Kaleb Cooper, star of Clarkson’s Farm, has shared a heartbreaking update on his health, revealing he’s been battling extreme pain and a viral infection that has left him struggling with “pins and needles” throughout his body. The 27-year-old farmhand and co-star of Jeremy Clarkson took to Instagram to explain the toll his condition is taking on him, admitting he’s never felt pain like this before.
Sitting in his tractor, Kaleb told his followers: “I’ve never been in so much pain in my life. I don’t know how I’m saying this, but I’m 27 years old and I’ve got shingles. It is so painful.” He continued, explaining the pain: “I thought only old people get that—no disrespect if you’re older and have it—but honestly, it’s like pins and needles constantly in your body.”
Kaleb admitted he was struggling with the severity of his condition, stopping mid-sentence as he was overwhelmed by the pain. “It hurts like…,” he began before trailing off, unable to finish the sentence. He then reached out to his fans for advice, asking, “How do I get rid of it? Can I take a tablet to get rid of it really quickly or something?”
Shingles, a viral infection from the same virus that causes chickenpox, can be treated with antiviral medication, though it can’t be fully cured.
Jeremy Clarkson’s Farm Challenges
This revelation comes at a time when Kaleb’s Clarkson’s Farm co-star, Jeremy Clarkson, is facing his own set of difficulties at his Diddly Squat Farm. Recently, Jeremy opened up about his problematic year ahead, admitting he’s not expecting to make any profit from his farm’s crops or animals due to ongoing challenges, including a tuberculosis outbreak among the farm’s cattle and inclement weather halting filming for the new season of Clarkson’s Farm.
While fans are concerned about Kaleb’s health and Jeremy’s struggles, both men continue to press forward with resilience, despite the hardships they are facing.
Support From Fans and Fellow Celebrities

Meanwhile, Jeremy’s fans are also showing unwavering support for his efforts on the farm. While Jeremy has faced some backlash over the welfare of animals on his farm, he has remained steadfast in his mission to educate and entertain viewers with the highs and lows of farming life.
As both Kaleb and Jeremy battle personal and professional challenges, it’s clear that their journeys are far from over. Fans eagerly await the next season of Clarkson’s Farm, despite the setbacks, and continue to stand by both stars through their difficult times.
