Jeremy Clarkson's farmhand Kaleb Cooper 'prevents serious accident'
Jeremy Clarkson's farmhand Kaleb Cooper 'prevents serious accident' Kaleb Cooper, who has been assisting in running former Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson's Diddly Squat farm, reportedly rushed to the aid of a driver in what could have been a "serious accident" One of the stars of Clarkson's Farm, Kaleb Cooper, has been praised for his swift actions Kaleb Cooper, the 26-year-old star of Clarkson's Farm, reportedly sprang into action to prevent a potentially disastrous accident after a hedge cutter fell from a trailer near Diddly Squat farm. Witnesses spotted Kaleb at the scene on the A3400 in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, where hydraulic fluid had spilled across the road, causing cars to skid due to the slippery surface. The incident occurred when the tank cap on the hedge cutter broke off. However, Kaleb, who was on his way to a bailing job, swiftly intervened to ease the situation. One witness, Paul Lowe, a 53-year-old swimming pool engineer from Abingdon, told The Sun: "I spotted him instantly and was a little bit starstruck as I'm a big fan of the show." Kaleb is set to return for the fifth season of Clarkson's Farm (Image: Amazon Prime ) Paul described the hectic scene, saying: "The hedge cutter was on the back of a trailer pulled by a 4×4. I think it came round the corner and flew off. Hydraulic fluid was pumping out down the road and cars were skidding after driving through it. It was chaos and pretty dangerous." Article continues below Cooper was seen making phone calls from his Mitsubishi L200 truck as he attempted to resolve the situation. "Kaleb was parked on the corner speaking with the driver and looked a bit worried. He probably had a lot of other jobs to get done and this only added to his hectic morning. It was just like watching the show live.", reports Surrey Live. The 53 year old went on to commend Kaleb for his quick thinking in preventing a serious accident by calling a colleague from his agricultural contracting business to help remove the machinery from the road. Thames Valley Police have yet to comment on the incident, but it is reported that they were contacted to ensure the safety of other road users. Attempts have been made to reach Kaleb's representatives for a statement. For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter This news follows last week's revelation that Kaleb was spotted using a mobility scooter due to an injured ankle. The Amazon Prime Video star, who helps run former Top Gear presenter's Diddly Squat farm, revealed his injury ahead of the Royal Three Counties show in Worcestershire. In a video posted on the event's official Instagram account, he said: ''I may be hobbling around because I've got a bit of a busted ankle, but it'll be fine. "In another Instagram Story, he shared: "Just got back from football and trying to haul my [butt] to shut the chickens up... look at that ankle." Article continues below Kaleb, who has had a busy schedule recently, will likely be looking forward to some rest after Jeremy announced that Clarkson's Farm would be taking a 'short break' following its upcoming fifth series.

Jeremy Clarkson sends foul-mouthed response to David Beckham's text message
Jeremy Clarkson has told how he received an 'outrageous' text message from Sir David Beckham and made sure to give the former England captain a piece of his mind Jeremy Clarkson reacted angrily with a stern warning, saying "you better f***ing not," in response to a message from Sir David Beckham. The former Top Gear presenter had initially reached out to congratulate David on being chosen as a guest editor for Country Life magazine. Since retiring from football, the 50-year-old former England star has adopted a rural lifestyle in Oxfordshire, developing a passion for beekeeping and growing his own vegetables. However, after Jeremy congratulated David on his upcoming guest editor role, their friendly exchange took a turn. Speaking to The Times, Jeremy, 65, revealed: "I said congratulations and he replied, 'Thanks for your message; not official yet, but if it happens I'll have