Kaleb Cooper rushed to hospital as Clarkson’s Farm star reveals painful injury
Kaleb Cooper, the breakout star of Clarkson’s Farm, revealed he was rushed to hospital after suffering a painful ankle injury that left his foot badly swollen.
In a video shared to his Instagram account last night, Kaleb explained the injury happened just after a casual game of football, as he was heading to shut the chickens in for the night.
Panning the camera to his visibly swollen and red ankle, the farmhand winced and exclaimed: “Pain, the pain!”
By the following morning, Kaleb posted a snap from the hospital, showing himself preparing for an x-ray.
A follow-up image revealed he’d been fitted with a medical boot, with the farmer simply captioning the photo: “Not good.”
In a later update, he confirmed the injury was indeed a fracture.
“Hobbling around,” he told fans in another video, revealing the break was more serious than he’d initially hoped.
Despite the injury, Cooper reassured his followers that he wouldn’t be missing his scheduled appearance at the Three Counties Show on Sunday, where he is set to give talks throughout the day.
“I’m looking forward to this one,” he said. “Even though I may be hobbling around, I’ll be there, don’t you worry.”

Cooper is set to appear alongside a host of culinary and farming personalities at this year’s Three Counties Show in Malvern.
The Clarkson’s Farm favourite will be joining Saturday Kitchen and Food Unwrapped star Matt Tebbutt, as well as Countryfile presenter and farmer Adam Henson.
The Malvern Three Counties Show runs from June 13 to 15.
Cooper’s recent ankle injury comes amid growing backlash over his behaviour towards newcomer Harriet Cowan in the latest season of Clarkson’s Farm.
Cowan was brought in as a temporary farmhand while Cooper was away on a nationwide stage tour.
But upon his return, his frosty reception and dismissive attitude toward Cowan left fans unimpressed, with some branding him a “spoilt brat” and even calling for him to be axed from the show.
In one particularly tense moment, Cooper was seen silently inspecting Cowan’s work before sarcastically suggesting she might not have known what fertiliser to use.
The awkward encounter sparked widespread criticism, with viewers accusing him of being unprofessional and unwelcoming.
His behaviour was so noticeably off that even Jeremy Clarkson stepped in.
Upon their return to the barns, Clarkson called out Cooper’s attitude, joking that he’d developed “c*** flu” after being pampered during his time on tour and needed a reality check.
Thankfully, tensions eased over time. As Cooper settled back into the routine of farm life, his relationship with Cowan became noticeably more friendly.
