Kaleb Cooper has shared a photo of his wrecked barn after a fire ripped through his property.
The Clarkson’s Farm star, 27, posted a photo of smoke inside the barn and said that his supply of straw had caught fire.
Kaleb captioned the Wednesday photo: ‘I’m having a bad day. Anyone got any straw lost all mine (sic).’
In 2021, the entrepreneur shot to global stardom as Jeremy Clarkson’s sidekick on the Amazon Prime Video series, which follows Jeremy, 66, as he runs Diddly Squat Farm, located in Chipping Norton, Cotswolds.
In recent years Kaleb has also purchased his own smallholding nearby, where he keeps chickens, sheep, and pigs.
Kaleb was shocked that fans of the show far and wide jetted into the UK to attend his The World According To Kaleb tour in 2024.

In December that year, he was quoted by the Daily Star newspaper as saying: ‘It was crazy that at some of the shows there were people who’d come from Australia or New Zealand.’
Kaleb has used his fame on Clarkson’s Farm to raise awareness of farming.
He added: ‘Everything I’ve done since being involved in Clarkson’s Farm has been to draw attention to farming, to share what it’s really like in the industry, and really get agriculture talked about as much as possible.
‘From writing books, my bursary, releasing a charity single, doing a theatre tour was another way of getting the word out there and having a lot of laughs along the way.’
Kaleb hopes to earn enough cash to buy his own farm one day, whilst being financially secure to spend time with his and fiancee Taya’s sons Oscar, three, and Ashton, eight months, and two-year-old daughter Willa Grace.
He told The Times: ‘It’s amazing I have two kids, really. I wanted a girl and a boy, which I’ve got and am very grateful. Then when I get older, I can go down the pub with them, or out on the tractors, and I can still be energetic.
‘I’ll make all the money now, hopefully have a farm, then chill out, go partying and be in Ibiza, though I can’t think of anything worse than being in a nightclub. ‘Everyone’s too close to me!’
Kaleb noted that in order to achieve all of his agricultural dreams, he would need a bank balance in the tens of millions and joked that he might consider selling racy pictures of himself on OnlyFans in order to do that.

He quipped: ‘I was told by an old farmer, ‘Kaleb, you can’t farm without an a*******. [He meant you need manure to increase crop yield.]
‘So I’d have 60 dairy cows, 200 beef cows, 5,000 chickens and probably 1,000 acres arable. I’d have a farm shop with a butcher. I’d make my own cheese. [I’d need] about £20 million.
‘Do you want to sign up to my OnlyFans?’
