Kaleb Cooper "immediately" left Diddly Squat Farm following a request from Jeremy Clarkson. The 26-year-old farm worker shot to fame on Clarkson's Farm, which follows the former Top Gear host as he navigates farming life in the Cotswolds.

Recently, Clarkson revealed his plans for a spring clean at the farm, a task he described in the Sunday Times as one "task Hercules himself would describe as ambitious". According to Clarkson, farmers have a tendency to hoard, believing that "every single thing ever made" could prove useful someday. He says this is something Kaleb has particularly bought into.

Jeremy wrote: "Ask him to put something away and he acts like a seven-year-old who's been told to tidy his room.

"He's not interested in tidiness because it takes time and time is money. What does it matter if he's left a 60-year-old chain harrow in the field? 'Er, because it's ugly, Kaleb.' He can't get that at all. In his world, ugly doesn't matter."

Jeremy says the issue of Kaleb leaving equipment out came to a head when he asked to help with the spring cleans, reports Gloucestershire Live. Jeremy added: "When I asked him to help me tidy the farmyard, he immediately got into his ugly pick-up truck and went for a weekend mini break with his family in the Yorkshire Dales."

In 2008, Jeremy Clarkson made a grand entrance into agriculture by purchasing 1,000 acres of the Sarsden estate in Chipping Norton, which included Curdle Hill Farm—known for alternating between barley, rapeseed and wheat.

Fast forward to 2019, with the farm's tenant retiring, Clarkson took a swing at farming life, rebranding to Diddly Squat Farm and capturing his escapades on Prime Video.

The show has since harvested praise, particularly among the farming folk, with James Rebanks telling The Telegraph: "I can report back from within the farming community: they all loved that programme.

"They loved it. Ok, he's clowning around and he plays to that audience, and a lot of farmers are lads that like machines and they would have watched Top Gear and all the rest of it."

Kaleb meanwhile first ventured into the farming industry aged 13, when he started helping out at a dairy farm. He worked at the farm when it was managed by Howard Pauling before continuing as a farm hand under Jeremy.
