Clarkson’s Farm star Kaleb Cooper opened up about experiencing a breakdown during his The World According to Kaleb Tour.
At the start of this year, Kaleb went on a TV tour through the UK, but it wasn’t long before he became emotionally overwhelmed. During his stay at a hotel in Manchester, he found himself struggling to handle the pressure.
Kaleb was extremely excited to be given the opportunity to tour, with one of the shows being filmed for Prime Video. The show will follow the star as he continues his farming work, meeting celebrities and other farmers along the way.
For most of the tour Kaleb traveled by tour bus, spending every night in the bus apart from his stop in Manchester that required him to stay in a hotel, where he had a mental breakdown, reports the Mirror.
Talking about his tour 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 TV star 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 TV personality, widely recognized for his role on the popular reality series Clarkson’s Farm. He works as a farmer alongside former Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson, who is trying to manage a farm in the Cotswolds.
Kaleb gained attention for his down-to-earth personality, farming expertise and genuine interactions with Jeremy, offering an insight to running the farm.These experiences have shot Kaleb to fame, making him a huge figure in the UK farming community.
Kaleb is a father to two children, Oscar and Will Grace, with his fiancé Kaya. Although he is unsure if his children will follow in his farming footsteps. Kaleb explained: “I never want to push them into the job. I want them to choose farming because they like it.”
Continuing he said: “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, he said there is one thing he won’t do when it comes to his kids’ future – visit them in 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 joked.
