Kaleb Cooper, the breakout star of Amazon Prime's hit series Clarkson's Farm, has revealed he turned down the opportunity to move to Australia, despite the country's obvious agricultural appeal.
In an exclusive interview, the 25-year-old farming phenomenon explained that while Australia might seem like a farmer's paradise, his heart remains firmly rooted in the Cotswolds countryside.
"Too Many Spiders" and Other Concerns
"They've got too many spiders," Cooper stated with his characteristic blunt honesty. "And snakes. And everything else that wants to kill you." The practical farmer, known for his no-nonsense approach on the show, clearly isn't tempted by Australia's notorious wildlife.
Despite acknowledging Australia's impressive agricultural scale and potential opportunities, Cooper emphasised his deep connection to the British landscape that made him famous. "I love England," he declared, putting any speculation about an international move firmly to rest.
From Farmhand to Household Name
Since first appearing on Clarkson's Farm in 2021, Cooper has become one of television's most beloved personalities. His straight-talking demeanour and hilarious clashes with Jeremy Clarkson have made him the unexpected star of the series.
The young farmer's journey from local farm worker to celebrity status has been remarkable, but he remains committed to his agricultural roots. His recent ventures include:
- Publishing his first book about farming life
- Continuing his work at Diddly Squat Farm
- Becoming a prominent voice for British agriculture
- Inspiring a new generation to consider farming careers
Future Farming Ambitions
While Australia might be off the table, Cooper has big plans closer to home. He's focused on expanding his farming operations and continuing to champion British agriculture through his growing platform.
"I've got my own farming ambitions here," Cooper explained, hinting at future projects that would keep him firmly planted in familiar territory. His loyalty to British farming and his clear-eyed assessment of international opportunities demonstrate why audiences have taken him to their hearts.
Fans of Clarkson's Farm can rest assured that Cooper will continue bringing his unique brand of farming wisdom and entertainment from the Cotswolds, rather than the Australian outback.
