Kaleb Cooper shares Diddly Squat health scare which saw son, 2, fighting infection after farm mishap
The Clarkson’s Farm star has recalled an unfortunate incident from the farm
Clarkson’s Farm star Kaleb Cooper has revealed his son Oscar, two, was struck ill after joining his dad at Diddly Squat.
Cooper, who serves as both Jeremy Clarkson’s mentor and employee at his Chipping Norton farm, has grown up farming since a young age.And as such, Cooper is keen to have his children join him in the fields too.
But in a new interview, Cooper – who’s currently embarking on a nationwide tour – revealed his son learned the hard way not to lick the equipment around the animals.
The Clarkson’s Farm star has revealed his eldest child – he also shares nine-month-old daughter Willa with fiancee Taya – accompanied him to feed the cows when the incident occurred.
Cooper said: “I was feeding the cattle and my boy looked at me, stuck his tongue out and licked the whole bar of the gate.”Then he went, ‘Nice!’,” the 25-year-old farmer explained as he delved into the youngster’s health woe. “I told him, ‘You’re going to regret that, buddy’.
“Next thing I know he’s got a chest infection, ear infection.
“But that’s how you build an immune system, right?” Cooper pondered, seemingly at ease with his son’s health scare.
Fans may be able to see more of Oscar when Clarkson’s Farm returns for its third season in May – and a fourth season has already been given the green light by Amazon with filming currently underway.One thing that fans will definitely be able to see in season three of Clarkson’s Farm is the former Top Gear star’s foray into pig farming.
During the first two seasons, Clarkson got stuck into life as a sheep and a cow farmer, and now it’s time for the pigs.
Whether the pig enterprise will exist in the fourth season remains to be seen, although both Clarkson and Cooper have provided updates from Diddly Squat as the cameras continue to roll.
In fact, recently Cooper was left reeling after Clarkson revealed there’d been a “total disaster” on the farm in a social media update.Elsewhere, Clarkson admitted there had been another disaster but this time it was of no fault of his own.
Fly tippers had dumped a pile of rubbish on Diddly Squat land, leaving the Grand Tour star to deal with the clean-up.
Less than impressed, Clarkson wrote in his Times column how he mulled over the possibility of dumping it onto council-owned land so they’d have to clear it up.
However, given the numerous spats he’d been involved in with the local authorities, Clarkson decided against it.
