Kaleb Cooper has revealed the hilarious thing he did after first meeting Jeremy Clarkson, leaving viewers in stitches as they tuned into his new comedy special.

Hitting Amazon Prime Video last week, The World According to Kaleb: On Tour is a show filmed during Cooper's final tour appearance in which he talks about rural life, farming fun and all the trouble he and Clarkson get up to.

And with a 3.7 out of 5 rating on Prime Video, it is safe to say viewers have enjoyed the 67 minute comedy journey.

Now aged 26, Cooper was first introduced to us back in the first season of Clarkson's Farm when it debuted on Amazon Prime in 2021 during the Covid-19 pandemic.

With not much else to do while we were trapped indoors, people binge watched new shows - with Jezza's move from fast cars to tractors among the huge successes during this period of time.

Now, in his comedy special, Cooper revealed that he had only met Clarkson for the first time not too long before filming began for Clarkson's Farm.

The show reveals that Cooper had in fact worked on Diddly Squat Farm for a number of years - back when it was called Curdle Hill Farm - before Clarkson directly took over running it in 2019.

Working for local farmer Howard Pauling before his retirement, Pauling ran Diddly Squat with the help of Cooper.

"It was year two of working for Howard and Jeremy was living in the cottage at the time because Jeremy blew up his house, mad I know," Cooper told the audience.

"And I was coming up with the sprayer, I was going to spray the barley off, he came out the house and he stopped me. And we met for the first time and we got chatting.

"And he said, 'Ah, Kaleb can I ask you a quick favour?'. I said, 'Of course, what is it?'"

Cooper continued: "He said, 'Look, can you drive a little bit slower past my house because Lisa's cat runs around and it's an old cottage and it rumbles'.

"And I said, 'Yeah, sure thing, not a problem'. Anyway, I drive as fast as I can past that house just to simply p*ss him off. It's great fun, honestly."

It was after Pauling's retirement that Clarkson's agronomist, Charlie Ireland, asked Cooper to come and be the contractor for Diddly Squat Farm 'for two months until Jeremy takes it on'.

"I said, 'Woah, back the f**k up'," Cooper joked.

"He can't do that."

It was during those two months that Amazon was interviewing people to play Cooper's role for Clarkson's Farm.

On that final day of filming, he was asked to go and see Clarkson in his office; a moment that was filmed and is the first time you see Cooper in season one of the documentary show.

The World According to Kaleb can be watched via Amazon Prime Video.
