Clarkson's Farm Kaleb announces job news in rare departure away from show
Clarkson's Farm star Kaleb Cooper had scarcely left his beloved Chipping Norton last year - but now he's kicked off a mammoth UK-wide tour to promote latest book, Britain According To Kaleb.
Kaleb Cooper seemed to be in high spirits as he kicked off his eagerly awaited tour of the UK
Kaleb Cooper will be presenting Britons with his first-ever theatre tour after hitting the road this week and is scheduled to visit a string of cities including Manchester, Belfast, Birmingham and London.
The 25-year-old farmer usually plays Jeremy Clarkson's advisor and side-kick on the gripping Amazon Prime show Clarkson's Farm, and hasn't historically been keen on venturing far from the rural landscapes he grew up around.
Once, he even declared that New York City would be as undesirable as London to him as there are "no tractors" there.
However, after sharing his final farewell dinner with fiancée Taya on Instagram, he's headed off, beginning with three dates in nearby Cheltenham, before planning to expand further afield.
These images capture the TV personality, who performed at the Everyman Theatre this weekend, looking full of life.
His trip means he'll have to conquer his "fear of the unknown", but he's up for the challenge, saying in a statement that he's "so excited" and "ready to push myself... and put on a show that's full of fun and farming."
Kaleb's tour runs until March 10, and tickets are available here.
