Not too long ago, Kaleb Cooper had never left his home town of Chipping Norton in the heart of the Cotswolds. Now, he's talking about the only reason stopping him from leaving the country and heading to Australia for a series of ITV's I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.
It's been a whirlwind five years for Cooper since teaming up with Jeremy Clarkson for Amazon Prime Video's Clarkson's Farm.
The partnership goes well beyond television, too, with their farming relationship a very real business operation off-screen.

Cooper, who is 25, acts beyond his years in training 64-year-old Clarkson in the art of farming arable land.
It's something that returns for an eagerly anticipated third season on Friday, 3 May, as they battle the aftermath of West Oxfordshire District Council shutting down the Diddly Squat Farm restaurant.
Earlier this year, Cooper proudly exclaimed: "I'm just conquering my fear of leaving Chipping Norton!"
He was referring to his massively popular nationwide tour, The World According To Kaleb - Kaleb Goes On Tour.

It's seen him go from young farmhand to somewhat of a bonafide celebrity, with the dad-of-two welcoming the move.
And as we mentioned, he's even open to shows that could take him as far as Australia if I'm A Celebrity ever come calling.
The main reason that would stop him from ever taking up such a move, though, is real life and doing his day job. Time simply wont allow for it should the opportunity arise.

He said: “I want to farm here. I don’t want to move away from my family and everything I know.
"This is where I was brought up and this is where I’m going to stay.”
The stumbling block could well go further than that for the young man, given his admission about his legal ability to leave the United Kingdom.

He said earlier this year: "I'd love to do [I'm A Celebrity] but I haven't got a passport yet. I'm just conquering my fear of leaving Chipping Norton!"
His fears of leaving his rural hometown were enough to make most people scoff in admiration, saying: "I have a massive fear of big buildings, just imagine if it all collapses!"
He once ventured to London as a child with school but stayed on the coach that took him and his classmates, saying there were 'too many people'. And he's not wrong there!
You can see Kaleb in more familiar territory when Clarkson's Farm season three airs on Prime Video on Friday, 3 May.
