Kaleb Cooper Lands New Role as Clarkson’s Farm Filming Pauses
While Clarkson’s Farm takes a short break from filming, its breakout star Kaleb Cooper isn’t slowing down. The young farmer has unveiled a brand-new project — and it’s bringing a touch of festive cheer to pubs across the UK.
A Fresh Gig Amid Filming Halt
The 27-year-old, best known as Jeremy Clarkson’s right-hand man on the hit Amazon Prime series, has launched a new initiative with Hawkstone Cider, the drinks brand born from Clarkson’s Diddly Squat Farm.
Hawkstone has announced a new Christmas promotion that gives pubs across Britain the chance to receive a free Christmas tree from Kaleb Cooper’s Jolly Pines.
The only catch? The pub must stock Hawkstone Cider on tap this festive season.
“Nothing says festive like a cracking cider and a fresh Christmas tree!” Kaleb said.
“Stock Hawkstone cider, and we’ll deliver a tree right to your pub — plus, you might even get a visit from me! Let’s make this Christmas one to remember!”
The partnership marks yet another business venture for Kaleb, whose entrepreneurial drive has been a defining feature of both his on-screen persona and his growing real-life farming empire.
Clarkson Confirms Filming Pause at Diddly Squat Farm
The announcement comes just days after Jeremy Clarkson revealed that filming for Clarkson’s Farm has temporarily paused.
The presenter shared the update on X (formerly Twitter), writing:
“Filming at Diddly Squat has stopped for a little while, but the farming goes on. Today, I have rented out a pig for sexual purposes.”
The tongue-in-cheek message quickly went viral, leaving fans puzzled and amused in equal measure.
According to reports, the break is part of a planned rest period following an intense seven-year filming schedule, during which Clarkson’s Farm became one of Amazon Prime’s most successful factual series.
Kaleb’s Solo Adventure: Down Under
Despite the pause at Diddly Squat, Kaleb is already preparing for his next big television challenge.
Earlier this year, Amazon Prime Video confirmed that he will front his own show, Kaleb: Down Under (working title) — a four-part documentary series filmed in Australia.
The new series will follow Kaleb as he leaves the Cotswolds for his first-ever trip abroad, exploring one of the world’s largest and most advanced farming industries.
“I spend most of my time with the most travelled man in the world,” Kaleb joked, referring to Clarkson.
“So I got brave and booked my first ever flight to see what all the fuss was about. Australia, here I come!”
He continued:
“And Australia — you’ll be gaining a new farmer for a couple of months as I discover if I can make my farming contracting business go international.”
The series will showcase Kaleb’s trademark humor and determination as he immerses himself in large-scale agricultural operations unlike anything he’s experienced in the UK.
From the Cotswolds to the World Stage
Since debuting alongside Jeremy Clarkson in 2021, Kaleb has gone from local contractor to household name.
His blunt honesty, quick wit, and no-nonsense approach to farming have made him a fan favorite — and earned him multiple side ventures, from book deals to live tours.
Asked recently whether he could see himself leading his own version of Clarkson’s Farm, Kaleb was modest but optimistic:
“Hopefully one day,” he told The Sun. “Who knows?”
For now, his attention is split between running his business, expanding his brand, and conquering Australia’s outback — all while waiting for the cameras to roll once again at Diddly Squat.
A Season of Growth
With Clarkson’s Farm on pause and Kaleb: Down Under on the horizon, the young farmer is proving that his rise is no fluke.
What started as a partnership in the Cotswolds has evolved into a global adventure — and for Kaleb Cooper, the next chapter looks brighter (and busier) than ever.
