so nervous' on Celebs Go Dating as she speaks out
Celebs Go Dating star Christine McGuinness has opened up on her Celebs Go Dating experience for the first time since it aired as she confessed to being 'so nervous' Christine McGuinness has broken her silence since Celebs Go Dating aired. She admitted to being "really overwhelmed." The Real Housewives of Cheshire star signed up to the E4 dating show following her split from husband Paddy McGuinness. She thought she was ready to get back on the dating scene, with the help of the show's experts, as she tried to build a connection with a woman. However, before the series had even hit screens, it was revealed that Christine had quit. The mum-of-three said it was "too soon" following her divorce from Top Gear host Paddy. It comes after one TV star admitted she sleeps in separate bed to partner as she fumes over pregnancy. The TV series kicked off earlier this week, with Christine tasked with finding a match to take to Ibiza with her for the group trip. In the very first episode, she appeared visibly uncomfortable at times, and the experts even took note. Now, Christine has addressed her time on the show for the first time since it aired. She took to her Instagram following her summer getaway with ex Paddy and their children. "Where do I even start, thank you so much for all the love on Celebs Go Dating," Christine said. "It is mad watching it back. We filmed it in April, so it is a couple months ago and I'm watching it back seeing how everyone else got on. "You are with the other celebs but you are not on the dates with them. They tell you about it, but actually seeing it, I have loved. I have loved that bit." Speaking of watching herself on the show, Christine confessed: "God, I was so nervous. I was so nervous, I can't believe it. It is mad. I was so in it at the time and in my head. "It was just really overwhelming. But, the response from the four episodes I have been on has been really, really positive and gorgeous so thank you so much. I appreciate all the love and all the support." On the very first episode, viewers noticed how nervous Christine was as they picked up on clues she wouldn't last the whole series. While at a mixer with the other celebs and a group of singletons, the show's experts revealed they needed to find someone to take with them to Ibiza. However, it all seemed too much for Christine as she had reservations straight away. She was seen grabbing onto fellow star Kerry Katona as she admitted: "I need a minute, I need a minute." Christine was filmed walking away from the group as she took a moment to herself. She told Kerry: "I just don't want to take someone away." Speaking directly to the camera, Christine shared: "How can I take someone I've just met away? This is just not normal." Expert Anna Williamson admitted: "She is the most nervous out of all the celebrities." In another episode in the week, Christine admitted: "In all honesty, I'm finding being away from the kids and being here with everyone a little bit too intense. I'm just craving a bit of peace and quiet."
