Clarkson's Farm star Kaleb Cooper shares health update from A&E after suffering 'painful' injury
Clarkson's Farm star Kaleb Cooper has revealed he suffered a painful foot injury following a game of football earlier this week.
The 26-year-old shared an update from A&E on Wednesday, confirming he had fractured his foot after taking a tumble on Tuesday evening.
Posting to Instagram, Cooper showed followers a video of his visibly swollen ankle as he hobbled around the farm, grimacing in pain.
He said: 'I just got back from football and I'm trying to shut the chickens up and look at that ankle, ahh pain, the pain, the pain!'
The following morning, the 26-year-old posted an update from hospital as he prepared for an x-ray.
Hours later, he confirmed the ankle was fractured and showed off a medical boot fitted to stabilise the injury.
'Not good,' he wrote, before adding in a separate video that he was now 'hobbling around'.
Despite the break, Cooper insisted he will still attend this weekend's Three Counties Show, where he's due to appear on Sunday.
He said: 'I may be hobbling around as I have fractured my ankle but I will still be at the Three Counties Show on Sunday.
'I've got my Kaleb Cooper contracting stand there, Hawkstone cider, as well as I'll be doing talks through out the day on the Sunday, so do pop along to say hello.
'I am looking forward to this one even though I maybe hobbling around I will be there.'
The news comes after viewers criticised Cooper for being frosty towards with temporary farmhand Harriet Cowan on the latest series of Clarkson's Farm.
Cowan was brought in to cover Cooper's absence while he embarked on a live stage tour.
But when he returned, viewers were quick to pick up on his standoffish behaviour — with one tense scene showing Cooper silently inspecting Cowan's work before making a pointed remark about fertiliser.
The interaction sparked backlash, with some fans labelling Cooper 'rude' and 'childish', and even suggesting he should be dropped from the show. Others criticised him for being unwelcoming to a newcomer doing her job.
Jeremy Clarkson himself appeared to call out the behaviour during filming, joking that Cooper had contracted 'c*** flu' after spending too long being pampered on tour and needed to re-acclimate to farm life.
However, Cooper and Cowan have since found friendlier footing, with later episodes showing them getting on.

‘Snow White' becomes Disney's worst-performing live-action remake in nearly 10 years
Disney's 'Snow White' reboot is leaving a legacy it certainly doesn't want, becoming the company's worst-performing wide-release live-action remake in almost 10 years. The 2025 remake of the original 1937 movie opened March 21 in the US and Canada, and has struggled, earning barely $200 million worldwide. The film's page on calls the movie 'officially a flop,' and says its $205.5 million earnings are 'miles behind its massive $410 million total cost,' including marketing, production, and other items. The site calls the film's disappointing performance 'a financial blow which few expected to be this severe, especially with the losses already estimated at over $115 million, per Collider.' 'Pete's Dragon,' a 2016 Disney remake of the 1977 film, came away with $143.7 million, $61.8 million less than 'Snow White.' The 'Snow White' remake was not without its controversies, which perhaps contributed to the film's poor reception. Over three years before the film's release, one A-list actor with dwarfism had Walt Disney Studios reframe how it portrayed the classic seven dwarfs characters. 'Game of Thrones' star Peter Dinklage called out the studio for even considering taking a stab at portraying magical dwarfs in the modern era. 5 Rachel Zegler reads a book on the set of 'Snow White,' from an Instagram post on March 20, 2025. Instagram/@rachelzelger Speaking on comedian Marc Maron's podcast in 2022, Dinklage stated, 'You're progressive in one way, but then you're still making that f—–g backwards story about seven dwarfs living in a cave together. What the f— are you doing, man?' Disney then addressed the complaint and said the company would take a 'different approach' to the seven dwarfs. Rachel Zegler, the film's lead actress, faced backlash on social media for comments she made that were critical of the 1937 version of 'Snow White.' 'I mean, you know, the original cartoon came out in 1937 and very evidently so,' Zegler said during Disney's D23 Expo in 2022. 'There's a big focus on her love story with a guy who literally stalks her. Weird! Weird. So we didn't do that this time.' 5 Gal Gadot and Rachel Zegler in a scene from the movie. ©Walt Disney Co./Courtesy Everett Collection 5 The seven dwarves from the 2025 movie. ©Walt Disney Co./Courtesy Everett Collection Due to the controversy over the dwarfs and Zegler's comments on the original movie, Disney announced in late 2023 it would delay the release for 'Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs' by a full year. It was originally slated to be released in March 2024. Zegler was also vocal about her anti-Israel views. In an August 2024 X post talking about the official trailer for 'Snow White,' the actress wrote, 'And always remember, free Palestine.' She also lashed out at people who voted for President Donald Trump, saying in an Instagram post, 'May Trump supporters and Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace,' adding, 'F— Donald Trump.' 5 Rachel Zegler, the film's lead actress, faced backlash on social media for comments she made that were critical of the 1937 version of 'Snow White.' ©Walt Disney Co./Courtesy Everett Collection She later apologized, saying in part that 'Hatred and anger have caused us to move further and further away from peace and understanding.' Disney also scaled back the Hollywood premiere event for 'Snow White.' Variety reported 'the studio won't be rolling out a robust red carpet like it usually does,' and that the dozens of media outlets customarily present wouldn't be. Instead, coverage consisted of house crew members and photographers. 5 Zegler was also vocal about her anti-Israel views. ©Walt Disney Co./Courtesy Everett Collection Fox News Digital reached out to Disney for comment on 'Snow White's' box office numbers, but did not immediately receive a response. Fox News' Gabriel Hays contributed to this report.