a nice pint of Stella.'" Jeremy, who has also embraced rural life at his Diddly Squat Farm, took umbrage with David's choice of celebratory drink, given his own brewery, Hawkstone, which he launched with business partner John Hornby in 2021. He has since expanded his venture by purchasing a nearby pub, now known as The Farmer's Dog. In response to David's mention of Stella, Jeremy shot back: "You had better f***ing not," reports Gloucestershire Live. He added: "If he is going to drink anything that's not Hawkstone, it should be Beck's." John quizzed whether the 115-cap footballer is "from a long line of Belgian farmers," casting doubt over his choice of a Danish lager. David Beckham, fresh from receiving his knighthood, is set to guest edit an upcoming issue of Country Life magazine, where he will share his favourite recipes, craftspeople, and rural champions. Speaking about the opportunity, Beckham expressed his enthusiasm: "I am honoured to have been invited to guest edit an edition of a magazine that I have always admired and read." He's eager to work with the editorial team: "I am really looking forward to working with the editorial team to produce an issue that will celebrate what the countryside and the great British landscape means to me and my family." Nestled in Oxfordshire, Beckham lives near Jeremy Clarkson and has been a regular at the Diddly Squat Farm Shop, much to the delight of local staff and customers. Lisa Hogan, Jeremy Clarkson's partner, disclosed how Beckham would brighten up Sundays for the shop girls, popping in to grab milk with his daughter Harper: "He comes in every Sunday with his daughter to get the milk." Gerald Cooper, known for his role on Clarkson's Farm alongside Kaleb Cooper, has even shared a moment with Beckham, with a photo of them together gaining viral attention after Jeremy posted it, captioned simply: "Gerald. And another man."

Clarkson's Farm gives update on fan-favourite star and they look VERY different
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CLARKSON'S Farm fans have been left stunned after being given an update on a fan-favourite show star. The Diddly Squat Farm Instagram account left viewers of the Prime Video show gobsmacked when it uploaded a brand new video of one character looking very different.

Jezza affectionately named the pig after his former Top Gear co-star Richard Hammond who took a trip to the Oxfordshire farm for the programme. Whilst Richard Ham was then rather a small pig - the new clip has proved that things are all change for the farmyard animal. Alongside a video clip of the pig sniffing and snorting around, a caption read: "Look who it is!!! It's Richard 'porker' Ham." Fans were left shocked at his size as they begged Jezza and his girlfriend Lisa Hogan to keep the pig and look after him as they begged for him not to be turned into meat. One person said: "Yayy! I'm so glad Richard Ham is still with you, keep him forever!" Another added: "Oh Hurrah! Richard Ham is still around - please keep him or let him go to a petting farm, where he can live a happy life." A third then said: "He's gorgeous…. Please don't send me off to the meat packers….. please, please, please keep him….. "I'm not a veggie either but I do love him." Before someone else chimed in: "Blimey not so little Richard anymore." Jeremy Clarkson brings back beloved part of Clarkson's Farm after U-turn Jeremy previously revealed that he would be keeping the pig at the farm in order for it to make friends with the female pigs he owned. He confessed he was hoping Richard was able to get the next lot of female pigs 'in the mood' — and is likened to late Playboy boss Hugh Hefner. Jeremy says: 'The problem is, if he goes on the lorry, he's killed and all we get in return is chipolata and a pork chop the size of a walnut. 'If he stays here, we've got to feed him for no reason. 'And that's not farming. 'But the next lot of sows, we're going to use artificial insemination on them, to make them pregnant. 'But we can't do that until they get in heat and they won't get in heat unless there's man pig nearby. 'So why don't we keep him as the farm's man pig, to get the ladies in the mood?

