Popular UK farmer Kaleb Cooper has revealed he is eyeing off a move Down Under.
Kaleb, 26, is best known as presenter Jeremy Clarkson’s assistant on the former Top Gear host’s rural reality series Clarkson’s Farm.
And speaking to The Times, Kaleb, who is also a farmer away from the cameras, revealed that he was interested in a potential move Down Under
He told the publication that Australia was ‘calling to him’ on the back of the success of Clarkson’s Farm, which screens on Amazon Prime.
‘Australia is calling me, but it’s pretty far flung, isn’t it?’ Kaleb said.
And it appears that any potential Australian move was quickly scuttled with Kaleb adding, on realising the distance between the UK and Australia: ‘Oh, f**k that.’
It’s probably a good thing too, as Kaleb who shares children Oscar, three, and Willa, one, with fiancé Taya, does not own a passport and has never been overseas.
Kaleb, who lives in Wiltshire in the south west of England, also revealed to the publication that he was perfectly happy with life on the farm adding that he doesn’t ‘see the point of other countries’.

‘If I leave Wiltshire, my ears pop,’ he said.
‘When I go away, I’m out of my comfort zone,’ he added. ‘If the fuel pump went in my car, who would I go to? I get nervous then.’
Starting his farming career at age 13, Kaleb rose to prominence as the experienced farm hand to Jeremy Clarkson’s novice farmer at Diddly Squat Farm in the Amazon reality series Clarkson’s Farm.

His turn on the popular series has seen his star rise exponentially with Kaleb now boasting 2.7 million followers on Instagram.
He has also parlayed this popularity into a multi-media career, with Kaleb authoring three books and embarking on a stage show tour, The World According to Kaleb: Kaleb Goes On Tour.
Kaleb recently revealed that he once accidentally snubbed David Beckham by failing to recognise him.
During an appearance on the UKs Capital Breakfast with Jordan North, Chris Stark and Sian Welby, in October, he said: ‘I didn’t really watch much TV, or, you know, go on Instagram too much.

‘So I don’t really understand and know any of these celebrities when they come up to me and go, “Oh hey Kaleb, can I have a picture” and so on. ‘
Kaleb revealed the the former Manchester United star had paid a visit to the famous Diddly Squat farm, which is owned and operated by his famous pal Jeremy Clarkson and is the subject of the hit Amazon Prime series.
But still, when Jeremy asked Kaleb to come and meet the sports legend, he simply replied: ‘Who?’
Kaleb added: ‘Yeah. He was at the farm, and I just walked past, and he was there. And Jeremy was like, “Come and see David.” And I was like, “David who?” And David Beckham.’
David posed alongside Gerald Cooper, who works on Jeremy’s farm and has become a fan-favourite on the show.
As a joke, Jeremy captioned the photo: ‘Gerald. And another man.’
