Clarkson's Farm star 'hobbling around' after being spotted on mobility scooter
A Clarkson's Farm star is in some pain after suffering a 'busted ankle'.
Kaleb Cooper, 26, has become a household name since rising to fame with Jeremy Clarkson on the Amazon Prime Video series, which is set on the former Top Gear star's Diddly Squat farm.
The farmer has become a star in his own right, and he was kept busy at this year's Royal Three Counties show in Worcestershire despite his recent injury.
'I may be hobbling around because I've got a bit of a busted ankle, but it'll be fine,' he said in a video shared to the event's official Instagram account before a packed schedule on Sunday.
He kicked off his day at a Future of Farming talk at 11am, followed by a Machinery Demo in the Main Arena at 12:45pm, and an appearance at the Food & Drink Theatre 45 minutes later.
Earlier in the week, he'd been spotted at Cereals 2025 – another farming festival – moving around on a mobility scooter in photos published by the Oxford Mail.

Kaleb seemed to be in good spirits as he chatted to locals, although his foot was still in a protective boot at the time.
He had vowed to still be at the Three Counties event too, despite revealing days earlier that he had 'fractured' his ankle.
In another Instagram Story, he said: 'Just got back from football and trying to haul my a** to shut the chickens up… look at that ankle.'
Thankfully for Kaleb, his schedule will start to get a bit easier after Jeremy confirmed Clarkson's Farm is taking a 'short break' after its upcoming fifth series.
The programme recently returned for a fourth season, and while another series is already in the works, there'll be a chance for everyone to down tools in the near future.
Jeremy has had some health setbacks, with a heart operation in 2024, and he recently put his back out with no clue how he managed it.
'I'd do a sixth if there was a reason for doing it, like a bloody good story. But if, say, my back turns out to be cancerous then I wouldn't,' he quipped in an interview with The Times.
The former Grand Tour presenter confirmed that either way, there'll be a 'short break' after the fifth series.
He added: 'Whatever happens we'll definitely take a short break as the crews are all worn out. We've been filming here two or three days a week, every week, for five years. Everybody could do with a rest.'
There had been some concern from fans that Kaleb's role was being scaled back for the fourth series as farmhand Harriet Cowan appeared to be replacing him.
However, Jeremy soon explained that Kaleb's other commitments meant he needed someone else to help out. More Trending
'What happened is this, he went away on his speaking tour, for a couple of months because he imagined that after four years, I'd be able to manage on my own,' Jeremy explained.
'I didn't – I made a complete mess of everything and had to bring in a young girl called Harriet. Harriet is brilliant and looked after the fort until he got back.'

I visited Jeremy Clarkson's farm shop and made instant call after just one look
Clarkson's Farm is smashing Amazon Prime Video's ratings records with each new release. The current series, the fourth, has proven to be its most popular yet, pulling in an impressive average of 4.4 million viewers per episode. This makes it Amazon Prime Video's top show, with viewer numbers on the rise since the third series. A fifth series is already in the pipeline, set to premiere in 2026. In terms of ratings, the show is essentially competing with itself — no other Amazon Prime Video programme has come close in the past couple of years, reports Wales Online. The show's popularity isn't surprising. It's a delightful mix of humour, emotion, charm and, of course, it's led by the man who made Top Gear and The Grand Tour such massive hits for decades. But beyond his knack for creating compelling telly (which must be easier with one of the world's wealthiest companies backing you), it's Jeremy Clarkson's warmth, passion, and willingness to learn and admit mistakes that truly sets the show apart (not to mention all the ribbing he gets from his sidekick and rising star Kaleb Cooper) He's dramatically boosted the visibility of British farming, along with its relentless hurdles – from extreme weather conditions to the staggering costs of tractors and the way the price of fertiliser can skyrocket by thousands in the blink of an eye, but it's not like you can hike up your potato prices overnight to compensate. Farmers seem to be thanking him for bringing their struggles to light, with one purportedly stating that Clarkson "done more for farmers in one series of Clarkson's Farm than Countryfile achieved in 30 years". I might have been late jumping on the Clarkson's Farm bandwagon, but now I'm devouring the four series with a voracity of about one per day. It's become the best bit of my day – absolutely brilliant. I popped into Clarkson's boozer, The Farmer's Dog, and two words summed up that experience for me. I loved every second, from the sprawling, heaving beer garden offering views of the Oxfordshire landscape to the cracking Sunday roast topped off with impeccable service. The lure of Jeremy Clarkson's Diddly