Jeremy Clarkson has called his Clarkson’s Farm co-star Kaleb Cooper a “rural halfwit”.
The pair have become an entertaining duo on the hit Prime Video show which documents day-to-day life on Oxfordshire’s Diddly Squat Farm.
Amongst their many agricultural antics and adventures on the Chadlington farm is the production of alcohol under their brand, Hawkstone.

Clarkson has created his own Hawkstone lager while Cooper has instead opted to back a Hawkstone cider.
The lager made headlines this week after it was reviewed by multi-billionaire Elon Musk on social media.

Featuring on the Hawkstone Instagram account, Musk can be seen taking a sip from a bottle of the lager: "As beer goes, that's great."
Clarkson responded on Musk’s social media platform X and said: “Mr Musk said on social media this week that he doesn’t much care for beer but as beers go, Hawkstone is pretty good.
“So I’d like to return the favour and say that I agree with him. Hawkstone is pretty good.”
This provoked a reaction from fans as one commenter said: “Especially the non-blowy up ones.”
Thousands of bottles of the cider were reported as exploding in the latest season of Clarkson’s Farm causing a headache for Cooper.
Clarkson responded by playfully insulting co-star Cooper and said: “That’s the rural halfwit’s cider. My beer is superb and also non-explosive. As is the cider now.”