Noel Edmonds' show is poor man's Clarkson's Farm… but he's right about how much modern Britain has changed
Read on for Ally's thoughts on obvious trans hypocrisy and a killer question by Olivia Attwood ALLY ROSS Noel Edmonds' show is poor man's Clarkson's Farm… but he's right about how much modern Britain has changed Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE most extraordinary television scene of the week featured Noel Edmonds stumbling over his affirmations, in the shower, on the other side of the world. 'I am healthy. I am happy. I am loving. I am loved.' 6 Noel Edmonds on ITV's Kiwi Adventure, where he is attempting to transform 800 acres of New Zealand countryside Credit: PA 6 The show draws some very flattering comparisons with Clarkson's Farm Credit: Amazon 6 Noel remains a television genius who made brilliant mainstream shows adored by millions Credit: PA 'I am . . . ' Mr Blobby's straight man? The drummer from Brown Sauce? Cheap Cheap Cheap's former host? No. 'I am . . . Jesus.' Apparently. A claim delivered with a laugh, but one that wasn't entirely out of character with the self-confident mood on Noel Edmonds' Kiwi Adventure, an entertaining ITV series that's drawn some very flattering comparisons with Clarkson's Farm on account of the fact Nolly is attempting to transform 800 acres of exquisite New Zealand countryside into a 'positivity haven'. And if you're wondering what the hell that might be, try to imagine Primrose Valley Holiday Park if the static caravans were replaced by a vineyard, wellness spa, spectacular scenery and bloody great statue of a knight, erected in honour of Noel slaying the bankers. Monstrous self-regard notwithstanding, Diddly Squat is still clearly the vibe Noel's trying to recreate on this show, even if he sounded more like a serial killer when he attempted to go full Clarkson and said: 'The nail gun is a sex toy. Ann Summers should sell them. It is just the horniest bit of kit.' The most obvious contrast, though, is that while Clarkson's Farm is very much an ensemble piece, filled with authentic characters who clearly adore Jeremy, no matter how much he annoys them, ITV's Kiwi Adventure begins and ends with Noel, who is as oddly mesmerising as he is mesmerisingly odd. First look at Noel Edmonds' Kiwi Adventure David Brent and Alan Partridge are two valid comparisons made by almost everyone, but there's also a hint of Ted and Ralph from The Fast Show underpinning interactions with the staff and even his 'earth angel' wife, Liz, who seems to do most of the real graft. Natural Kiwi reticence may explain some of the awkward silences, but every single one of them has clearly understood there's no call for any sycophancy when you're confronted by an ego as vast as the boss's. There is also no need to tell him he looks great for 76 either, because he's probably already told you, 'I am rocking'. And if you're really unlucky, Noel will go on to claim it's down to the cosmos and the fact that: 'All we are is energy systems and that body energy system touches everything around us and how we move into the bigger matrix, the universal system.' Because this Kiwi Adventure is driven by the fact Noel has clearly read Barbel Mohr's Cosmic Ordering Service and swallowed every word of its pseudo-scientific horse s**t. To that end, he's in the process of creating an energy garden using 'structured water', which doesn't actually exist and has already installed a crystal bath that can no more heal your negative energy than playing Mr Blobby's single at 78rpm can cure your dachshund's tinnitus. Noel's perfectly free to spout this nonsense, of course. I would take his positivity guru status a bit more seriously, though, if he wasn't the sort of man who carries grudges like Mary Poppins carries her magic carpet bag and has an ongoing beef with a New Zealand magazine called Stuff that clearly consumes him. There's no denying, though, all the vendettas and cosmic woo-woo lend themselves to a hugely entertaining ITV stitch-up which almost forces you to pick a side. If that's the case and it's Edmonds versus ITV, I am 100 per cent Team Noel here because, whatever his faults, he remains a television genius who, unlike the fools currently mis-managing Britain's main commercial network, made brilliant mainstream television shows that were adored by millions and have more than earned him his place in this Earthly paradise. House Party And should anyone doubt Noel's ability to read the minds of the great British public, who grew up watching House Party in a happier, funnier, friendlier country than the preachy, uptight, litter-strewn mess we now inhabit, then they should listen to the answer he gives when asked if he misses the UK. 