Fans of Kaleb Cooper were left gobsmacked when they saw a lookalike competition at Jeremy Clarkson’s FarmFest, wondering whether the real Kaleb Cooper would please stand up, as they didn’t have a clue who the real deal was. While many of the wannabe Kaleb Coopers didn’t look a thing like him, a few were almost identical, with some even questioning whether he was actually there, or whether they were all just wannabes.
Lookalike Contest Highlights
People thought they figured out that the man holding number eight was actually 28-year-old Kaleb. However, some weren't convinced, but there were some real close calls present in the line-up, too. “We asked for Kaleb Cooper lookalikes and FarmFest delivered,” @rydaleclothing posted on TikTok. The further down the line the camera panned, the more the people looked like Kaleb, and people got confused about who was actually who, and whether the man himself was actually there.
Fan Reactions
But some people weren’t convinced, as one woman wrote: “I feel only one looks like Kaleb other than the one that is him”. “Two is a good lookalike,” another pointed out, saying that he was the closest, and none of the others really looked like him, and were probably just entering the competition as a joke. “Number 8 has a stupendous resemblance to Kaleb, 2-3 are close contenders,” a third reckoned. A fourth joked: “Number 8. Nobody else would turn up in that weather wearing jeans”.
Kaleb Cooper's Career Journey
Kaleb Cooper is from Oxfordshire and has consistently described himself as being farm-focused from a young age. Before TV, his career centred on hands-on agricultural work, building practical experience in day-to-day farm operations. Then, his public profile began when he became a key part of Diddly Squat Farm operations in Clarkson’s Farm. On the Amazon Prime series, he’s positioned as a working farmer and advisor to Jeremy Clarkson – often translating farming realities.
Kaleb's Recent Wedding
Kaleb has had a fantastic year so far, as he tied the knot with his long-term partner, Taya Wilkinson, after proposing on Christmas Day in 2022. The Clarkson's Farm star promised fans he’d have a 'feral farm wedding'. He was then seen leaving a local pub with his ushers before making a dramatic entrance at his wedding. Kaleb arrived in a £250,000 McLaren supercar with his son by his side. It looked like a lovely day as they posed in a field beside a red tractor, beaming from ear to ear.
The couple celebrated the momentous occasion with their three children. Jeremy Clarkson and girlfriend Lisa Hogan were also among the guests seen celebrating the couple's big day. They were joined by other cast members of the hit Amazon Prime show at the Cotswolds service, which was held just minutes from Diddly Squat Farm where Kaleb works. Jeremy, Kaleb’s boss, played a very generous role at the reception by providing an unlimited supply of his Hawkstone booze. People were encouraged to simply sit under the keg and refill their glasses, rather than walk away with them.
