Jeremy Clarkson has once again left fans scratching their heads, this time with a painfully awkward birthday tribute to his Clarkson's Farm co-star, Kaleb Cooper.
The former Top Gear host took to social media to celebrate Cooper's birthday, but the post quickly backfired as followers branded it "cringeworthy" and "uncomfortable."
What Did Clarkson Say?
In his signature blunt style, Clarkson wrote: "Happy birthday to Kaleb Cooper. The only man I know who can turn a simple tractor into a soap opera." The message was accompanied by a photo of the pair, but fans were quick to point out the odd dynamic.
Fan Reactions
The post immediately drew mixed reactions:
- "This is so awkward… do they even like each other?" – one fan commented.
- "Jeremy, just say ‘happy birthday’ like a normal person!" – another joked.
- "Love their banter, but this feels forced." – a third added.
The Clarkson-Cooper Dynamic
Clarkson and Cooper have become an unlikely duo since the launch of Clarkson's Farm, with their contrasting personalities providing much of the show's humour. However, this latest exchange has left some wondering if their on-screen tension spills over off-camera.
Cooper, a young farmer who often clashes with Clarkson’s chaotic approach to agriculture, has previously joked about their love-hate relationship. But was this birthday message a step too far?
What’s Next for the Pair?
With Clarkson's Farm renewed for another season, fans can expect more of their fiery exchanges. Whether this birthday post was just banter or a sign of deeper friction remains to be seen.
One thing’s for sure – Clarkson knows how to keep people talking.
