Kaleb Cooper has revealed his plans to leave the UK as he admits one country is ‘calling for him’.
The farmer turned TV star is well known for being Jeremy Clarkson’s almost unofficial side kick on Clarkson’s Farm. And farming is pretty much his life, and exactly where he wants to be.
Cooper has never been abroad - he doesn’t even own a passport. At 26 years old, the lad’s apparently never been on a plane or train but importantly, he’s happy.

Sharing two young kids with his wife-to-be Taya, he has racked up a huge following over recent years.
Cooper recently spoke to The Times as he admitted he’s ‘never seen the point of other countries’.
“If I leave Wiltshire, my ears pop,” he said.
When he did leave the world he knows and woke up in Scotland during his recent tour, he ‘felt lost’ as he likes to be ‘where he knows how everything works’.

“So when I go away, I’m out of my comfort zone,” Cooper explained. “If the fuel pump went in my car, who would I go to? I get nervous then.”
But while he may have no intentions of literally going global, his fame certainly has.
Thanks to the popular Amazon Prime show, Cooper’s ended up pretty well-loved as far as Down Under.
“Australia is calling me,” Cooper admitted. “But it’s pretty far flung, isn’t it?”

And realising just how far it is, he added: “Oh, f*** that.”
And while a lot of Cooper’s generation might be shunning the idea of having a family in their twenties and leaving it until their older, the lad’s happy with how Taya and he have done things.
“I wanted a girl and boy, which I’ve got and am very grateful,” he said. “Then when I get older, I can go down the pub with them, or out on the tractors, and I can still be energetic.”
And when he is older, maybe he might just consider actually leaving the UK.

Cooper said: “I'll make all the money now, hopefully have a farm, then chill out, go partying and be in Ibiza, though I can’t think of anything worse than being in a nightclub.”
And why does he shun the clubs? Because: “Everyone’s too close to me.”
Well, fair enough lad.
