Kaleb Cooper has opened up on the “interesting and difficult” situation he and Jeremy Clarkson now face at Diddly Squat farm.
Over the past few months, both Clarkson’s Farm stars have been sharing concerning updates regarding the impact tumultuous weather conditions have had on the Chipping Norton farm.
In June, Clarkson sparked concern after posting an aerial shot of his farm ravaged by rain, admitting it’s going to be a “tough year”.
And Cooper echoed this just a few days later when he shared an image of flooded parts of the farm’s fields with his 2.7 million followers.
Sadly for both men and the rest of the Diddly Squat family, it appears fortunes have failed to turn.
Taking to Instagram on Monday night, Cooper didn’t share an image from the farm but instead posted a worrying message about the state of affairs.
He wrote on his Instagram Stories: “I can sense this being an interesting and difficult season!
“We really don’t need this rain in July after the winter we had,” he added, alongside a face-palm emoji.
Rain has ravaged Oxfordshire where Clarkson’s farm is situated and the forecast shows more is to come in the next week or so with no respite in sight.
Clarkson has delved into exactly how impactful adverse weather has on farmers in his Amazon Prime Video series, revealing he only made £144 in his debut year running the farm.
The weather seems to be the latest in a string of unfortunate circumstances facing Cooper of late after he was hospitalised earlier this month.
In a Snapchat update obtained by Daily Star, Cooper shared an image while waiting in a hospital ward.
He didn’t disclose why he was there but wrote in the accompanying caption: “I must say I have grown a disliking to being sat in hospitals. Think I’m growing a fear of them.”
However, it hasn’t all been bad news for Clarkson and co at Diddly Squat in recent weeks after the 64-year-old finally managed to purchase his very own pub in the countryside.
While he’s admitted there’s a lot of work to do before he can open it to the public, work is underway on the pub in Burford, Oxfordshire.
But for some fortunate punters, including Cooper, Clarkson did open the doors of The Windmill to a select few this past weekend to watch England’s Euro 2024 final defeat to Spain.
