Clarkson’s Farm star Kaleb Cooper has reached out to his supporters for assistance after disclosing a distressing health setback. The agricultural contractor gained fame alongside former Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson as they documented their countryside endeavor at Diddly Squat Farm.
Expressing his agony, Kaleb informed his followers that he is battling shingles, a condition causing a tingling sensation and a painful rash, typically appearing on one side of the body or face. Addressing his 3 million followers from a tractor, Kaleb shared his struggle, stating, “I’ve never experienced such excruciating pain before. I’m 27 years old and dealing with shingles. It’s incredibly painful.”
Surprised by his diagnosis, Kaleb exclaimed, “I always thought only older individuals got this, no offense to those who are older and have it. It feels like constant pins and needles throughout your body.” Avoiding a swear word just in time, he described shingles as “hurting like a…” and asked his fans for advice on quick remedies.
This recent health issue follows a previous incident in June 2025 when Kaleb revealed he had fractured his ankle and required a safety boot. During an appearance on Good Morning Britain last year, the 27-year-old father of three highlighted the challenges faced by farmers while discussing his new children’s book, Kaleb’s Farmyard Tales.
Despite the difficulties, Kaleb remains enthusiastic about his occupation, emphasizing his love for caring for the cows on his farm. Reflecting on the future, he expressed openness to his children following in his footsteps but emphasized the importance of pursuing a career that brings joy and passion.
