Kaleb Cooper speaks out on Clarkson’s Farm co-star and friend Jeremy Clarkson’s cancer diagnosis

“He is good. The spirits are high.”

Clarkson’s Farm star Kaleb Cooper has been “by Jeremy Clarkson’s side” amid his prostate cancer diagnosis. The former Top Gear presenter revealed that he had been diagnosed with an “aggressive” form of prostate cancer during the most recent episode of his hit Prime Video series.

Speaking to The Daily Mail, Cooper, who has appeared alongside Clarkson in all five seasons of Clarkson’s Farm, has shared a health update.

“He is good. The spirits are high, which is good,” he began. “If anything like this happens to any of your friends, and you just said to my best mate, you’ve gotta be supported through that whole journey.

“And that’s where I’ve been, I’ve been right by his side, and his spirits are really good, so thank you.”

He went on to heap praise on Clarkson, calling him “strong-minded” and hailing his determination.

“He’s strong-minded, he’s got a strong mind on him, which is good,” Kaleb continued. “And the message about catching anything early is quite important.

“That’s the main thing, but you’ve gotta keep checking, you know what I mean, it’s all these things, you know, people can sit there and say I’m busy, busy, busy.

“But actually sometimes you’ve gotta go, ‘I’m gonna just have to check and see if I’m okay’.”

In scenes from the latest episode of Clarkson’s Farm, Cooper and his co-star Charlie Ireland appeared emotional as Clarkson delivered the news.

“I disappeared off the other week, and I had a biopsy, and it is cancer, and it’s aggressive, but it’s really early,” he said.

“I promise I’ll be fine,” he added to Ireland and Cooper, noting that he would be out of action “for a little while”.

The presenter also shared a video on Instagram to his followers, warning that the final two episodes of the season are a “difficult watch.”

“Ordinarily, we try to keep the show bucolic, charming and cheerful but the final two episodes that drop in the middle of the night tonight are… none of those things, really,” Clarkson said in a video. “They’re a difficult watch. They’re really, really difficult.”
