The TV personality regularly featured on the popular Prime series, which began in 2021, for more than two years and has become popular with viewers for his witty comments and hilarious observations.

He undoubtedly became the show's break-out star, with many viewers calling for Kaleb to land his own spin-off series.

But who is Kaleb Cooper? Daily Star has taken a closer look inside his life, love and what he is planning to do next.

Fans demand spin-off

Kaleb regularly featured on Clarkson's farm and has become so popular with viewers for his witty comments and hilarious observations that fans have demanded a spin-off series.

After becoming a break-out star on the show, viewers flocked to Twitter to ask for a series focused just on Kaleb.

One said: "If Kaleb Cooper doesn't get his own spinoff, I will riot."

A second agreed, asking: "Can we have a spin off where Caleb gets sent off to different locations for 'work purposes'. He'll hate it but it would make brilliant telly."

"Prime Video need to make a spin off series of Clarkson's Farm where they send Caleb around the world to experience different cultures. I’d watch it. He’s never been out of his home town," said a third.

'Exciting' new career

After two years on the Prime series, Kaleb has announced that he is stepping away from the farm to embark on an exciting new career in the theatre.

He had previously posted on Instagram that he was "building up the courage to do something very special," and has since revealed he will be treading the boards for a nationwide tour, saying: "I’m braving it and leaving Chippy for a UK theatre tour!

"I’ll be announcing my first show tomorrow morning, that’s going on sale from 10am," before adding later in the day: "The first available date to book tickets for my national tour is going to be in a big old barn called the Nottingham Royal Concert Hall!"

It is not the only exciting news that Kaleb has shared in recent weeks either, after the star announced that he is collaborating with the Royal Agricultural University (RAU) to launch a new bursary for those looking to follow in his footsteps and launch a career in agriculture.

He launched the bursary to students at Cirencester University earlier in May, saying during his launch speech: "Farming is who I am.

"Encouraging the younger generation into agriculture has always been so important to me. I feel lucky that I knew my path from such an early age and want to help spread that passion and drive.

"Launching this bursary means so much, as it can support students who want to pursue an agricultural career or who might be struggling to get into farming."

'50p wage'

Although he may be on one of the biggest shows on TV, Kaleb revealed the challenges he faces as a farmer – and that he only pays himself 50p an hour.

The star runs his own farm in Oxford and has recently purchased eight calves, but revealed he had to take certain measures to ensure the farm remains in profit.

Speaking to The Performance People podcast hosted by Ben and Georgie Ainslie, he explained one measure was to pay himself a small wage, saying: "When I'm working for myself, when I'm feeding my calves, I bought eight calves, it's a little bit of a new business idea that I'm doing.

"And then you feed them on milk which costs me about £200 a calf and then selling them at nine months, trying to get a profit, trying to see if it will work you know.

"But, I worked out the other day how much my hourly rate is. I pay myself 50p an hour so then I can make money.

"But if I put myself at £10 an hour I don't make money, I lose money on the calves."

Sweet throwback snap

Kaleb sent fans wild after posting a sweet throwback snap of himself on Instagram where he looked completely unrecognisable.

The snap saw a teenage Kaleb standing in a field, as he encouraged others to follow their dreams.

He said in the caption: "This is a throw back. 14 years old working on a dairy farm. Dreams don’t work unless you do!"

Love life

Away from the limelight, Kaleb has been in a relationship with his long-term partner Taya for more than six years.

The Clarkson's Farm star made an exciting festive announcement on Instagram too, when he revealed that he had proposed to Taya on Christmas Day 2022.

He shared a photograph of them together outdoors, saying in the sweet snap: "She said yes!

"2022 has been an amazing year. This definitely tops it off. I honestly can't wait for 2023 and all the following years after that.

"Taya you're my best friend as well as the love of my life. Was a long wait for this (six and a half years)."

His fiancee took to the comments to gush about her future husband as she said: "I love you, can't wait to marry you!"

Jeremy Clarkson's daughter Emily also joined in the celebrations as she commented: "Yay congrats guys!"

Baby announcement

Kaleb and Taya share a son called Oscar – and are due to become parents again this month after announcing they were expecting a daughter.

Taking to Instagram, Kaleb shared a photograph of the happy family alongside a baby scan to celebrate the happy news.

"So excited to announce that baby Cooper number 2 is cooking nicely," Kaleb wrote.

"My number one goal is to buy myself a farm and be able to bring my kids up enjoying what I think is the best lifestyle which is the farming lifestyle."
