Kaleb Cooper has given Jeremy Clarkson a rare bit of praise as he revealed he is a ‘really good pig farmer’.
The Clarkson’s Farm crew gathered at Diddly Squat to celebrate the launch of series three of the Amazon Prime Video hit show, ahead of its release on May 3.
Jeremy, 64, had switched out his muddy jacket as he joined his girlfriend Lisa Hogan, 50, Kaleb, 25, Gerald Cooper and Charlie Ireland at the event, where they talked about the upcoming series in a Q and A.
Series three will follow Jeremy as he embarks on becoming a pig farmer, fight a Red Tape war with the local council and go head-to-head with Kaleb in the ultimate farming competition.
Kaleb said of Jeremy’s latest arrivals: ‘With the pigs I thought “here we go, here is another thing I will have to babysit but actually, it is the one thing I can leave you to do. He is actually a really good pig farmer.’

Series three will follow Jeremy as he embarks on becoming a pig farmer, but it doesn’t all go to plan with heartbreaking scenes set to air
The presenter was left in tears after his beloved piglets ‘died in alarming numbers’, with the heartbreaking scenes set to air on the show.
The new series features a bet between Kaleb and Jeremy of who can make the most money on the farm.
Jeremy focuses on the unfarmed land – the thick woodland and hedgerows that make up half of Diddly Squat while Kaleb focuses on the farmed land.
Kaleb said: ‘I am never going to forget coming up the drive in the morning and Jeremy is just hoovering a hedge. I thought “you know what? I do not have the energy to stop and ask what you are doing.”
The trailer shows Jeremy using a hoover to try to collect blackberries.
Kaleb added: ‘What the competition highlights is how much money you have to put in as a farmer, to actually then produce food for people on their tables.’
Jeremy revealed some of the rising costs associated with running Diddly Squat Farm as he said: ‘Ordinarily we’d probably spend around £40,000 in seed, fertiliser, slug pellets, diesel etc and all of the various things you need in order to grow food. Well last year it was £108,000 we had to spend.’
Jeremy and Gerald treated guests to a tractor ride to meet the stars of the upcoming series, their pigs.
Attendees also visited the Diddy Squat Farm Shop, where Lisa showcased their Amazon Fresh range, including Jeremy’s Bee Juice Honey and Ghost Chilli Chutney.

The third series of Clarkson’s Farm finds Diddly Squat Farm facing some seriously daunting challenges.
The crops are failing in the severe hot weather, inflation has driven prices of supplies sky high, dreams for the beloved restaurant are dashed and now the farm shop also faces closure.
Jeremy urgently needs to come up with creative new ways of making ends meet, so hatches a plan to turn a profit from hundreds of acres of unfarmed land – thick woodland and hedgerows that make up half of Diddly Squat.
This triggers an avalanche of Clarkson-crafted schemes, involving everything from goats and pigs to mushrooms, nettles and deer.
Someone new arrives to Diddly Squat, which puts Kaleb’s nose out of joint – as well as the returning characters all working to help Jeremy’s farming ambitions come to fruition.
Part 1 (episodes 1-4) will launch May 3, followed by Part 2 (episodes 5-8) launching on May 10 on Amazon Prime Video.
