Clarkson Farm sensation Caleb Cooper is a Chipping Norton boy through and through, but the call of the wild seems too strong to resist.
Though he spent his childhood not far from the Cotswolds, and his first taste of big city life was London’s revolving door and a meeting with former Chancellor Rishi Sunak, Caleb is now hinting at bigger plans.
Speaking exclusively to The Times, he admitted that the land down under was “calling” him, and said he’d even considered catching a jet off to Ibiza. “Right now I’m going to make all my money, hopefully have a farm, and then I’ll relax, party and be in Ibiza,” he said, followed by a candid confession:
Caleb has deep roots in Oxfordshire, with most of his relatives coming from within a 10-mile radius of his hometown. He fondly teases his Oxford-born son: “Those roots run deep.” His uncle and grandmother are resting at home, where he pays his respects three times a day.
Venturing beyond this picture-perfect corner of the UK is foreign to Caleb, who has never set foot outside the UK, been on a plane or even a train before. But earlier this year he braved his fears and toured the UK for his show, Caleb’s World.
He thoroughly enjoyed the tour, describing it as “incredibly amazing”, but was haunted by the urge to go home and filled with anxiety at the prospect of being so far away.
As reported by the Express, Caleb Cooper shared with his followers on Instagram: “It’s fair to say I’m facing my fears head on.”
And he gave an update: “It’s gotten so much better. There are some trailers out there that are better than that. I’m back home but in Scotland.”
Speaking to The Times about his fears, he continued, “If the petrol pump in my car breaks down (while I’m travelling), who do I turn to? That’s when I get nervous.”