Princess Märtha Louise's Daughter Is Joining a Popular Reality TV Series, Despite Being 6th in Line to the Norwegian Throne
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Princess Märtha Louise of Norway's daughter is branching out into reality TV. Leah Isadora Behn, who is currently 6th in line to the Norwegian throne, has announced her participation in a reality TV series called Forræder, which is Norway's version of The Traitors. Announcing the news on Instagram, Behn wrote, "Traitors Season 5 with @ gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss." She continued, "See you in the fall, this is going to be sick." Clearly, Behn is ready to be a conniving and memorable reality TV contestant. The 20-year-old royal has two sisters—22-year-old Maud Angelica and 16-year-old Emma Tallulah. The trio's father, Ari Behn, passed away in December 2019 at the age of 47. Leah isn't the first member of her family to embark upon a career in reality TV, either. Her older sister Maud appeared on the Norwegian version of The Masked Singer, Maskorama, in 2022. It's also worth noting that Princess Märtha Louise's three daughters don't have royal titles, despite being in line for the Norwegian throne. Aside from a possible future as a reality television star, Leah is a social media influencer with almost 150,000 Instagram followers, as of June 2025. Leah's mother, Princess Märtha Louise, married American Shaman Durek Verrett on August 31, 2024. The couple tied the knot at Hotel Union in Geiranger, Norway, which offers incredible views of a World Heritage Site-designated Norwegian Fjord. In April, Princess Märtha Louise and her new husband shared their top relationship tips on social media. "Always telling the truth and always being transparent with each other builds a beautiful and successful relationship because you can trust each other and know that, no matter what is said, love will always be there," Verrett shared in the video. Märtha Louise emphasized the importance of taking "responsibility for your triggers." She further explained, "It's mostly you who has the triggers inside of you from something in the past, it's not actually the person in front of you."

Give a listen — the protest songs are out there
The group sings some of the tried and true songs, such as 'We Shall Not Be Moved,' sometimes with the adaptation 'We Shall Not Be Ruled.'

Many local songwriters have taken up the task of expressing their outrage, including To quote the chorus of Steve Robb Wayland A song from 60 years ago, when I was 7 years old, played on my Spotify a few weeks ago. I was driving with my 30-year-old daughter, and we both agreed it could also be a protest song for 2025. It was the 1965 Barry McGuire hit 'Eve of Destruction,' written by P. F. Sloan. Paul Ellis Medford An edited sampling of online responses to the op-ed: Great points. I have thought about this a lot lately. We need to create new songs and new institutions to resist the horrific fascism we are enduring. So far there has not been much of an actual movement. But a movement needs its music. And its stars.

Tight and right on. However, like modern TV, thousands of offerings from thousands of sources dims one's focus. Perhaps engaging in live communities, on a wider basis, may stem the tide of things like Trump's isolationism, which bleeds through all his layers.
