Kaleb Cooper, star of Clarkson’s Farm, has a beef with the daytime show This Morning on ITV.
The farmer, 25, complained on Instagram that he had been suffering from a health issue since his appearance on the show to promote season 3 of Jeremy Clarkson’s hit series.
Kaleb admitted to having an earache since being asked to wear an earpiece for his This Morning interview, joking that he ‘blamed’ ITV and was now in a’mood.’
On his Stories, he wrote: ‘I’ve got an earache which I’m blaming on ITV, because when I did the This Morning interview I had to wear an earpiece to be able to hear them and since then I’ve had an earache laughing face emoji.]
Rounding off his post, Kaleb quipped: ‘I might be in a mood at the moment!’
Hopefully, Kaleb will recover in time for the third season of Clarkson’s Farm, the Amazon Prime series that first propelled him to fame.
The show follows Jeremy, 64, as he manages his Diddly Squat Farm in Oxfordshire on a daily basis with the help of Kaleb.
In 2008, he purchased land in the Cotswolds. When the previous farmer retired in 2019, the TV presenter decided to take over the farm.
In the upcoming series, the team will face challenges such as rising farm supply prices and dashed dreams for Jeremy’s restaurant.
West Oxfordshire District Council shut down Jeremy’s restaurant after he allegedly opened it without planning permission.
According to Prime Video, the show will follow Jeremy’s attempt to make ends meet by profiting from unfarmed land such as woodland and hedgerows.
His other schemes will include goats, pigs, mushrooms, nettles, and deer.
Since his appearance on Clarkson’s Farm, Kaleb has become a star in his own right, releasing a charity single and embarking on a one-man show tour about his experiences.
However, he previously said his heart is still with farming and has no plans to leave the profession: ‘As long as I can highlight farming and put it on the map I feel it’s the best feeling ever.
‘I want to be the best ambassador there is for farmers out there.’
Kaleb also said he didn’t know who Jeremy was before they began working together and thought he was a ‘flash git’ when they first met.

‘I resented Jeremy slightly the first time I met him but not because he had a farm- it was because he asked me to drive the tractor more slowly past his house so his cat could run around safely,’ he’s shared.
‘I ignored that because we were so busy. And to be honest, I didn’t know who he was. I didn’t have time to watch TV.
‘Sometimes the odd sports car would be delivered [for a motoring review] and I’d think, “Who’s this flash git then?”,’ he added when speaking to The Telegraph.
Clarkson’s Farm season 3 lands on Amazon Prime Video on May 3.
