Jeremy Clarkson has shared the hilarious moment Kaleb Cooper told him he was leaving the fields to head to the maternity ward after his partner went into labour
Clarkson's Farm star Kaleb Cooper has celebrated the arrival of his third child, but true to form, he stayed put in the fields when the life-changing news broke. The farming expert, 26, has won over audiences with his no-nonsense attitude on the hit Amazon show.
‌
Kaleb was busy with the harvest when he learned that his fiancée Taya had gone into labour. According to his boss Jeremy Clarkson, the 26-year-old showed no panic at all, and didn't rush off to the hospital.
‌
Instead he calmly stated he would head there once he had finished working the graft in the field. Clarkson later joked that his young employee displayed the ultimate professionalism by putting farming first, even ahead of a dash to the hospital for his newborn's arrival.
‌
The former Top Gear presenter revealed this exchange in his newspaper column as reported by Gloucestershire Live, praising Kaleb's commitment while also poking fun at the unusual timing.
He even suggested in jest that the baby should be named after the field where Kaleb was toiling at the time, which was called "Deadman". Of course, this cheeky proposal was swiftly rejected.
This marks the third addition to the family for Kaleb and his long-term partner Taya, who are childhood sweethearts. The couple are already parents to two youngsters, Oscar, who arrived in 2021, and Willa, who was born in 2023.
Kaleb, hailing from Chipping Norton and who began his agricultural journey during his teen years, has become one of the most beloved figures on Clarkson's Farm since the programme first launched back in 2021.
His straightforward guidance, humour and unwavering commitment to conventional farming methods have won over audiences. Yet, whilst Kaleb had cause for celebration in his personal life, the atmosphere at Diddly Squat Farm has been far from cheerful.
‌
Clarkson admitted that the summer's dry spell had devastated their harvests, with the produce so pitiful it could "fit inside a vacuum bag".
This disappointing crop represents another obstacle in the already volatile realm of agriculture, a truth the programme has highlighted through its intimate look at countryside life.
‌
Despite the difficult conditions, Kaleb has continued his dedication to the work, even as his brood grows. His story stands as further proof of the particular pressures encountered by farmers balancing labour, climate and family life.
For followers of Clarkson's Farm, it provides yet another insight into the existence of the down-to-earth young agriculturalist who has succeeded in turning graft, quick wit and a love of machinery into an unlikely television success.
Meanwhile, Jeremy revealed last month that his Cotswolds venture had been hit by a tuberculosis (TB) outbreak. The former Top Gear host posted on Twitter: "Bad news from Diddly Squat. We've gone down with TB. Everyone here is absolutely devastated."
‌
He revealed that one of the animals had contracted the potentially fatal bacterial infection and was expecting twins. Days afterwards, Jeremy explained how dealing with the outbreak had been "bloody awful".
He explained: "The disruption's enormous, because you aren't allowed to operate as a business. You have to isolate them for two months.
"So all the barns we needed to store the grain in, we now have to convert into a cow hospital. We've got another calf with pneumonia, so that needs to be housed. And we can't buy or sell a cow now because the farm officially, you know, has TB."
