Former Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson has shared an amusing anecdote about his co-star Kaleb Cooper from Clarkson’s Farm. The incident occurred when US Vice President JD Vance visited the tranquil town of Chipping Norton, causing a stir among some locals.
While some residents voiced their political objections to his visit, Kaleb’s irritation was sparked by entirely different circumstances.
In a recent column for The Sunday Times, Jeremy recalled how the politician was given a police escort as he toured the local area. They had been tasked with clearing the way for the convoy as it passed through the town, and one of those affected was Kaleb, Jeremy’s right-hand man on Clarkson’s Farm.
Jeremy recalled the incident, saying: “One of the people they ordered to pull over was Kaleb Cooper, my tractor driver, but it was starting to rain and he urgently needed to get his load of wheat into the shed, so he invited his tormentor to eff off. And carried on regardless.”
Following the incident, Kaleb didn’t hold back in expressing his frustration. Responding to one of Jeremy’s Instagram posts, he explained what had happened from his perspective.
He said: “My wheat got wet in the trailer last night as the convo(y) stopped me in the rain in chippy. I could have easily went on my way and got it in the shed without getting in the way.”
In far more pleasant news for the 27-year-old farmer, he celebrated the arrival of his third child with partner Taya on Thursday (August 14).
Having popped the question almost three years ago, Ashton has become the pair’s newest addition.
Announcing the joyful news on Instagram, Kaleb wrote: “Baby number 3. everyone meet Ashton weighing 6.13lb born 14th august at 6:28pm at chipping norton maternity. Ps don’t worry I bought the amazing midwife’s a Chinese as well.”
Whilst Kaleb voiced his own concerns about being affected by the politician’s entourage, the Clarkson’s Farm personality wasn’t the only local to express their frustration at his visit.
In Charlbury, near to where he was staying, a demonstration dubbed the “Vance Not Welcome Party” was organised by the local “Everybody Hates Elon” and the “Stop Trump Coalition” groups.
However, some were delighted to see him, indeed, the recently announced Strictly competitor and former Apprentice star, Tom Skinner was invited to the vice-president’s holiday residence after they had previously chatted on social media.
Following their meeting at Vance’s holiday retreat earlier this week, Tom took to X to express his appreciation: “Unreal night with JD and his friends and family.”
He continued: “He was a proper gent. Lots of laughs and some fantastic food. A brilliant night, one to tell the grand kids about.”
