Jeremy Clarkson shocks fans with very savage reply to Kaleb Cooper's teenage photo

Jeremy Clarkson didn't hold back his opinion as he made a savage comment on Kaleb Cooper's throwback snap.

The Clarkson's Farm owner, 63, has a strong reputation for his brutal remarks and co-star Kaleb didn't get out unscathed.

Kaleb, 24, quickly became a hit with viewers on the Amazon show as he helped out the former Top Gear host on his 1,000 acre Cotswolds farm.

He used his prior knowledge of farm live to help with numerous tasks as well as building a humorous relationship with Jeremy.

The young farmer took to his own social media account to share a snap of himself as a teenager at a farm.

He captioned the post: "This is a throw back 14 years old working on a dairy farm. Dreams don’t work unless you do!"

Just like their cheeky banter on the show, Jeremy commented: "Bit pudgy".

Kaleb recently rocked up at Downing Street for the Government's Farm to Fork summit in the hopes to secure the UK's supermarket supply chains.

The summit follows an announcement that farmers are to be given greater protection in future trade deals as part of a new package of measures unveiled recently.

Jeremy has revealed he is facing financial worries on Diddly Squat Farm after "selling food at a loss".

Claiming it was 'the last roll of the dice', he said: "On top of the physical issues, which will only get worse, there are financial problems too. And they're going to get worse as well.

'Because the grants and subsidies that I used to get from the EU, to recompense me for selling food at a loss, are dwindling until, in three years' time, they will dry up completely. These, then, are troubling times, because what am I to do?

"Farming hurts my back and my knees, and if I attempt to use my land to grow food, I'll lose money. It has been causing me some sleepless nights, that's for sure," reports The Sunday Times.

Self-made agricultural entrepreneur Kaleb has been working in and around farms since he was at school and wants to help those who share his passion.

He has joined forces with the Royal Agricultural University (RAU) to launch a new bursary for those looking to follow in his footsteps and launch a career in agriculture.

Kaleb said: “Farming is who I am. Encouraging the younger generation into agriculture has always been so important to me.

"I feel lucky that I knew my path from such an early age and want to help spread that passion and drive. Launching this bursary means so much, as it can support students who want to pursue an agricultural career or who might be struggling to get into farming.”

Father of one Kaleb is also set to become a dad again after he revealed in January he and his fiancée Taya are expecting a girl.
