Kaleb Cooper admitted the “time has come” as he issued a statement on social media.

Clarkson’s Farm icon Kaleb Cooper made an emotional statement on Instagram this week as he announced it was “time to say goodbye”. The 27-year-old farmer, who shot to fame on the Prime Video show alongside Jeremy Clarkson and Lisa Hogan, posted a photograph of his battered black truck – and announced he is getting rid.

Kaleb said: “Well the time has come to say goodbye to my first ever truck! Over 200k on the clock with no problem, but unfortunately it’s now a write-off (no more London trips to sell wasabi).” Kaleb was immediately supported by fans, who were keen to offer advice related to Clarkson’s co-stars.

One said: “Reach out to [Richard] Hammond to fix it up. It’ll only take 3-4 working months.”

Somebody else said: “What did Jeremy do this time?”

While a third echoed: “Paint it gold and leave it hanging from the ceiling!”, referencing a tractor Jeremy had hung in his pub The Farmer’s Dog

t comes after his co-star Harriet Cowan opened up about the gruesome injury she sustained while farming, severing her finger while working with a log splitter.

Harriet chopped off the end of her finger, but it was thankfully stitched back on after she was rushed for medical treatment at the Pulvertaft Hand Centre.

She told fans: “Sorry I’ve been quiet! Been a crappy week. Had a run in with a log splitter, chopped the end of my finger off, but a quick surgery and they stitched it back on.”

She included a photograph of her heavily bandaged finger, with an arrow drawn on her hand with surgical marker to ensure surgeons operated on the correct digit.
