Clarkson's Farm star Kaleb Cooper forced to leave hotel at 5am after 'meltdown'

Clarkson's Farm star Kaleb Cooper, who is used to spending most of his time outdoors, experienced a breakdown while staying at a hotel in Manchester

Clarkson's Farm star Kaleb Cooper has revealed he had a shock meltdown during his The World According to Kaleb tour.

Earlier this year, Kaleb embarked on a TV tour, but it wasn't long before he was overwhelmed with emotion. It was during his stay in a Manchester hotel that he found himself struggling to cope.

Kaleb was thrilled when he first learned about the opportunity to tour, doing what he loves, with one of the shows even set to be filmed for Prime Video. The show will follow Kaleb as he continues his farming work and meets other farmers and celebrities along the way.

For the majority of the tour, Kaleb travelled by bus, but his stop in Manchester required him to stay in a hotel, where he had a breakdown. Talking through the experience, Kaleb said: "I’m a little bit more comfortable in terms of travel and I did love meeting lots of farmers around the UK. You learn so much stuff, for example, I learned how onions are grown! And I went to goat farms where they milk goats, make cheese. It’s definitely given me a morale boost – 'I can do it, Kaleb'!"

The 26-year-old added: "I did have one meltdown, in Manchester, though. By that point the tour bus was my comfort zone. I knew I could open the door and be straight outside. But there, they put me in a hotel on the 50th floor and when I opened my door I was in a narrow corridor and it freaked me out. So I ended up going out and sitting outside from 5am, just knowing that I could get out and away if I needed to.”

Kaleb is a British farmer, and now a TV star, best known for his role on the popular Channel 5 reality TV show Clarkson's Farm. He works as a farmhand alongside former Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson, who is attempting to run a farm in the Cotswolds. Kaleb gained widespread recognition for his down-to-earth personality, expertise in farming, and candid interactions with Clarkson, offering guidance on running the farm. His sharp wit and farming knowledge have made him a fan favorite. Kaleb's presence on the show has led to a rise in his popularity, and he has since become a huge figure in the UK farming community.

Outside of farming, Kaleb is a father to two children, Oscar and Willa Grace, whom he shares with his fiancée Kaya. Kaleb’s unsure whether his children Oscar, 4, and Willa, 2, will follow in his footsteps. “I never want to push them into the job. I want them to choose farming because they like it.” Kaleb explained. “I'm never going to push them and say: ‘You've gotta come and help me. You've gotta come and do this.’ They've got to come to me and say: ‘Look, Dad, I really want to do this.’”

However, there’s one thing Kaleb won’t do when it comes to his kids’ future - visit London. “I've always said this. If they ever go to London to become an accountant or anything like that, I just want them to know that I'm never going to visit them. They can come and see me,” he laughed.

One place he is willing to travel to is Australia. Kaleb reveals he’s had offers for shows including I’m A Celebrity …. Get me Out Of Here! and he’d “never say never,” he just has to get his hands on a passport first!

“Yeah, the offers have been there, but I've just said ‘no’. I'm too busy at the moment on the farm. and I've always said I’d like to do I’m A Celebrity, but I’ve got to get a passport first. That's a scary thing for me. I've only just managed to go round part of the UK! One day I'll maybe get there, but I've got to get some sort of courage to do that.”