Squat farm shop, famed for its appearances in the hit series, was too tempting. It's been the subject of Clarkon's disputes with West Oxfordshire District Council, tried to sell nearly-gone-off nettle soup at £10 a pop, and seen Lisa Hogan trying to sell China-made clothes despite a rule that everything sold there must come from within 16 miles. A memorable scene is when land agent Charlie Ireland discovers marmalade on the shelves and exclaims in shock: "But we don't grow oranges!". Nestled just south of Chipping Norton, roughly 12 miles from The Farmer's Dog, the farm shop has previously caused a stir with local council officials and residents due to the influx of visitors causing traffic woes. I half-expected chaos upon arrival, but the reality was surprisingly smooth with stewards swiftly directing us to ample parking despite the huge number of visitors. Zooming toward the farm by car (though there is a dedicated Diddly Squat bus stop outside), the high-vis brigade ushered us into a spacious field to join the ranks of parked vehicles where, pleasantly, traffic snarls were nothing but a hiccup. Once parked, a brief stroll across the road led me to what is undoubtedly the nation's favourite farm shop. The addition of new, purpose-built pavements on either side of the road was a welcome sight, especially considering the sheer numbers of people now flocking to this once-quiet country lane. The place was already buzzing with hundreds of visitors, some eagerly waiting for a selfie by the shop sign, others queuing for a pint of Hawkstone beer or a bite from the resident food van, and many more lounging on the numerous wooden picnic benches. However, upon seeing the enormous queue for the quaintly small farm shop (which was much tinier than I had anticipated), I promptly decided against joining it. I overheard talk that suggested that some had been waiting for an hour already. I would have relished the chance to peruse the products in person — luckily, many of them are available at the larger shop adjacent to The Farmer's Dog, where queues were virtually non-existent and I managed to snag some Bee Juice honey (£12) and a crate of Hawkstone lager (£28 for 12 bottles). Much like the pub, there was a palpable sense of excitement in the air, with everyone seemingly delighted to be there. Despite not stepping foot inside the shop itself, I left with fond memories of the unique experience Jeremy Clarkson and his team have crafted in this tranquil corner of the country. I'm certainly glad I dropped by. As well as its fresh produce, the food from the on-site food van and Hawkstone beers, here's a selection of goods you can buy at the farm shop.

I visited Jeremy Clarkson's farm shop 90 minutes from Wales — I took one look and made an instant decision
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Clarkon's Farm breaks Amazon Prime Video's ratings records every time it's released. The current series (the fourth) is its most-watched to date, with an average of 4.4 million viewers per episode. This makes it comfortably Amazon Prime Video's biggest show of the year, with viewer numbers growing again since series three. There's a fifth series in the works, which is scheduled to premiere in 2026. In the ratings battle, the show is pretty much now just competing with itself — no other Amazon Prime Video show has come close in the last two or three years. It's not hard to see why it's so popular. It's funny, sad, charming and, of course, it's fronted by the man who made Top Gear and The Grand Tour such hugely popular shows for decades. But as well as knowing how to make a good TV programme (which presumably is even easier when one of the biggest and richest companies on the planet is backing you), Jeremy Clarkson's warmth, passion and a willingness to learn and admit mistakes is what really makes it special (as well as all the abuse he gets from his sidekick and new-found starlet Kaleb Cooper). He's surely raised significantly the profile of British farming and the relentless challenges they face — from the weather to the mind-boggling cost of tractors and the fact that the cost of fertiliser can leap by tens of thousands of pounds in one fell swoop but you can't just put the price of your potatoes up to cover it. It seems farmers appreciate the exposure too, with one reportedly quoted as saying that Clarkson has "done more for farmers in one series of Clarkson's Farm than Countryfile achieved in 30 years". I was late to the Clarkon's Farm party and am currently racing through all four series at a rate of around one a day. I love it, it's the highlight of my day. I visited Clarkson's pub, The Farmer's Dog, and two words summed it up perfectly. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish, from wandering around the huge, packed beer garden with views over the Oxfordshire countryside, to the delicious Sunday roast and flawless service. (Image: Steffan Rhys) And I also wanted to see the Diddly Squat farm shop as it's such a central part of the series, from Clarkson's disputes with the local West Oxfordshire District Council, his attempts to sell cartons of nearly-gone-off nettle soup for £10 or his partner, Lisa Hogan, trying to sell clothes made in China despite rules that everything sold in the shop must have been made within 16 miles. One of the funniest moments of the series is when land agent Charlie Ireland spots marmalade for sale, does a double-take and stutters: "But we don't grow oranges!" The farm shop is around 12 miles north-east of The Farmer's Dog, just south of Chipping Norton. One thing that really seemed to annoy council officials and some neighbours in the earlier episodes of the show was the huge number of people visiting the shop, clogging up the surrounding roads and parking on grass verges. So I was expecting it to be busy — and, oh boy, was it busy. Arriving by car (though there is also a dedicated Diddly Squat bus stop outside), stewards in high-vis jackets directed us to a large nearby field where, despite the hundreds of cars already parked, we got a parking space easily (the traffic queues on the road were very short-lived too). Once parked, it was a short walk across the road to the farm shop, which is without question the most popular farm shop in the country. There seemed to be new, purpose-built pavements on either side of the road, which is a good idea on a previously-deserted country road on which thousands of people now descend on a daily basis. There were already hundreds of people milling around, waiting patiently to get a selfie near the shop sign, queuing for a Hawkstone beer or food from the resident food van, or sitting on one of the many wooden picnic benches. But when I saw the queue for the farm shop (which is adorably small and way smaller than I was expecting) I immediately decided that I would not be joining it. It was huge and I think I overheard someone say they had been waiting an hour already. I would have loved to have seen in person all the prodcuts on sale — fortunately, you can buy loads of them at the large shop next to The Farmer's Dog with barely any queue at all and I came away from there with some Bee Juice honey (£12) and a crate of Hawkstone lager (£28 for 12 bottles). And you can read what my colleague thought of the food from the farm shop here. Just like the pub, it felt like everyone was thrilled to be there and I came away thinking fondly of the phenomenon Jeremy Clarkson and his team have created in this peaceful part of the country. I may not have set foot in the shop itself, but I'm still very glad I stopped by. What can you buy in Jeremy Clarkson's Diddly Squat Farm Shop? As well as its fresh produce, the food from the on-site food van and Hawkstone beers, here's a selection of goods you can buy at the farm shop.

Clarkson's Farm star Harriet Cowan shares loved-up snaps with doting partner
Clarkson's Farm star Harriet Cowan took to her TikTok page to share a sweet post about her partner, James Booth, as she 'hopes to get this life with him forever' Clarkson's Farm star Harriet Cowan took to her TikTok page to share a before-and-after picture of her and her long-term partner. The star, who is a new addition to the Amazon Prime Video programme, posted a selfie of her and her partner James Booth in 2018, as well as one of them now. In the 2025 picture, she leaned back on James as they soaked in a jacuzzi. "From party teenagers in 2018, to mid to late 20s in 2025 and like to be in bed before 10. I hope I get to this life with you forever," she captioned the wholesome post, which gained almost 10,000 likes. Fans took to the comment section to share their support for the happy couple, with one user writing: "Wishing you both eternal happiness," and another adding: "You two are so cute." One fan posted: "Wishing you the best." Joining the latest series, Harriet has been a major help to ex-Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson at Diddly Squat Farm, particularly when fan-favourite Kaleb Cooper headed off to work on various projects across the UK. Viewers have been cheering for nurse turned farm worker, marvelling at her passion for rural living and ambition to demonstrate that 'girly girls' like her can handle tractors and livestock as competently as her male counterparts. Nevertheless, her time on the programme was short-lived because of Kaleb's return, which left her newfound fans yearning for more. Thankfully, the star shares online videos to let followers stay tuned into her daily adventures, drawing in millions of views. Harriet and her partner James first met when they were both at a Young Farmers' Meeting all those years ago. In a recent post shared on social media, Harriet posted a video of James driving a tractor, hinting that he is four years her senior. In another post, she said: "The 'butterfly effect' is crazy because if I didn't join Young Farmers, we'd never have met." The star continued: "YFC gave me my whole life and for that I will be forever grateful!" Harriet also urged others to consider joining community groups, promising they will "meet the greatest people". Meanwhile, in the show, once Kaleb returned to Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, Harriet said an emotional goodbye to Jeremy. The presenter, who was on Top Gear for 25 years across two stints, told Harriet: "You saved my life. So, if we get stuck again, can we give you a call?"
