Kaleb Cooper has spoken about standing by Jeremy Clarkson after the television presenter revealed he had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer.

The Clarkson's Farm star said he has remained close to Clarkson throughout the ordeal and praised his positive attitude despite the difficult diagnosis.

Speaking after the latest season aired, Cooper said Clarkson was coping well and remained in good spirits.

"He is good. The spirits are high, which is good," Cooper said.

'I've Been Right By His Side'

Cooper described how he supported Clarkson during the months following the diagnosis, saying friendship was more important than ever during such a challenging time.

"If anything like this happens to any of your friends and you just said to my best mate, you've gotta be supported through that whole journey," he said.

"And that's where I've been, I've been right by his side and his spirits are really good."

The 27-year-old said the experience had reinforced the importance of looking after your health and seeking medical advice when something feels wrong.

Message About Early Detection

Cooper urged people not to ignore potential warning signs and highlighted the importance of regular health checks.

"He's strong-minded, he's got a strong mind on him, which is good," he said.

"And the message about catching anything early is quite important."

He added that many people put off appointments because they are busy, but stressed that taking time to get checked could make a crucial difference.

Clarkson Revealed Diagnosis On Camera

Clarkson's diagnosis was revealed during the final episodes of Clarkson's Farm, which documented events between September 2024 and August 2025.

During an emotional conversation with Cooper and farming adviser Charlie Ireland, Clarkson disclosed that doctors had discovered an aggressive cancer following a biopsy.

"I've got cancer," Clarkson told his stunned colleagues.

He explained that the disease had been caught early and that treatment was expected to begin sooner than he had hoped.

Emotional Reaction From Kaleb

The revelation left Cooper visibly emotional, with the farm manager wiping away tears as Clarkson explained the situation.

Despite the shock, Cooper immediately offered his support and reassured his friend that he would be available whenever needed.

"Look after yourself, you go and do... if you need anything just ring," he told Clarkson.

Lisa Hogan Thanks Supporters

Clarkson's partner, Lisa Hogan, has also thanked fans for their messages of support following the public disclosure of the diagnosis.

Sharing a photograph of Clarkson at Diddly Squat Farm, Hogan wrote: "Back at the farm."

She later reposted a message from Prostate Cancer UK and thanked supporters for their well wishes.

Clarkson and Hogan have been together since 2017 and both feature prominently in Clarkson's Farm as they continue running Diddly Squat Farm together.
