NTAs 2024: Kaleb Cooper presents TV Presenter award

Clarkson's Farm star Kaleb Cooper had fans in stitches as he took to the stage at the National Television Awards last night.

The farmer, 26, snubbed the awards show while on stage at the O2 Arena in London as viewers were stunned by his appearance. He won over a legion on fans by appearing on Jeremy Clarkson's hit show based on his Diddly Squat farm and captured the nation's hearts once more last night.

Kaleb, who ditched his muddy wellies and work gear for a smart black tuxedo, took to the stage to present the best TV Presenter award. He read out the nominations for the gong that included Ant and Dec, Bradley Walsh, Alison Hammond, Bradley Walsh, Claudia Winkleman and Stacey Solomon. Presenters Ant and Dec collected their 23rd TV Presenter prize from Kaleb.

However, Kaleb couldn't help but take a subtle swipe at the show. He jokingly called the ceremony the 'National Tractor Awards' instead of National Television Awards. Fans praised Kaleb for giving a nod to his roots and British farming as one said: "Well done Kaleb for your shout out to #BackBritishFarming tonight at the #NTAs #BackBritishFarmingDay."

Another added: "Go on Kaleb. Support British farming, buy British Produce. #NTAs." Someone else commented: "Aw Kaleb I love you." Kaleb joined former Top Gear host Jeremy on his Amazon Prime show back in 2021. He became one of the staples of the series as Jeremy previously said: "We needed a tractor driver for the series and we looked everywhere. I said: 'I tell you what, you could look at the guy who’s actually doing the tractoring here now anyway'. So we got Kaleb and I think you’ll all agree he’s good on television."

Kaleb had worked for the previous farm owner before Jeremy took it over. Away from screens, Kaleb is engaged to his partner Kaya who he has two children with, Oscar and Willa Grace. The couple have been together for close to eight years and on Christmas Day, two years ago, the farm manager popped the question.

Announcing their happy news, Kaleb said: "She said yes! 2022 has been an amazing year. This definitely tops it off. I honestly can’t wait for 2023 and all the following years after that. @tayaaaxx your my best friend as well as the love of my life. Was a long wait for this (6 and a half years)."

Over the years, his relationship with Jeremy has grown to the point where the father of two said they have become "quite close." He told The Times: "We have become quite close now. He’s been a father figure to me when it comes to understanding TV. I’ve learnt from the best there is and – I can’t believe I’m saying this – when he’s not p**sing me off, there is love there." He referred to me as a tractor driver. I’m a Farm Manager. I’m the boss. It’s Kaleb’s Farm, secretly."
