Jeremy Clarkson makes bet with Kaleb Cooper after giving him huge promotion on farm

Clarkson's Farm is returning for a third season very soon, so it won't be long before we're back to Diddly Squat with the team.

However, this time it looks like there's a major competition going on between Jeremy Clarkson and Kaleb Cooper if the trailer is anything to go by.

Of course there'll be even more ups and downs on the farm and each year brings new challenges to deal with.

First off it's time for the good news, Jeremy has made Kaleb Cooper 'farm manager' over at Diddly Squat.

It's a very well-deserved promotion considering all the hard work and expertise Kaleb has put into Clarkson's Farm over the years.

It probably wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that without Kaleb there would be no Clarkson's Farm, especially since he's pretty much the guy who knows what he's doing down on Diddly Squat.

However, here comes the twist, in the season three trailer Clarkson then tells Kaleb he wants to 'make it a competition' and challenges his new farm manager to see who can make more money.

"Who can make the most money? Me out of unfarmed land, or you out of farmed land?" he asks Kaleb.

At this point it might be useful to highlight that for all the fame and fanfare around Diddly Squat, it actually doesn't make all that much money.

Clarkson made a profit of just £144 in his first year and said the financial pressures of 2023 meant that figure 'will look like a dream result when I get the figures for this year'.

So if Kaleb is meant to be making money off the farm side of the business, he has his work cut out for him.

Of course the next clip in the trailer has 'Cheerful' Charlie Ireland asking Kaleb about the bet Clarkson has initiated, and then cuts to the man himself using a Henry Hoover to remove blackberries from a bush.

We then see a series of Jeremy's other schemes for season three, including pigs, mushrooms and goats, one of which appears to plant its hoof in his knackers.

Kaleb confidently declares 'I'm gonna win this competition', but later on Clarkson breaks out the whiteboard and says he's up by £230 while Kaleb is in the hole for £78,000.

Who will win in the end though? You'll have to watch the show itself to find out.

Season three of Clarkson's Farm begins on Prime Video on 3 May, with the remaining episodes releasing on 10 May.
