Kaleb made the cheeky remark before a huge farming festival was held at Jeremy Clarkson’s Diddly Squat Farm
Kaleb Cooper has playfully ribbed his Amazon Prime co-star, Jeremy Clarkson, over his eating habits after the presenter’s weight loss. This month, popular farming festival Cereals 2026 took place at Clarkson’s Diddly Squat Farm in the Cotswolds, bringing together “industry knowledge, innovation and expertise” to “improve the future”.
Running from June 10-11, the gathering was held at the now-iconic Cotswolds farm made famous by Amazon Prime’s Clarkson’s Farm, featuring Jeremy Clarkson alongside Kaleb Cooper and agronomist Charlie Ireland.
Back in April, prominent UK agricultural publication Farmer’s Life shared video footage from a Cereals press conference on its YouTube channel, where the trio discussed their perspectives on the sector.
During one section, Kaleb offered his thoughts on farming’s “future”, commenting: “I mean, just going off the back of that really quickly as well, and that is, I get asked all the time why everyone like..”
He continued: “Every kid that’s going into farming, do you think there’s a future in farming? I don’t know the answer to that, but what I do know is this. We need a farmer three times a day: breakfast, lunch, and dinner.”
Turning towards Jeremy, he quipped: “Well, you don’t because you don’t hardly eat anymore”, drawing laughter from Clarkson, Charlie and audience members. Kaleb went on: “But, you know, do you know what I mean? Like, we need our farmer three times a day.”
His comments appeared to reference Clarkson’s recent efforts to shed pounds. Reports surfaced earlier this year suggesting the former Top Gear presenter had been using Mounjaro, a weight-loss injection.
Back in January, Clarkson disclosed he’d been on the medication for half a year, resulting in a remarkable three-stone reduction. Speaking to The Sun, he described Mounjaro as an “astonishing drug” that had successfully suppressed his appetite.
He explained: “I’ve had to have completely new outfits, because even my feet have shrunk. The shoes I was wearing last year are falling off me as I’m walking around.”
Adding further detail, he noted: “I think I might be the first person in the world to lose weight on my feet. I’ve plateaued now. I’m still on it, but not losing any more weight – but nor am I putting any on, because it keeps my appetite level down.”
It comes after the Grand Tour favourite suffered a major health scare in 2024. He underwent heart surgery and had two stents fitted after doctors discovered blocked arteries.
In other news, Clarkson recently threatened to quit farming after getting cow poo in his mouth. In scenes that emerged in the fifth season of Clarkson’s Farm, Clarkson helps Kaleb complete a castration procedure on a calf.
As Clarkson tried to reach behind the calf, it released diarrhoea. He said: “It’s s**t all over me.” In response, Kaleb says: “You’ve got it on your nose and everything.” Clarkson continued: “I’m covered in diarrhoea! A cow’s s**t in my mouth!”
Clarkson protested: “I’m covered in diarrhoea! A cow’s s**t in my mouth!” He quipped: “That’s it, f**k it, I’m going to London. I’m done; I’m going to London in a Bentley. I’m going to see my friend who worked in advertising, law and the theatre.”
