Clarkson’s Farm season 5 recently concluded on Prime Video, but that isn’t the only project Jeremy Clarkson has been busy with.
Clarkson’s Farm recently returned to Prime Video, with an emotional fifth season that saw Jeremy Clarkson reveal to his co-stars that he has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Jeremy, 66, broke the sad news to series regulars Kaleb Cooper and Charlie Ireland of his diagnosis, both of whom were shocked by the sad news. Yesterday, Kaleb paid tribute to his “best mate” as they celebrated a major milestone for Jeremy’s career away from the farm.
He appeared in London last night for the launch of Hawkstone’s much-anticipated television debut, after famously having its first advert banned. Hawkstone is a beer and cider brand that was launched by Jeremy back in 2021, with the presenter using the barley grown on his farm to make a lager. The brand aired a 40-second ad in the final break before England’s FIFA World Cup match against Croatia, with farmhand Kaleb taking centre stage as the unlikely stuntman.
The tongue-in-cheek ad titled Kaleb’s Leap showed the moment where a freshly poured pint is knocked, and Kaleb must embark on a heroic, slow-motion dive to save it.
Kaleb, who is a cider ambassador for the brand, said: “It was a long day for 40 seconds on the telly. Could’ve harvested a whole field in that time.
“But, if it shows everyone the effort that goes into making a proper British beer, then it’s worth it. And I was pretty happy with my very first stunt too!”
Elsewhere, Kaleb shared an update on Jeremy’s health in an interview with MailOnline, saying: “He is good. The spirits are high, which is good. If anything like this happens to any of your friends and you just said to my best mate, you’ve gotta be supported through that whole journey.
“And that’s where I’ve been, I’ve been right by his side and his spirits are really good, so thank you.”
He added: “He’s strong-minded, he’s got a strong mind on him, which is good. And the message about catching anything early is quite important.
“That’s the main thing, but you’ve gotta keep checking, you know what I mean, it’s all these things, you know, people can sit there and say I’m busy, busy, busy. But actually sometimes you’ve gotta go I’m gonna just have to check and see if I’m OK.”
When the news of Jeremy’s cancer diagnosis broke on Wednesday, Prostate Cancer UK also thanked the presenter for raising “vital” awareness.
Chiara De Biase, Fundraising and Health Strategy Director for Prostate Cancer UK, told The Express: “We want to thank Jeremy for sharing his prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment in Clarkson’s Farm, raising vital awareness with the millions of men and families watching.