'All the things I miss about Britain are the reasons I left. 'Our country changed so much, so fast, so fundamentally, I found myself a quieter country.' Or, as a memorable Sun front page once nearly put it, will the last person to leave Britain please switch off the telly. Noel Edmonds' Kiwi Adventure, ITV, 9pm, tonight UNEXPECTED MORONS IN BAGGING AREA THE Finish Line, Roman Kemp: 'Chippy is the slang term for what type of tradesman?' Janae: 'A chip shop.' Roman Kemp: 'Based in Norwich, UEA is the University of where?' Mickey: 'America.' And Roman Kemp, who was actually looking for Nepal when he asked Catherine: 'The capital of which country is closest to Mount Everest?' But got: 'London.' SATURDAY, Blankety Blank, Bradley: 'Naga (Munchetty), you're still writing. What are you doing? A letter to someone?' That GMB application isn't going to fill itself in, Brad. RANDOM TV IRRITATIONS BBC climate propagandist Justin Rowlatt hopping around like a madman at the first whiff ofsummer. Nick Frost slumming it for the political cred on Transaction. The BBC vanishing all trace of men from its Summer of Sport promos. And the sad state of ITV which, since 1994, has gone from Whicker's World, to The Price Of Perfection host Olivia Attwood saying: 'Ten years ago, I'd have cut off my left fanny flap for that tan.' With the truly frightening thing being, there's still a long way to go before it reaches rock bottom. DOCTOR MOTOX THE Price Of Perfection, episode three, a Botox specialist called Mohamed, who trades under the name Dr Motox, is hit with a killer question by host Olivia Attwood. 'I have to ask, is Doctor Motox your real name?' It isn't, any more than yours is Olivia Twattwood. WOKE IN A GRAY AREA 6 Jordan Gray flashed his penis on Channel 4's Friday Night WHEN Jerry Sadowitz flashed his penis on stage back in 2022, the woke establishment reacted with outrage and the stand-up was banned from the Edinburgh Festival venue. Yet when Jordan Gray flashed his penis on Channel 4's Friday Night Live, just three months later, the woke establishment reacted with glee and the stand-up was rewarded with a six-part ITV2 sitcom about a chaotic supermarket night shift called Transaction. The clue to this obvious hypocrisy being the Trans half of that title refers to Jordan, who self-identifies as a comedian. And if you're so brainwashed by the gender theory crazies you believe this means I should've written 'her penis' in the second paragraph, then you may also be able to pretend Transaction is a work of comic genius. It'll take a flat-Earther's level of delusion, though, because the cult of woke has no interest in making an audience laugh. It's all about bending them to their deranged political will. Even without the PC handbrake jammed firmly on, however, the darkly unpleasant Transaction would still fail spectacularly on every level as it has no structure, soul, realism, decent characters, work ethic, wit or anything much beyond an endlessly recurring castration joke which leaves you with the distinct impression Jordan's genuinely repulsed by the sight of 'a penis I never asked for'. You'd hope, then, that Jordan now understands Friday Night Live viewers felt exactly the same way. I can offer no other verdict more optimistic here, though, than the possibility there may still be worse television shows to come in 2025. But only if ITV makes a second series of Transaction. BLANKETY Blank, Bradley Walsh: 'Tell us a bit about yourself.' Janae: 'I'm very spiritual. I'm actually a witch, a healer, I'm very good with herbology, numerology, astrology and I'm a Tarot reader.' On second thoughts, don't. GREAT SPORTING INSIGHTS CALLUM WILSON: 'Rodri will soon become the player he already is.' Jermain Defoe: 'You always know what Quenda's going to do. I thought he'd shoot here but he didn't.' And Joe Cole: 'He's hit the post but two inches either way and it's in.'

Exasperated BBC News anchor Martine Croxall changing 'pregnant people' to 'pregnant women,' live on air. Phil Mitchell's surprisingly tender reaction to Nigel Bates' Alzheimer's diagnosis, on EastEnders. And ITV4's broadcaster supreme Steve Ryder, bringing all the effortless style and wit that marked his career to a trackside invasion of a geese, at Oulton Park's British Touring Cars Championship, which briefly threatened to halt his final ever television appearance: 'A few crowd control issues. "This kind of problem, you can send off into the long grass. So they're on their way to Canada and we can have a gander at the next race.' What a crying shame neither ITV nor the BBC ever really treated Steve with the respect his great talent fully deserved.
